Job Description
As Travelstride’s lead UX Designer, you will work with the founder, product manager and a team of developers to create and improve engaging and satisfying user experiences with new platform features for both travelers and travel companies. As the only full-time designer at this early-stage company, you will be responsible for the complete user experience as well as the look and feel of our products.

To thrive in this role, you would possess a unique blend of UX, design, business, and technical savvy; a big-picture vision, and the drive to make that vision a reality with a ‘get it done’ attitude.
On our team, you will :
- Create beautiful web pages and experiences that delight users and achieve business goals.
- Design wireframes and pixel perfect hifi designs to meet business needs balancing UX, SEO, CRO and other business goals.
- Develop UI mockups and prototypes that clearly illustrate how sites function and look.
- Gather and evaluate user requirements in collaboration with product manager and engineers.
- Illustrate design ideas using storyboards, process flows and sitemap.
- Design graphic user interface elements, like menus, tabs, and widgets.
