Your Mission

As the Sr. Product Design Manager for Travel at Engine, you will own the end-to-end booking experience—from search through stay. You will lead a team of designers inside our Travel pillar and partner directly with Product, Engineering, and Data to shape strategy and ship high-impact work.

What You'll Do

• Lead the design vision for Engine's booking experience and make it smarter, faster, and more delightful.
• Guide and mentor a talented team of 3-6 product designers while rolling up your sleeves when the work needs your hands.
• Set the creative direction and uphold a high bar for clarity, craft, and consistency across all travel surfaces.
• Turn insights, trends, and product goals into simple, intuitive experiences that our users love.
• Work closely with partners across the company to move fast, solve real traveler problems, and ship high-impact work.
• Champion design's role in shaping strategy and driving meaningful business outcomes.
• Use modern AI-native workflows (Cursor, Figma Make, MCPs, prototyping systems) to increase velocity and leverage.

What We're Looking For

• Mastery of the full product lifecycle, from shaping product strategy and guiding discovery to driving concepts and build-ready execution.
• Strong design craft across visual, interaction, and UX, with a focus on clarity, utility, delight.
• Expertise in managing complex groups of stakeholders.
• People leadership experience in hiring, coaching, and elevating the team's bar.
• Proven ability to align and influence PMs, engineers, data, and executives.
• Fluency in Figma, design systems, and emerging tools like Pencil / Cursor.
• Clear, compelling storytelling, able to communicate the strategic why, not just the design.

What You Get

• Unmatched growth: You're surrounded by the best in the biz and we invest in our top performers.
• Ownership and freedom: You're a driver, not a passenger, of our success.
• Rebellious spirit: We never say no to a good idea and are willing to take smart risks.
• Unconventional collaboration: We play by our own rules, have high standards and low ego.
• The best you: We expect that everyone shows up as their true self, never self-sensor.
• The Engine Edge: Perks & Compensation: Check out our full list at engine.com/culture.
