Our client has built a service unlike any that have come before it in the online

by the challenge of solving unique UI/UX problems in a compressed timeframe
while balancing the needs of the business and the constraints of the medium.
You will report directly to the Sr. Manager of Product and will work alongside
our product managers and engineers. You will be responsible for providing
design leadership for all components of our service - from web pages, to
emails, to mobile screens, and printed itineraries.

a team of rock star designers who are able to work both independently and
collaboratively.
Developing
each team member through ongoing coaching; setting and evaluating individual
objectives.
Leading
the development and ongoing maintenance of our company's style guide: refining

the walk: Leading design throughout the entire product lifecycle, from initial
explorations through final design deliverables, user interface elements, and

Communicating
design strategy and rationale to key stakeholders.
