Product Design Managers at TravelPerk directly support Product Designers in delivering the best work they can while also working on high impact strategic design projects.

As a Product Designer Manager, you'll be overseeing the design and implementation of various feature upgrades for our growing platform. You'll team up with Principal Product Managers and Engineering Tribe leads to always keep scope and priorities clear and to advocate for design and the customer within your Tribe and area of ownership.

You will help develop the product strategy for a specific Tribe and fine-tune its design approach, while also guiding our product design teams to execute end-to-end user experiences and take a meaningful part in multidisciplinary teams as the design expert.

This role will be reporting to the Senior Product Design Manager and will be part of the Design Leadership team, shaping how we scale and improve while we grow in size.

  • Collaborate with the wider Product Design team to align the experience, making sure journeys and design patterns across our tools are coherent and consistent
  • Continuously optimise the design operations across the Product Design team, looking after the processes, frameworks and rituals that will make this team a world-class one
  • Influence and support the growth of the team through hiring, networking, and sourcing future team members

What you'll need:

  • 8+ years of experience designing complex systems
  • Demonstrated experience leading design teams, mentoring designers and helping them progress
  • Excellent collaboration skills and ability to constructively direct and inspire action within your team. You can successfully push a team to improve the quality of the work they ship.
  • Solid communication skills (verbal and written). You are comfortable presenting ideas to multiple stakeholders and articulately defending design decisions.
  • Special talent for breaking down complexity and creating context for others
  • Ability to influence product roadmaps working alongside Product Managers and Engineers
  • Experience educating, partnering with, building with, and influencing product teams
  • Experience working in high-growth product companies with an international footprint
  • Strong senior level individual contributor that can jump on hands-on work whenever needed

Why you'll love our team:

  • We are a team of 15 talented product designers, content designers and researchers. We like to think of ourselves as high-achievers, goal-oriented, eager to learn and grow. We foster efficiency through autonomy and creativity through collaboration.
  • Working in the Product Design team will ensure high-quality design, strategic impact in the product and next-level GIFs ?
  • In the Product Design team, you will find a strong culture of ownership, impact-over-effort and lending support to each other, there are no egos and transparency is highly valued.
  • We are an heterogeneous team with multiple nationalities and backgrounds, pushing for getting better, having fun and always asking why (of course).
  • In the next 12 months, we have the challenge to grow our team to almost double its current size, supporting every squad while also scaling our Content and Research functions.

We can help with relocation from anywhere in the world, English is the official language at the office. Please submit your resume in English if you choose to apply. Do not forget to submit an updated portfolio.
