Senior Product Designer, Guest Commerce
About the role
Why this role
Evolve is the largest tech-enabled vacation rental management company in North America, and evolve.com is our consumer marketplace. We are hiring a Senior Product Designer to own how travelers find, trust and book a stay with us.
You will lead product design across our direct booking surfaces: search, dynamic pricing, mobile checkout, promotions, and AI trip planning. You will collaborate in a dedicated pod: a PM, two full-stack engineers, and analytics all focused on evolve.com. If you are a hypothesis-driven e-commerce designer who balances customer trust and visual craft with conversion lift and works AI-native, come build with us.
What you’ll do
- Design the Booking Funnel: Own the evolve.com path-to-purchase—search, listing pages, and checkout.
- Search & Inventory Discovery: Shape intuitive search, filtering, and recommendation and Ai trip planning patterns that help travelers quickly find the ideal home or discover suitable alternatives.
- High-Consideration Purchase UX: Design clear pricing architecture, fee structures, and value propositions that build guest confidence and reduce purchase anxiety.
- Mobile Commerce: Optimize the end-to-end transaction flow on mobile web, prioritizing speed, clarity, and timely support at critical moments of hesitation.
- Retention & Re-Engagement: Design high-leverage touchpoints across the guest lifecycle, including promotional incentives, cart recovery flows, referrals, and repeat-stay loops.
- Hypothesis-Driven Experimentation: Collaborate with your pod to rapidly prototype, launch A/B tests, and make decisions grounded in data.
- Solve from First Principles: Dig into funnel drop-offs, user research, and unit economics to uncover the root causes of friction and prioritize solutions by business impact.
What makes you a great fit
- 7+ years of Product Design experience with a strong portfolio of high-consideration consumer e-commerce, travel/hospitality or marketplace experiences that drove measurable revenue or conversion lift.
- Conversion Without Sacrificing Craft: You understand consumer purchasing psychology and can explain why a high performing page you built works.
- A Builder Skillset: Mastery of visual design, interaction design, responsive design, and web performance paired with a comfort working fast and iterating in real time alongside engineers and PMs.
- A Builder Tech Stack: You are already working in AI workflows and able to implement your prototypes.
- Experimental Rigor: Complete comfort using quantitative data (funnel metrics, A/B testing, product analytics) and qualitative insights to validate hypotheses and design decisions.
- High-Performance Mindset: You are customer-obsessed and embrace a growth mindset.
