Job description

We’re looking for a Staff Product Designer to join our Travel Team. Our ideal candidate is a practitioner who can untangle complex B2B workflows and bring them to life with high-quality execution.

In this role, you will take ownership of key areas within our Enterprise platform, moving from early-stage discovery and logic mapping to high-fidelity UI and rigorous developer handoff. We need a designer who is equally comfortable defining the “how it works” as they are the “how it looks.”

What you’ll do

• End-to-End Ownership: Lead the design process for specific Enterprise workstreams, including our ai workstream —from initial concept and user flows to final UI polish and developer-ready documentation.
• Simplify Complex Systems: Translate intricate business requirements and dense data into clear, intuitive B2B interfaces. You’ll turn “information overload” into a streamlined user experience.
• Systems Thinking: Contribute to and evolve our design system. You’ll ensure that enterprise-grade features remain consistent, accessible, and scalable across web and mobile.
• Influence through Narrative: Present complex concepts in an easily digestible narrative to influence partners and stakeholders. You don’t just show screens; you tell the story of the user’s journey.
• Bridge the Gap to Engineering: Collaborate daily with developers to ensure your designs are implemented as intended. You care about the details of the final product as much as the initial prototype.
• Data-Informed Advocacy: Use research and product analytics to validate your design decisions, working closely with our UXR and Content partners to build a well-rounded vision.
• Global Collaboration: Work as part of a global team spanning Berlin, India, and San Francisco. You’ll facilitate design rituals and syncs that bridge time zones and cultures.

What we’re looking for

• 7-9 years of Product Design experience: Specifically within B2B, SaaS, or complex technical systems. You should be comfortable with deep hierarchies and power-user workflows.
• Full-Stack proficiency: A portfolio that demonstrates strength in both UX Architecture (logic, edge cases, user flows) and UI Design (layout, hierarchy, and interaction).
• Figma expertise: Proficiency in Figma is required; you use auto-layout and components to build organized, scalable files.
• Shipped B2B Work: A proven track record of shipping impactful work in a B2B or B2B2C environment.
• Technical fluency: You understand the constraints of web and mobile. You speak the language of developers and know how to negotiate a design without sacrificing the user experience.
• An Iterative mindset: You believe that “done is better than perfect” but “perfecting” is what happens in the next sprint. You thrive on fast feedback cycles.
• Strong communication: You can explain the “why” behind a design decision just as easily as you can discuss high-level product strategy.
• A Remote collaboration mindset: Excellent asynchronous communication skills. You thrive in a global environment where documentation, Slack, and proactive updates are key to team success.

Bonus points:

• An added background in travel–or a deep interest in travel–is a significant plus!
• Experience designing an AI solution
• Motion design
