Description

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

We are looking for an experienced Designer with international work experience to join a team of designers, researchers and changemakers worldwide. Ideally, you are comfortable leading innovation projects, managing client relationships, managing the team members, and most importantly, bringing innovation methodologies, ideas and ways of working to a broader team. The current fifteen-person team at the iDE Innovation Lab have been working together for many years, so this is a rare opportunity to join a well-established team working on a broad range of projects with a social innovation focus in Asia, Africa and Latin America.

WHO WILL YOU BE WORKING FOR?

You will be working with the in-house social innovation lab of iDE called Innovation Lab located in Asia and Africa, with a mission to practise, coach, and promote design and innovation processes as a co-creative, power-shifting problem-solving approach to address complex systemic challenges by understanding user needs, motivations, and behaviours and developing new interventions to power entrepreneurs.

The iDE Innovation Lab also functions as a strategy and innovation consultancy in focus areas of water, sanitation & hygiene, climate change (clean energy, conservation), agriculture, and maternal health & nutrition. Over the years, we have worked with a portfolio of international development organisations such as Care International, Hellen Keller, USAID, UNICEF, World Bank Group, Plant and Food Research, Save the Children, and SNV.
