Description

  • Own and define the overall design vision and standard for the product.
  • Lead the design of the entire platform and maintain the end-to-end quality bar.
  • Drive high-stakes design work from discovery and research through prototyping, visual design, and interaction design.
  • Own the design language, style guide, and component library, keeping the system coherent as the product scales.
  • Reduce design complexity and eliminate inconsistencies before they compound.
  • Build, direct, and lead a lean product design team.

  • Partner closely with Product and Engineering leadership on what gets built and how it is designed.
  • Use research, analytics, experimentation, and customer feedback to inform design decisions and measure impact.

Requirements

  • Proven ownership of design direction end to end, from discovery through shipped features.
  • Track record of raising the standard of other designers through feedback, hiring, and high expectations.
  • Still hands-on with design work within the last 3 years, rather than moving into pure management.
  • Strong research and briefing skills, not just visual polish.
  • Strong product thinking and the ability to operate as an equal partner with Product and Engineering leadership.
  • High agency, ownership, and comfort working in a lean, low-bureaucracy environment with modern AI tooling.
  • Comfort using Whimsical for mockups and Figma for design work.
  • Ability to work in a European or North American timezone up to the U.S. East Coast.
  • Short-term rental, travel, hospitality, or proptech experience is preferred.
