Senior Product Designer (UI/UX)
What You’ll Do:
You’ll work closely with our partners at leading hospitality brands to design amazing user experiences that delight and inspire travelers around the world. You’ll drive the design and success of our tour and activity marketplace by contributing to all phases of a project, from wireframes to visual design, prototyping, and testing. In doing so, you’ll work closely with our Partnerships and Product teams to identify opportunities for improvements and new features, and with our Engineering team to gain technical insight and ensure product builds are reflective of the vision across multiple platforms (mobile, tablet, desktop). In helping to build a design-forward culture, you’ll both maintain and evolve our style guide, product design, documentation, and information architecture approach.
Who You Are:
You are someone looking for an opportunity, not a job! You love your craft, and are ready to contribute to the success of both startup and enterprise-level digital products. You possess a strong work ethic and humble attitude, and operate with a collaborative spirit—you’re comfortable speaking up to share ideas as well as receiving direction and feedback. You are scrappy, resourceful, self-starter that is at their best when working with a team of talented travel enthusiasts.
