In this role, you’ll be responsible for elevating our UX and UI—applying best practices and data-driven insights to ensure every design decision enhances usability and clarity, whilst delivering a brand experience and aligning to business objectives.
You’ll take ownership of our marketing website, sitting within the marketing brand design team, and play a key role in shaping how our brand comes to life online.

- Ensure pixel-perfect implementation of UI components, adhering to design guidelines and brand consistency
- Build a partnership with the developer to ensure design translates perfectly into code
Requirements:

- A knack for balancing brand and creativity with practical UI/UX needs
- A systematic mindset, understanding that each component and micro-interaction contributes to a seamless, cohesive user experience

How we work
Our Vision is for a world where TravelPerk is the platform for human connection in real life (IRL). We take an IRL-first approach to work, where our team works together in person 3 days a week. For roles in Customer Care, this can be up to 5 days per week in the office. As such, this role requires you to be within commuting distance of our hubs. We fundamentally believe in meeting in real life to improve connectivity, productivity, and creativity, ultimately making us a great workplace.
At TravelPerk, we prioritize experience and potential over academic qualifications for this role. We believe that talent and ability aren't always reflected in formal credentials.
TravelPerk is a global company with a diverse customer base—and we want to ensure that the people behind our product reflect that. We're an equal opportunity employer, meaning you're welcome at TravelPerk regardless of your appearance, where you're from, or anything else that makes you.
