Team mission

Come join our Comparison team as our Lead Product Designer! The Comparison team is a new strategic area of the business focused on our category verticals of our activities, like adventure tours or shows and events. This team will explore deepening our understanding of specific categories, distinct UX formats they need, and how we can best merchandise key information to our travelers. This will include how travelers make key decisions through social proof, developing proprietary data models, and all of the options available for the activities.
