Principal Product Designer

We’re On the Beach! Since 2003, we've been rewriting the rules of how people discover, book, and experience their perfect getaway. What started as connecting people to short-haul beach holidays has evolved into something much bigger - premium beach destinations, long-haul adventures, and vibrant city breaks – and that’s just the beginning of our story.

We send around two million holidaymakers on their dream breaks every year. And we're still growing.

Powered by our deep-rooted entrepreneurial spirit, proprietary tech, curiosity and our incredible people, we’re accelerating - delivering best in class technology, the ultimate holiday app, and experiences that keep our customers coming back for more.

Being a Principal here means leading the end-to-end experience, across all touch points, not just a slice of it. You'll work with every function involved: research, product, data, CRM, brand, marketing, customer operations and more.

You earn this level of influence by operating at a senior strategic level, which means understanding the commercials as deeply as anyone in the room, and pulling commercial data, product insight, research and strategy into clear, sized opportunities.

Three things make that possible here:

• The evidence is already at your fingertips: all our commercial and product data is self-serve via LLM. Pull whatever you want, whenever. No backlog, no gatekeeper.

• We're low ego and low bureaucracy, with no fiefdoms to fight through. Ideas succeed on the strength of the case, not who's making them.

• Our teams aren't fixed to one slice of the experience. We form the right team for each opportunity.

With that, you'll set trajectory alongside our leadership team, then take the work right down to production. You'll create ambitious experience visions, raise our design standards, craft elegant experiences, and be measured on impact.

• Partner with the people who own our customer outcomes, grounded in a real understanding of the unit economics

• Build a deep picture from data, customer insight and the wider market, and use it to spot the opportunities worth chasing

• Hold the end-to-end view: how the parts add up to one coherent experience, and where the next step change comes from

• Align teams and departments, and coach the designers around you

• Work in small, agile teams who move fast from idea to live experiment

• Design to a high bar that strengthens our design system

You’ll report to the Director of Product Design. There may be some people management depending on how the team evolves, but it's secondary: seniority here is about owning the hardest problems, not the size of your team.

We gather at our Aeroworks office in Manchester City Centre just one day every two weeks.

Standard hours are 37.5/week with core hours between 10am–4pm.

Enhanced maternity, paternity, adoption, and shared parental leave...
