Senior Product Designer (Search)

🔍 Who we're looking for: We're looking for an exceptional, senior Product Designer to join our Search Squad. Search is your home domain - but we're hiring for range and depth: a full-funnel, end-to-end design thinker who sees the whole journey, from the first search to a confident booking, and who can go deep where it counts - leading deep strategic and psychological explorations of product and brand, not just shipping screens. You'll be the design owner for some of Vio's highest-traffic surfaces - our Home and Search experience, SEO Landing Pages, and the Search Results Page - continuously optimising and improving the experience across the domain. You'll report into our central Design function, led by our Head of Design and Design Manager, and partner day-to-day with product managers, an Engineering Manager, frontend engineers, product analysts, UX researchers, and content designers. Design at Vio is a strategic function - not just how the product looks, but how it works, feels, and earns traveler trust.

🔎 Who you are:

• You have 5+ years designing large-scale, consumer-facing digital products, with a portfolio of shipped work.
• You've owned the full design process - discovery through delivery and iteration - not just handed off mockups, and you think across the whole journey while being able to go deep on the hardest strategic and behavioural problems.
• Your portfolio shows user-centered problem solving and business impact (ideally backed by data or metrics), alongside high-quality UX, UI, interaction, and visual design.
• You're comfortable designing information-dense, fast-decision interfaces such as search, comparison, or e-commerce.
• You design in an experiment-driven way - fluent in how user behaviour is measured across the funnel, motivated by A/B testing, and able to make sound calls when the metrics aren't there yet.
• You can run your own research and synthesise insight into decisions, and you work well with UX researchers.
• You work fluently in Figma and modern prototyping workflows, and you design with and contribute to design systems.
• You actively use AI as a tool in your craft to work faster without dropping quality.
• You bring people with you: you make the case for design decisions with evidence, influence PMs, engineers and senior stakeholders, and stay resilient when you need to hold your ground - and you navigate ambiguity well. Nice to have: experience in travel/OTA or high-traffic consumer platforms, especially two-sided marketplaces (balancing traveler needs with partner / supply constraints); familiarity with experimentation tools; exposure to multi-brand or white-label design; an interest in designing AI-assisted or conversational experiences (we have a dedicated AI team, so this is a bonus, not a requirement).
