Product Designer

The TravelPerk Product Design team is looking for its next top hire at various levels of seniority. If you consider yourself an autonomous Product Designer who has worked on SaaS products for at least three years, and keeps the customer at the heart of everything you do, read on…

In TravelPerk, we work in “squads” which are small, autonomous teams made up of full-stack engineers, a Product Manager, and a Product Designer. As a Product Designer, you will be expected to own design within your squad while contributing to the wider design team and product functions within TravelPerk.

But that’s not all…We are looking for someone who will break squad boundaries. This means that you should also be comfortable taking ownership of and driving forward a complementary specialism(s) as well as having a wider impact across teams.

This role can be based from London or Barcelona and requires you to be in the office once per week. 

What you will do:

Within your squad, we require that you are confident in the following:

• A solid grasp of User Experience and Visual Design fundamentals
• Developing a partnership with your Product Manager to fully understand customer needs and business value, challenging each other to raise the bar for your product area.
• Working with our in-house researcher to co-ordinate and run usability tests, discovery sessions, contextual analyses plus any other relevant research required to better understand the problems that our customers are faced with, identifying ways to uncover opportunities.
• Working with our data team to interrogate various data sources to uncover relevant quantitative insights.
• Ideating quickly and effectively with your squad, favoring communication and collaboration over ping-ponging via tools.
• Understanding technical constraints and opportunities through a fundamental understanding of web technologies (HTML5, CSS, JS, APIs) allowing you to communicate ideas effectively with engineers and fellow designers.
• Working with our in-house copywriter to ensure that the product follows the style guide and is effectively localized.
• Working with, and contributing to the Product Design System.
• Continuously optimizing the design process in your squad and across the wider team.
• Testing and optimizing low–high fidelity prototypes with key stakeholders and customers to iteratively validate that we are solving the right problems.
• Driving a mobile-first mindset in your squad and beyond.
• Mentoring and supporting fellow designers, bringing your unique skill-set and continually raising the bar of the team and our products.
• Influencing and supporting the growth of the team through hiring, networking, and sourcing future team members.
• Working in English to a professional level, both writing and speaking

What you need:

• 3+ years working as a Product Designer (working with a SaaS product is an advantage)
• Experience working with Sketch or Figma
• Experience of working alongside engineers and Product Managers in autonomous groups
• Contribution to and familiarization with Design Systems
• Customer-centered mindset (it's at the heart of all of your decisions)
• A positive and proactive team player who can help to elevate us

What do we offer?

• Competitive compensation including equity in the company
• Generous vacation days so you can rest and recharge 
• Health perks such as private healthcare or gym allowance depending on your location
• "Flexible compensation plan" to help you diversify and increase the net salary
• Flexibility to work from home most of the time with core hours
• Unforgettable TravelPerk events including travel to one of our hubs
• Udemy for business account to continue your development 
• Mental health support tool for your wellbeing 
• Exponential growth opportunities 

For certain positions we can help with relocation from anywhere in the world, please let us know in your applications and we will assess whether this is possible. English is the official language at the office. Please submit your resume in English if you choose to apply.
