[Hiring] Staff Product Designer @Wander

Role Description

Wander is building a smarter, AI-powered way for hospitality operators to grow their businesses. We're looking for a Staff Product Designer to lead design on our Discovery team, helping operators reach more travelers and grow with confidence.

You'll partner closely with Product and Engineering to define direction, solve hard problems, and ship exceptional experiences. You'll be the team's only designer, working alongside a small, senior engineering team that ships daily. You'll represent Design in the room, advocate for our customers, and protect the quality and consistency of our product.

What you'll work on

• Make sense of complex data.
• Turn noisy, uncertain information into something operators trust and act on.
• Design how operators work alongside AI.
• Make complex workflows feel clear and intuitive.
• Choose what's next.

Qualifications

• A design leader who can independently set product direction, challenge assumptions, and hold your own in cross-functional decisions.
• Exceptional ownership: proactive, autonomous, and deeply trustworthy.
• Strong product judgment and craft: balancing business needs, customer problems, and great design.
• A gift for complex data: making dashboards, metrics, and data visualization feel simple and trustworthy.
• An AI-native mindset: comfortable using AI, Figma, code, and tools like Vercel to prototype, experiment, and ship fast.
• Curiosity about AI search and travel: experience with SEO, marketing tech, or growth products helps but isn't required.
• A genuine obsession with design: caring about the smallest details and the biggest ideas.

Requirements

• Leads and influences at the team level, rather than only executing scoped projects.
• Represents Design and upholds and evolves the design system without becoming a gatekeeper.
• Operates with a high degree of trust, proactivity, judgment, and autonomy.
• Elevates team quality through better product decisions, clarity, and collaboration.
• Turns ambiguous, data-heavy problems into clear, trustworthy experiences.
• Thrives as the sole designer on a fast-moving engineering team.

Benefits

• Remote in the US.
