Summary
Made Tech is on a mission to use technology to improve society - for everyone. We help public sector organisations transform, deliver and manage world-class digital products and cloud services. We work with the UK government to modernise legacy technology and shape the digital future of the country. We support local government teams in building accessible services that make a real difference to people. And we help the NHS use technology to improve and save lives.
We have a growing community of passionate designers and researchers to support the public sector’s growing demand for a design-led approach to service delivery.
Lead Designers are expert practitioners who influence and mentor others. They work with teams and clients to design and deliver public services. They do this by setting the direction, assuring the quality of design delivery across teams, and by leading multiple, or highly complex, services. They have an important role in creating a healthy user-centred practice (UCP) community and culture at Made Tech.
