We’re looking for an experienced product designer to join our team and lead the end-to-end digital design process. You should have several years of experience doing product design work at a fast-paced technology company. Here, you’ll be the most senior product designer, working directly with Product Owners, engineers, our head of product and leading our small product design team. A typical day might involve launching a brand new landing page A/B test, prototyping a new mobile feature, designing and building a component library, prioritizing competing feature work and mentorship of other designers.

This is a great opportunity for a Senior Product Designer on a path to take on a whole lot more — such as owning the process itself, defining and growing our brand, pairing with frontend developers, getting exposure to the commercial side of the business, and/or getting some product management experience. We’re looking for an ambitious team-player who wants to do more than just push pixels in Sketch.

We think the ideal candidate:

  • Understands the function of design within a data and results-driven environment
  • Is deeply empathetic towards our users, partners, business goals, and tech
  • Is super organized and comfortable working cross-functionally, switching contexts throughout the day
  • Is entrepreneurial and able to work independently and take ownership
  • Likes to travel and learn new things, and is generally curious about the world

We look forward to reviewing:

  • A thoughtful cover letter about your interest in the role
  • Your resume
  • Your work (we like to see live, real-world finished products, but a portfolio is okay too)

An additional writing sample that showcases your ability to communicate (it can be an essay, a narrative, a work of research, a user story, a feature spec — anything that highlights your writing!)

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!

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.

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!
