Senior Product Designer, Growth

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 Growth Product Group, you will be focused on increasing our reach through partnerships with travel communities. You will be building tools to help our affiliate partners big and small — airline companies to travel bloggers — easily integrate GetYourGuide experiences into their products, and track their performance. You will also be designing the traveler-facing side of these integrations to ensure they are inspired to discover the activities that our partners are highlighting.

This role can be based in either Berlin or Zurich.
