Hotels.com™ ​is growing and we are looking for our new Product Designer to join the team ! Your primary domain will be with the loyalty team where we look at ways to improve customers engagement through our rewards program and/or other initiatives across the customers' travel lifecycle across Web, App and CRM.

Our design team is an essential partner to our product and tech teams at Hotels.com. Our designers are involved in every aspect of the product design process, from brainstorming big gnarly problems to tweaking pixels just before launch.

We learn about our customers’ behaviours and then use that understanding to improve their experience across all our services. We work closely with product managers and engineers, but also with wider teams like CRM, customer service and marketing, which gives us a broad experience across the business. There’s a lot to take in and crazy complexity to juggle. We are curious, tenacious, open-minded and creative problem solvers. We love trying to figure out why our customers behave the way they do, and never stop learning and questioning.

All candidates should be able to provide examples of work demonstrating an ability to generate ideas and design execution backed by insights, problem solve and effectively communicate their thinking.

What you will do:

Problem Definition and Product Strategy:
Working together with Product manager and marketing:

  • You will challenge the starting definition of a problem, ask why, clarify assumptions.

  • You will frame problems and opportunities clearly through analysis of qualitative and quantitative inputs, and customer and stakeholder perspectives.

  • You will define customer experience success metrics for feature-level work.

Ideation and Visualization:

  • You will build the habit of generating diverse, novel, workable concepts, and use different methods to identify ideas with the most potential.

  • You will gain experience in facilitating idea generation with cross-functional teams.

  • You will demonstrate solid understanding of common visual and interaction design principles and practice, and create appropriate sketches, wireframes, flows, design comps, and prototypes and know when to use which artefact where and when.

Systems Thinking:

  • You will learn to consider customer experiences more broadly by default and understand how to push on constraints to align structure, process and technology.

  • You will use design system effectively and appropriately with some guidance and understand differences and similarities between design systems/platforms.

Communication and Presentation:

  • You will create routine, informative communication materials explaining design thinking & decision-making rationale to team members and stakeholders.

  • You will collect, process and act on design feedback constructively, from stakeholders and other designers.

  • You will consider the audience's specific needs.

Customer Centricity:

Advocate for always taking into the customer perspective by:

  • Applying existing customer insights from research to guide design decisions and also aligning the team on these insights.

  • Follow standard design and research processes and best practices under guidance.

  • You will design explorations and solutions which are focused on customer needs, wants, and problems.

Who you are:

  • Bachelor's or Equivalent Experience; Human-Computer Interaction, User Experience or related Design field or relevant experience is applicable.
  • Strong in these core areas: Interaction design, visual/graphic design, Information architecture, Facilitation, Prototyping, designing for web and app, responsive/adaptive design principles.
  • Have some knowledge in Technical/Platform limitations, UX writing, branding, user research.
  • Experience in insight-driven design (e.g. site analytics, MVTs and/or user research).
  • Comfortable working in a fast paced environment with multiple stakeholders.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to clearly articulate design rationale.
  • Experience in solving end-to-end UX problems.
  • Comfortable with managing multiple stakeholder requirements.
  • Self-starter, able to self-manage, plan activities and timelines and be accountable for them.
