About Us

We're TravelPerk, a hyper-growth SaaS platform offering companies a one-stop-shop for booking, managing and reporting business travel.

We've revolutionized the business travel market by offering an unrivaled selection of travel options, a powerful booking and management platform, and 24/7 customer support. It's why we've become the leading all-in-one travel management solution.

Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Barcelona, we’ve grown to over 1200 people in 9 offices across Europe and North America. In 2022 we became a ‘unicorn’ and in 2024 we raised $104 million in additional investment, with a total valuation of $1.4 billion.

We’ve been winning awards too. Since 2023, we’ve been voted one of the best places to work, one of the fastest-growing apps and tech companies, and a leading pioneer of business travel.

These are just some of the reasons why global brands like Wise, Red Bull, GetYourGuide, and Aesop trust us to supercharge their corporate travel. 

We are looking for a Principal Product Designer that will lead strategic initiatives that impact on the customer experience and be expected to influence design across different teams as needed, inspiring and coaching designers along the way through craft leadership. Part of the role will also see you improving team processes and expanding the culture by bringing in best practices around design processes and delivery. This role will report to the Senior Product Design Manager as a core member of the Design team, and will help to shape the team direction.

• Proactively improve our design standards, documentation, and processes alongside your team members to further our design practice

What you’ll need:

• Strong experience in designing complex systems
• Passionate energy for great design and amplifying our team culture
• Experience working in high-growth product companies with an international footprint

Why you'll love our team:

• Working in the Product Design team will ensure high-quality design, strategic impact in the product and next-level GIFs 😎
• In the Product Design team, you will find a strong culture of ownership, impact-over-effort and lending support to each other, there are no egos and transparency is highly valued.
• We are an heterogeneous team with multiple nationalities and backgrounds, pushing for getting better, having fun and always asking why (of course).
• In the next 12 months, we have the challenge to grow our team to almost double its current size, supporting every squad while also scaling our Content and Research functions.
