Senior Product Designer, The Cruise Globe

• If you have exceptional product taste, thrive on ownership, and want your work to materially shape a growing business, this role is for you
• Experience at a Senior Level in Product: Proven influence on product direction, not just execution. You have deep UX and UI craft (not visual-only or brand-led)
• Extremely fluent in Figma: (components, variants, auto-layout, design systems, prototyping)
• Has shipped a consumer social product: Feeds, profiles, UGC, interactions, notifications, organic growth loops
• Startup experience required: Comfortable with ambiguity, speed, trade-offs, and incomplete data
• Hands-on individual contributor: This is not a design management role (though leadership and influence are expected)
• Experience designing scalable design systems: Systems that support rapid feature growth without UX degradation

Desirable

• We’re hiring a founding Senior Product Designer to help shape The Cruise Globe. This opportunity is a highly strategic, deeply hands-on role that will define how the product looks, feels, and works for years to come
• This is a rare opportunity to take an already strong foundation and evolve it into a world-class consumer product. Design is not an afterthought here. We believe it is central to growth, engagement, and retention, and this role will sit right at the heart of product decision-making
• We’re a startup, which means not everything is fully defined yet and that’s exactly why this role exists. You’ll have the autonomy to shape UX principles, establish systems, and help decide how we design and ship product, not just what gets designed
• You’ll report directly to the CEO and work closely with Product, Data, and Engineering to build a product that reimagines an outdated industry with particular focus on clarity, simplicity, and ease of use for a largely older, non-technical audience
• You'll lead the end-to-end redesign of the Cruise Globe UX/UI
• Lead Through Craft: Translate complex concepts (e.g. booking cruises, social features, and user-uploaded content) into simple, elegant interfaces
• Deliver developer-ready designs in Figma that balance ambition with feasibility
