With over 50 years of experience, our digital platform, driven by ProcureTech, TravelTech, BPATech and FinTech, reinvents how companies and travelers Stay, Work, and Pay - cohesively brought together by our Lodging as a Service solution.

BUSINESS UNIT

HRS' Product Management department is a critical function in driving the success of the company's Lodging-as-a-Service (LaaS), Meeting-as-a-Service (MaaS) and Workforce-as-a-Service (WaaS) platform offerings. The department collaborates with cross-functional teams to define the product vision, roadmap, and strategy, and prioritizes features using analytics and data to meet business goals and deliver an exceptional experience for stakeholders.

Product Managers at HRS are learning pioneers, continually seeking to improve processes, products, commercial models, technologies, and ways of working. They take ownership of the entire customer experience, seeking truth and committing to decisions once they are made. To succeed in the role, candidates must possess strong business and technical know-how, prioritize tasks accurately, and have excellent communication skills.

POSITION

As a Product Designer for our Travel Tech segment, you are a critical member of the Product Trio, working alongside Product Managers and Engineering Leads to discover, validate, and deliver solutions that address real customer problems. You will be at the forefront of tackling the usability risk - ensuring our products not only work but are intuitive, efficient, and impactful for customers. Through close collaboration, strategic design, and user-driven insights, you will help shape products that deliver measurable value to both users and the business.

CHALLENGE

• Usability Ownership: Focus on eliminating friction points in the user journey, ensuring designs solve real problems and meet user expectations with clarity and ease of use.
• Discovery & Hypothesis Validation: Partner with the two other roles of the Product Trio to identify customer problems, explore potential solutions, and validate hypotheses through user research and rapid prototyping.
• Continous User Research: Plan and execute qualitative and quantitative research activities—such as user interviews, contextual inquiries, workshops, and usability tests—to uncover actionable insights.
• Strategic Design Execution: Translate research findings into interactive prototypes and pixel-perfect designs, ensuring usability and simplicity even for complex workflows.
• Iterative Delivery: Collaborate closely with engineers during implementation, ensuring design quality and consistency throughout the Delivery process.
• Design System Contribution: Enhance and maintain our proprietary Design System to ensure consistency and scalability across all platforms.

Your work will directly shape an intuitive platform for booking workspaces, meeting rooms, and accommodations, improving the experience for business travelers and corporate bookers while seamlessly integrating with third-party applications.

• Several years of experience in product design (B2B/B2C), simplifying complex processes into intuitive, user-friendly interfaces.
• Strong expertise in usability testing and addressing the usability risk through hypothesis-driven design and continuous iteration.
• A collaborative mindset, thriving as part of the Product Trio (PM, Designer, Engineer) to ensure product success.
• Proficiency in design tools and research platforms like Figma, Miro, Dovetail, and User Interviews.
• Experience in user-centered research methods and translating insights into actionable design solutions.
