Do you want your designs to delight 1000s of hotels and millions of users?
As the lead Product Designer on the team, you will be responsible for the full life cycle of design. You will be responsible for defining the user experience of our products. This includes user research and analysis as well as turning that analysis into designs and products.
Ultimately you will own the end-to-end design from research, UX flows and journeys, design systems, to high-fidelity mocks and prototypes. This is a unique opportunity to make an outsized impact across a product suite that is used by thousands of premium customers.
