Senior Product Designer

About Flash Pack When was the last time you made a new friend? The quality of your relationships is the single most important factor for your mental health. Travel has a unique ability to fast-forward the friendship-making process, which is why we’re on a mission to create one million meaningful friendships using the power of travel and technology as a platform for human connection.

We create curated social adventures for solo travellers in their 30s, 40s and 50s. Since launching in 2014, we’ve seen impressive year-on-year growth and become the category leader in a thriving, rapidly expanding market with the majority of our business now in the US.

We’re well-funded, we’ve shaken up an outdated industry, and we see ourselves as a friendship company far more than a travel company. Our culture is down-to-earth, hard-working and compassionate, built by exceptional people who care deeply about doing work we’re proud of.

The Role At Flash Pack, design isn’t just about UX. It’s about giving Flashpackers the feeling that they’ve just walked into a hotel lobby, that the adventure starts the second they hit the website , not just when they step off the plane.

You’ll work closely with our Co-founder, Head of Product and Engineering team to take ideas from early thinking through to launch and iteration.

You’ll own the end to end design process, helping us solve meaningful customer problems while raising the quality bar across everything we ship. You’ll work within our established brand rather than own it, collaborating closely with colleagues who own imagery and visual craft to create product experiences that feel beautifully executed, premium in every detail, and unmistakably Flash Pack.

This is a hands-on individual contributor role and a rare opportunity to be the only Product Designer in the business . That means you’ll have genuine influence over the product experience without needing to manage people or build a design function.

We’re looking for someone who loves doing the work, simplifying flows like checkout, refining interactions, moving with purposeful momentum and bringing conviction to design decisions. You’ll use research, customer insight and data to inform your decisions, but never at the expense of judgement.

We want someone with exceptional UX, strong instincts for flows, interaction and structure, and a sharp visual eye. Someone who has shipped consumer products people call beautiful and can explain why they work, who knows when a screen feels like Flash Pack and when it feels like a booking engine, and who believes great design is often what customers remember long after they’ve forgotten the feature itself.

In line with our salary framework, the salary for this role is £83,000–£89,500 depending on experience . This is a remote-flexible role. In practice, we come together as a team in London every 6–8 weeks , with the rest of the time spent working remotely from within the UK.

Where You Will Spend Your Time

• Owning end to end design for key initiatives, starting with checkout, trip pages, and presenting new premium stays well
• Making checkout simpler and faster, and raising the bar on interaction quality and conversion
• Partnering closely with Product, Engineering, Data and Marketing to shape solutions
• Using quantitative data and qualitative insight to inform design decisions
• Rapidly iterating in ambiguous, fast moving environments
• Challenging product direction constructively and proposing better alternatives
• Taking initiative to identify problems worth solving, not just responding to briefs

What We’d Love To See From You You’ll bring a portfolio that demonstrates outstanding craft, not just well documented processes. We’d love to see examples of work you’re most proud of, including at least one product you’d call beautiful. We want to understand what you changed, why you made those decisions, and how your design improved the feel of the experience as well as the outcome.

• You’ll be a collaborative team member and know that design doesn’t happen in a bubble
• You will have strong hands on product design experience in a startup or scale up environment
• Exceptional UX, with real depth in flows, interaction and structure
• A strong visual eye….
