ABOUT WAY

We're building the world’s first B2B software platform that enables consumer brands to launch experiences. 76% of consumers would rather spend their money on experiences over things, yet still, no solution exists to help consumer brands make the transition to meet this rapidly changing consumer behavior. The Way platform is the infrastructure for any brand to launch experiences using software-driven automation to drive new revenue, build brand loyalty, and support their communities.
Way was founded in May of 2020, but today already supports dozens of leading brands in the hospitality space, like The Little Nell in Aspen, Salt Hotels, Bunkhouse Group in Austin, Life House Hotels, and many others, across the U.S., Mexico, and Europe, and is averaging double-digit month over month ARR growth.

DESIGNER - UI/UX, BRAND
We're looking for a driven, talented, and curious designer to join our team and be among the first hires at a high-growth, industry-changing, and globally-minded technology company. As the company's first full-time design hire, you will take ownership of the design system, improve our web-app for our users, create a process for design-to-dev handoff, and ensure brand consistency across all departments of the business.
The primary focus of the role will be product (UI/UX) design - where you will be working with the product and engineering team to mock-up and create hi-fi designs for new feature development. However, you will also aide other departments by creating branded decks, contributing updates to the website, and crafting other sales & success collateral.
Finally, we’re looking for people who are entrepreneurial - you’re not looking for just another job, but for a place to take ownership (literally) in your work and the fruits of your labor, and you’re able to think long-term and committed to contributing to building a successful company.
YOU WILL
- Contribute to overall strategy and decision-making about product direction
- Deliver and refine clear storytelling around product needs and opportunities
- Create, collaborate, and iterate on flows, prototypes, and high-fidelity visuals
- Work closely with the Head of Product and Lead Software Architect during planning and implementation
- Work with the engineering team to ensure implementation of the designs are pixel-perfect
- Update and add value to Way's user dashboard and consumer facing booking script
- Develop branded collateral that can be used across sales, marketing, & customer success
- Contribute to any website design changes
WE'RE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO HAS
- 3-5 years experience as a a professional designer
- The ability to work independently to explore concepts from beginning to end, yet also craves healthy feedback loops with their ideas
- Experience working with Figma & FigJam
- Attention to detail, meticulous and systematic
- The ability to write clearly and effectively
- Excellent communication and organizational skills

THE REST
- Compensation includes highly competitive salary, generous equity, medical, dental, and vision coverage paid 100% by company, 401K benefits and other travel-related perks.
- Candidates are required to be located in or willing to relocate to Austin, TX. Way is building a workplace environment of team members who are passionate and excited to be together in person at its space in downtown Austin to continue to enable our fast-paced growth trajectory.
- You should be excited about startups and not looking for an easy job. This is a commitment, but it’s a commitment that will set you, and as a byproduct, the company, apart from the pack
