• Use prototypes, research findings, analytics and experimentation to improve user experiences.
• Experiment with AI tools and model outputs to explore new AI-powered travel experiences.
• Design collaborative features that help groups plan trips and make decisions together.
• Participate in design critiques and reviews.
• Mentor other designers and promote high standards of design quality, accessibility and inclusion.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Design, Human-Computer Interaction, User Experience or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
• At least five years of professional experience in product design, UX design, interaction design or a related discipline.
• A strong portfolio demonstrating shipped digital products and excellent visual and interaction design.
• Ability to explain design decisions, challenges, trade-offs and the impact of previous work.
• Strong expertise in interaction design or visual design.
• Additional skills in prototyping, user research, facilitation, information architecture or content design.
• Experience designing complex digital products in collaboration with product and engineering teams.
• Ability to turn unclear problems into practical design solutions.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to present design decisions to technical and senior business stakeholders.
• Proficiency in modern design and prototyping tools.
• Experience working with established design systems and contributing to their improvement.

Preferred qualifications

• Experience designing large-scale shopping, discovery, marketplace or travel products.
• Experience building collaborative or multi-user digital experiences.
• Hands-on experience prototyping with AI tools and working directly with AI model outputs.
• Experience building interactive concepts using large language models or generative AI.
• Experience working with user researchers.
• Ability to use qualitative research and behavioural data to guide product design decisions.
