Whether it’s serving travelers or our partners, we believe great design starts by putting the customer first. Rocketmiles is looking for a customer-obsessed Senior Experience Designer to join our Design team in Chicago. 


As a Senior Experience Designer at Rocketmiles, you will: 

  • Work as a design generalist. You’ll execute all aspects of design including user research, interaction design, and visual design. 
  • Talk to customers. You’ll get to know our customers through shadowing, interviews, and basic usability tests.
  • Be a partner. Silos aren’t our thing; you’ll be a partner to product, engineering, customer loyalty, business development, and others around the company.
  • Keep it human. You’ll prioritize customer needs, set success metrics, and contribute to the team’s roadmap.
  • Craft a vision. Design has the unique ability to illustrate the future. Using data, customer insights, and business objects, you’ll paint a picture of where we should explore and the minimum lovable products to get us there. 

About you:

  • You’ve designed and shipped multiple products in the past. We’re looking for someone with 5+ years of experience bringing ideas to life and evolving them. 
  • You’ve worked in data-driven environments. We embrace both quantitative and qualitative data. You’re experienced in using data as a means to inspire and evaluate a concept.
  • You enjoy the details. From writing a thoughtful discussion guide to crafting the perfect micro-interaction, you enjoy getting your hands dirty in the nuance of design. 
  • You’re familiar with the Human-Centered Design process. You know how to keep the customer at the front and center of each project, while balancing the needs of the business and technology.
  • You seek feedback. You have a growth mindset, are comfortable soliciting feedback, and are curious to learn from a spectrum of perspectives.
  • You balance exploration with execution. Exploration and execution are both key to building innovative experiences. You understand when it’s time to explore and when it’s time to deliver. 
  • You’re familiar with current design tools. You’ve used Sketch, Invision, and excited to dive into Figma. 

Rocketmiles is a place where you:

  • Own decisions and take action that can be implemented in a matter of days (or hours).
  • Assume lots of responsibilities early on in your career and grow professionally with experienced business, design, and technology teammates in a workspace built upon trust.
  • Work with a group of intrinsically motivated people with a track record for building successful new businesses from scratch.
  • Receive a competitive compensation package, including bonus, 401k, health, and dental insurance.
  • Get inspired and encouraged to vacation faster, with an annual vacation stipend
  • Share your passion for travel with similar-minded people.
  • Work within the largest online travel company in the world (Booking Holdings) at the pace of the fastest-growing startup within the family, with a high impact on customers.

An Insider's view of Rocket Travel

What are some social events your company does?

Every year, Rocket Travel puts on an annual company retreat. Last year, we went to Scottsdale, AZ where we got to spend time with our co-workers from all across the Globe! One of my favorite memories was participating in a team building event where we got to build dog houses and donate them to military families in need.

Emma

Senior Recruiter

What does your typical day look like?

In the morning, I set time aside to drink coffee & plan my day. Our team does a daily sync to discuss goals & where we need support. The majority of my time is spent creating and updating email journeys for our partners as well as for Rocket. I enjoy brainstorming creative ideas for future campaigns & ways to engage with our audiences!

Ebony

Email Marketing Associate

How does the company support your career growth?

Something that has marked my career path has been the ability to learn from such talented & empathetic women at different levels - my managers, team, and colleagues. They are all so passionate about what they do that it is contagious! Most recently, Rocket has supported the most significant change I've ever imagined; relocating across the globe.

Andrea

Director of Strategic Partnerships (APAC/MEA)

How do you make yourself accessible to the rest of the team?

Everything from virtual hangouts to wellness check-ins have worked well, but don't necessarily replace the innovation and collaboration from "random office chats." Making it a habit to hop on a videocall or chat conversation with someone you haven't spoken to in a while can help alleviate some of that pain.

Simon

Chief Product Officer

How does your team reward individual success?

Rocket regularly refines our people processes to ensure team members have opportunities to be recognized for their contributions & build a fulfilling career here. We provide transparency around career paths and compensation. We also facilitate a performance management process, which incorporates 360 feedback, to promote professional growth!
