About the job

Over the last few years, Hopper has evolved and grown from an app which helps consumers save money on flights to a full-service global travel agency. As such, our various customers and partners - consumers, travel suppliers, and advertisers - expect the highest quality product which meets their various objectives. The Growth team needs a Sr. Product Designer who is experienced, driven, data-driven, and endlessly curious to understand and deliver on the needs of these various constituents and create high-quality end-solutions which help meet customer and business objectives through seamless and cohesive UX.

This Sr. Product Designer will work across three product development teams within Growth working on very different problems for different customers. These three teams are:

Retention & Loyalty: How can we keep and add more value to our millions of travelers? Where can we make their travel booking experience better, and implement ways to make Hopper their always go-to booking platform?

App Experience: How can we improve several parts of the core user journey - onboarding, the trips hub, and more - to better meet customer and business objectives?

Ads: How can we design ad experiences which surface relevant content for users while meeting advertiser objectives?
