Team mission

As the Senior UX Manager for Transactions and On-Trip, you will lead a small team of product designers, content designers, and researchers. You will be responsible for the customer experience across our payments, checkout, and post-booking service journeys, with a focus on reliability, flexibility, and support at scale. Your teams are the stewards for hassle-free transacting, payment integrity, and all aspects of post-purchase fulfilment - from confirmations to flexibility, through to multi-channel on-trip support and resolution. You’ll enable travelers to move from booking to experience in a secure, seamless, and supported way aligned with business and regulatory requirements.

Your mission

Lead and manage a team of 3 designers, 2 content designers, and 1 researcher (dotted line), focused on Transactions (checkout, payments, wallets, refund flows) and On-Trip (post-booking service, fulfillment, resolution, multi-channel support).
Enable your team to deliver measurable improvements in conversion, payment reliability, post-booking NPS, and customer support efficiency.
Develop strong relationships and collaborate closely with PM, engineering, research, risk, compliance, data analytics, and support ops.
Guide your team to solve for technical complexity in payments, anti-fraud/security, and regulatory requirements without sacrificing usability.

Build and evangelize best-in-class experiments, data-driven design, and rapid optimization for all payment and support touchpoints.
Coach your team for excellence in delivery and personal growth; you ship high-quality work at speed and scale, raising the bar on craft and process.
