We are looking for an executive-level Product Designer to help redefine how modern travellers discover, book, and experience their journeys. Based in London with three days a week in our central office, you will play a leading role in shaping the design vision across our consumer and platform products. This is a hands-on senior position where craft, strategy, and influence converge, and you will be trusted to drive decisions from early discovery through to launch. You will partner with product, engineering, and commercial leaders to translate ambiguous problems into elegant, measurable experiences. Beyond shipping features, you will help mature our design culture, contribute to our growing design system, and mentor others by example. If you thrive when given autonomy and want your work to influence millions of trips a year, we would love to talk.
This is a hybrid role, with an expectation of 3 days per week in the office (London).

- Contribute to product strategy and influence the roadmap with insight grounded in user research and data

- Prototype concepts at varying fidelities and refine them rapidly through usability testing and stakeholder feedback

Requirements
- Demonstrate a strong portfolio of shipped case studies that show measurable outcomes and clear design thinking
- Show a proven ability to simplify complex, multi-step workflows into intuitive and elegant user journeys
- Bring substantial experience collaborating cross-functionally with product, engineering, research, and commercial teams
- Operate at an executive level, setting design direction and raising the quality bar across an entire product area
- Communicate clearly in writing and in person, adapting your message for designers, executives, and engineers alike.
Nice to have
- Experience designing for API-driven, platform, or developer-facing products is highly valued
- Previous exposure to mentoring designers or managing a small team would be a meaningful plus
- Familiarity with growth experimentation, funnel optimisation, and conversion-focused product work is welcome
- Track record of scaling a design system across multiple teams, brands, or product surfaces.
