Rocket Travel, Inc., a subsidiary of Booking Holdings, is 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.

You will:

  • Support the product in all phases of the product life cycle through data analytics
  • Provide rigorous insights into user behavior
  • Use data to prioritize new features
  • Uncover areas of improvement by working closely with product team and a team of data scientists
  • Create and maintain product dashboards to track performance and trends of KPIs using Chartio
  • Deep-dive into A/B test results and suggest new tests to run, using our home-built testing platform and Google Optimize for frontend experiments
  • Collaborate with product owner and development team to determine feasibility and specs of features, inputting those as user stories into JIRA
  • Create documentation on findings and work with senior members of the company to finalize decisions
  • Create your own path at a fast growing company

We think the ideal candidate:

  • Data-driven and analytical, able to ask the right questions and resourcefully find the answer
  • Customer and people focused, optimizing the product from user insights, customer engagement, and product analytics
  • Comfortable with rapidly changing priorities
  • Technical, understanding the inherent tradeoffs building technology products, and experienced in working with engineering and other technical team members — including SQL knowledge

Rocketmiles is a place where you:

  • Own decisions and take action that can be implemented in a matter of days
  • 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
  • Zip over next door to Altered Stage to bang on drums over lunch (one of our company-sponsored benefits)
  • 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!

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!
