Systems Thinker

Are you the new Systems Thinker at 1508?


Are you comfortable navigating complex systems? We’re looking for someone who can make sense of the present, envision the future, and identify what interventions are appropriate to achieve the desired transition.


About the role

You will be joining our team of highly senior strategists working seamlessly alongside our creative team, who are experts at bringing about change through digital experiences.

Whether during early dialogues or in longstanding partnerships, your role will be to research, understand, and communicate the systems dynamics of our clients' domains and pin-point opportunities.

During projects with our clients, you will be the lead on facilitating activities such as:

  • Systems mapping, analysis, and diagnosis to gain an understanding of how the system in question functions.

  • Future scenario envisioning, prioritization, and description to clarify the desired results of the systems intervention.

  • Formulating opportunity spaces and intervention strategies to highlight barriers to overcome and leverage points to utilize when intervening in the system.

  • Defining transition journeys to make sure that all relevant stakeholders are convened during the implementation.

Qualifications

We imagine that you:

  • are someone who finds it natural to inspire others through expertise and integrity

  • have a minimum of 5 years of practical experience working with systems thinking

  • find it natural to cover new ground and make sense of complex systems

  • can bridge the gap between rich insights and conceptual opportunity spaces

  • communicate complexity in a way that is visual, structured, and digestible for other project members and clients

  • can advise and counsel clients through a thorough business understanding

  • thrive at facilitating meetings and workshops with clients and other stakeholders

  • have a commercial mindset and can identify potential collaborations with new and existing clients

  • are familiar with systems coaching as a way to empower people to address root causes, adapt to change, and create value across interconnected parts
