About the job

As a Senior UX Designer, you’ll help translate guest insights, business opportunities, and system constraints into clear experience direction. You’ll collaborate with cross-functional partners to identify pain points, map journeys and services, and align teams around human-centered solutions.

This role blends strong design craft with systems thinking—supporting more senior team members in framing and delivering connected guest experiences that scale across channels.

Responsibilities:

• Contribute to UX strategy and vision for multi-touchpoint guest experiences

• Create service design artifacts such as journey maps, blueprints, and storyboards to align teams and identify opportunities

• Collaborate with product, engineering, marketing, and store operations partners to align on experience outcomes

• Participate in design sprints and co-creation sessions to explore, prototype, and refine new concepts

• Deliver design work across phases—from early journey concepts to mid-fidelity flows and wireframes

• Apply both qualitative and quantitative data to understand guest needs and prioritize opportunities

• Hold your work to a high standard of craft—considering accessibility, interaction patterns, information architecture, and brand alignment

• Contribute to a culture of curiosity, experimentation, and guest-first thinking within your immediate team

About you:

• 4+ years of experience in UX, with a portfolio demonstrating strong design thinking and systems awareness

• Proficiency in service design methods (e.g., journey mapping, ecosystem modeling, service blueprinting)

• Experience working within cross-functional teams and navigating complexity

• Comfortable structuring your work, managing your time, and delivering high-quality design independently

• Skilled in modern design and prototyping tools (e.g., Figma)

• Able to use guest insights and business data to guide your design decisions

• Strong communication skills—you explain your work clearly, and collaborate effectively with non-design stakeholders

• You ask thoughtful questions, lean into ambiguity, and care about designing inclusive, scalable experiences

• You bring a growth mindset and a desire to learn, evolve, and make things better—for guests, teams, and the business

Portfolio guidance:

Please include a portfolio that showcases:

• End-to-end design work (ideation through to implementation)

• Journey or service design artifacts (journey maps, experience models, blueprints)

• Clear rationale for your decisions and examples of your impact on the experience or business
