We merge the best parts of technology, nonprofit, and government to help support the people who need it most. With a focus on diversity, equity, inclusion, and deep empathy for partners in government and community organizations and the people that our partners serve, we’re building a movement of motivated change agents driven by meaningful results and lasting impact. At Code for America, you contribute to exciting work while learning and developing in a supportive and flexible environment. Our compensation and benefits are holistic and thoughtfully curated to represent our employees and our mission. Help us drive real generational change that lasts.
We are seeking a Senior Service Designer to join our Design Team. As part of the Design Team at Code for America, you will help transform how government services are delivered. Your work will demonstrate that design can create the conditions for generational, systemic change and help millions of people in need.
About the Role:
The Service Design Team operates with the following principles:
Work with community
Serve everyone with respect
Change the system
Start today
Read more about our design principles here .
Our service designers work on small and highly collaborative multidisciplinary teams to evaluate government services, prototype design interventions, facilitate workshops and co-design sessions, create actionable resources, and teach government how to apply human centered design to their programs and services.
In this role you will be a part of our Opportunity Accelerator (OA) program - a program that works with local governments to strengthen the wellbeing of individuals and foster thriving communities by improving economic mobility and promoting racial equity. This work is done in coalition with four additional organizations containing complementary expertise in supporting local governments. You should be comfortable leading, scoping, and planning design work on multiple projects as well as guiding your internal team on work prioritization based on desired outcomes & service designer capacity.
You’ll help provide clarity in an ambiguous space, working with many organizations and local governments. Your primary impact in this role will focus on helping the OA coach government stakeholders through a human-centered design process that prioritizes codesign with impacted populations, community based organizations, and service providers. This role will not be product-focused, but instead involve thinking strategically about systems change and how to impact longer-term equitable population-level outcomes by collaborating with partners to build connections with local governments across each jurisdiction.
The Senior Service Designer will report to a Design Manager or the VP of Design.
In this position you will:
Facilitate change behavior: Advise government partners by advocating for a long-term vision and taking small, tangible steps toward that vision.
Scope & plan service design work: Based on your program team’s desired outcomes, identify the appropriate activities, estimate capacity, and visualize and track progress.
Locate and define problems : Identify the right questions, frame and reframe problems through an equity-centered approach, and drive clarity at all stages of a project.
Visualize complexity: Create compelling journey maps, frameworks, and diagrams that inspire systemic improvements.
Prototype and implement holistic services: Prototype and test different approaches that balance user needs, technology limitations, financial constraints, and policy realities.
Build connections across silos: Convene and coach internal teams and external stakeholder and community groups through the human-centered design process.
About you:
At least 4 years of service design experience or related design experience in product, user experience, or human-centered design;
A portfolio of service design work that outlines your design process, deliverables, and impact - we understand that formal portfolios may privilege some applicants over others. We’re open to receiving any examples of work you have, even if it is not a formal portfolio;
Experience facilitating and running workshops and alignment sessions;
Familiarity working within or alongside iterative software development practices;
Demonstrated ability to design, test, implement, and measure multi-channel experiences that include a digital product delivery;
Willingness to travel for research and client workshops (up to 40% of the time);
We strongly encourage individuals impacted by the criminal justice system (individuals with criminal records, family members of individuals with criminal records, etc.) or who have participated in social safety net programs (SNAP, welfare, WIC, Medicaid, etc.) to apply.
What you’ll get:
Salary:
Code for America’s salary bands are transparent internally as a part of our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. We are happy to extend this transparency during the recruitment process.

We serve Coloradans who have less power, privilege and income, and prioritize Coloradans of color.
We do everything with the intent of creating health equity.

Feel comfortable engaging in complex conversations around health equity and the Foundation’s strategies and centering race in our work.
Be skilled at critical thinking, problem solving, and have an ability to make decisions and see paths forward even when there is considerable ambiguity.
Create conditions that allow internal and external groups to plan, develop and implement work, including facilitation of those groups

KIND’s social services program ensures that migrant and refugee children – who have often endured trauma – receive counseling, educational support, medical care and other comprehensive services.
To address the root causes of child migration from Central America and strengthen protection of unaccompanied children, KIND advocates for policy changes and educates lawmakers, the media, and the broader public on the conditions that drive these children to flee their home countries. KIND supports children returning to their home countries by connecting them to essential support services and sponsors gender-based violence prevention programs in Central America to protect children in countries of origin and transit.

Essential Functions:
Provide both mentoring to KIND pro bono attorneys and direct legal representation to KIND clients.
In the pro bono mentoring function, provide robust consultation and technical assistance to pro bono attorneys who have accepted a KIND case.
In the direct representation function, perform ordinary functions of legal counsel including legal research and formulating the legal strategy for the case; conducting client interviews; appearing before immigration and/or state courts or agencies; and drafting and filing court pleadings and applications for benefits.
Supervise interns and/or other non-attorney staff as needed including:
Onboarding, skills training, daily support and coaching, review and quality assurance of filings, regular check-ins and performance evaluations, and provision of consistent and effective supervision and oversight.
Place cases with pro bono attorneys and actively build relationships between KIND and the pro bono community.
In coordination with KIND’s Training and Technical Assistance Team and the local field office Senior Attorney/s, as needed, help develop pro bono training resources and local training curriculum, including sample filings and guidance packets. With supervision, present trainings to pro bono attorneys and community groups.
Contribute to overall office functioning, including actively participating in field office and KIND-wide calls and meetings, field office and KIND-wide committees, and assisting with office events.
Ensure entry of timely, accurate, and detailed case data into KIND’s case management systems.
