Job description

Activate Interactive Pte Ltd (\"Activate\") is a leading technology consultancy headquartered in Singapore with a presence in Malaysia and Indonesia. Our clients are empowered with quality, cost-effective, and impactful end-to-end application development, like mobile and web applications, and cloud technology that remove technology roadblocks and increase their business efficiency.

We believe in positively impacting the lives of people around us and the environment we live in through the use of technology. Hence, we are committed to providing a conducive environment for all employees to realize their full potential, who in turn have the opportunity to continuously drive innovation.

We are searching for our next team members to join our growing team.

If you love the idea of being part of a growing company with exciting prospects in mobile and web technologies that create positive impact on people's lives, then we would love to hear from you.

This is a 12-months fixed term contract.

What will you do?

The project explores how to help agency teams move from fuzzy business ideas and scattered information toward clearer, buildable requirements for digital products. The insights from this work will directly inform the design of a tool or agent intended to support that process. The role is both applied service design and generative discovery - understanding the real problem before shaping the solution.

• Run discovery with agency teams to understand how they currently form ideas, gather information, and arrive at requirements for digital products
• Map the end-to-end process from initial business idea to defined requirement, surfacing where teams get stuck, lose information, or diverge
• Identify patterns, friction points, and unmet needs across teams, and synthesize them into clear, structured insight
• Translate findings into design principles and requirements that inform the concept and design of a supporting tool or agent
• Prototype and test process interventions or concepts to validate whether they help teams reach buildable clarity
• Facilitate workshops to frame problems, align stakeholders, and pressure-test emerging concepts

Requirements

• At least 5 years of experience in service design, UX research, or product discovery, with experience shaping ambiguous problem spaces
• Strong generative research and synthesis skills - able to turn messy, scattered inputs into structured insight
• Comfort designing for process and workflow problems, not only interface problems
• Confident workshop facilitation and stakeholder engagement
• Ability to work independently in an exploratory 0-1 context where the end product is not yet defined
• Interest in or exposure to AI-assisted tools or agents is an advantage

Benefits

What do we offer in return?

• Fun working environment
• Employee Wellness Program
• To work in Singapore Government Agencies projects
• We provide structured development framework and growth opportunities. (We are a \"SHRI 2025 Gold winner\" in \"Learning & Development; Coaching & Mentoring\")
