Senior Product Designer - Travel & Hospitality

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Senior Product Designer -- Travel & Hospitality based in Brazil.

We are seeking a hands-on Senior Product Designer to help transform an existing travel and hospitality MVP into a polished, intuitive, and launch-ready digital product. The platform connects travelers through trusted personal networks, enabling them to discover, rent, and exchange homes. You will help evolve an established mobile experience while shaping a more comprehensive and responsive web product. Working closely with founders, technical leadership, and engineers, you will identify usability gaps, refine key customer journeys, and translate business priorities into thoughtful design solutions. This role calls for strong product judgment, creativity, and the ability to work with an evolving product in an early-stage environment. Your work will directly support the platform's initial US launch and establish a scalable design foundation for future growth.

Accountabilities

• Review and evolve the existing product experience, including current Figma assets and the mobile MVP/beta application.

• Collaborate with product and technical leadership to assess the existing experience, identify UX gaps, and prioritize improvements for the initial US launch.

• Translate business and product requirements into clear, intuitive user flows and high-quality interfaces.

• Improve and evolve the existing React Native mobile experience while designing new responsive web experiences that remain consistent with the core mobile product.

• Improve key user journeys across the platform, including:

  • Onboarding and account creation.

  • Home discovery and browsing.

  • Social interactions and trusted-network experiences.

  • Home listing and property presentation.

  • Booking and rental processes.

  • Home exchange workflows.

  • Payments and checkout.

  • Messaging and user communication.

  • Trust and safety processes.

  • Identify usability inconsistencies, friction points, and opportunities to simplify the product.

  • Create wireframes, interactive prototypes, high-fidelity designs, and reusable design components.

  • Maintain and evolve the product design system to support consistency and scalability.

  • Work closely with engineers to validate design feasibility and ensure accurate implementation.

  • Provide product design recommendations, challenge assumptions constructively, and help distinguish launch-critical improvements from longer-term enhancements.

  • Establish a cohesive experience across mobile and web platforms.

  • Document important design decisions, user journeys, and UX workflows to support future product development and team onboarding.

  Requirements

  • Proven experience improving and evolving existing consumer-facing digital products, ideally taking an MVP or beta product toward production or public launch.

  • Strong background in consumer product design and excellent product thinking and UX fundamentals.

  • Advanced proficiency in Figma.

  • Demonstrated experience designing both mobile applications and responsive web experiences.

  • Ability to work effectively within an existing product, improving established functionality rather than focusing exclusively on greenfield design.

  • Experience collaborating directly with software engineers, product leaders, and technical stakeholders.

  • Strong understanding of user flows, interaction design, information architecture, and design systems.

  • Comfortable working in an early-stage or fast-evolving environment where requirements and priorities may change.

  • Ability to balance design quality, user needs, and business priorities with the need to deliver quickly.

  • Strong communication, collaboration, problem-solving, and prioritization skills.

  • Nice to Have

    • Experience in travel and hospitality, home sharing, marketplaces, social platforms, booking products, or other consumer marketplace environments.

    • Experience designing payment, checkout, or transaction workflows.

    • Familiarity with social graphs, messaging systems, or community-driven digital products.

    • Experience working with React Native applications.

    • Frontend development knowledge or the ability to collaborate effectively with frontend engineers.

    • Exposure to design-to-code processes or AI-assisted product development workflows.

    • Experience helping early-stage companies evolve an MVP into a scalable, production-ready product.
