Senior Product Designer, Discovery Experience

We’re on a mission to give the whole world access to incredible experiences. What do people value the most from their trip to a new destination? It’s probably not the flight they took, nor the hotel they stayed in. People value experiences––visiting the Colosseum Underground, seeing the Vatican Museums, or taking a delicious street food tour of Rome. These experiences help people connect with their destination’s history and culture, creating memories that last a lifetime.

As a member of our Discovery Experience Team, your goal will be to understand the needs of travelers that land on our web and app experiences and design solutions based on the insights. What do travelers need when they know their destination but are still discovering how to experience it? What is the best experience when they know which attractions to visit but not how to experience them best? This will be about understanding the users' psychology and their informational needs — helping them to plan their travel as well as showcasing the experiences GetYourGuide has to offer.
