About the Role

Boats Group operates the world's largest boating marketplaces, including Yacht World, , and Boat Trader. Our mission is to get the world on the water and that includes building best-in-class mobile experiences that connect buyers and sellers wherever they are.

We're looking for a Senior Product Designer with strong mobile app experience to shape the future of our iOS and Android experiences. This role is ideal for a designer who understands mobile behaviors deeply, thinks in systems, and can craft intuitive, high-performance app experiences that balance usability, speed, and business impact.

You'll partner closely with Product, Engineering, Data, and Design leadership to create engaging mobile-first journeys - from search and discovery to lead generation, saved experiences, notifications, and account management.

What You'll Do

• Own end-to-end design for major mobile initiatives from discovery and concepting through delivery and iteration.
• Design intuitive, high-quality native app experiences across iOS and Android.
• Lead mobile-first thinking while ensuring cohesion across web and app ecosystems.
• Craft seamless user journeys across search, listing detail pages, saved boats, alerts, messaging, and account systems.
• Design for real-world mobile constraints: variable connectivity, performance optimization, gesture-based interactions, and responsive layouts.
• Translate product strategy and customer insights into elegant, scalable mobile solutions.
• Drive clarity in ambiguous problem spaces and partner with Product to define scope and MVPs.
• Create high-fidelity prototypes that accurately reflect motion, transitions, and micro-interactions.
• Partner closely with Engineering to ensure pixel-perfect implementation and thoughtful technical trade-offs.
• Contribute to and evolve our design system to support scalable mobile components and patterns.
• Use research, analytics, and usability testing to inform and validate design decisions.
• Raise the bar for craft through strong visual execution, interaction design, and attention to mobile usability standards.

What You'll Need

• 3-5+ years of experience in Product Design, with significant experience designing native mobile apps.
• Proven experience designing and shipping consumer-facing iOS and Android applications.
• Strong understanding of Apple Human Interface Guidelines and Google Material Design principles.
• Experience designing gesture-based interactions, transitions, and motion systems.
• Excellent UX skills with the ability to simplify complex flows into intuitive mobile experiences.
• Strong visual design skills including hierarchy, typography, layout, spacing, and state management.
• Proficiency in Figma, including shared libraries, components, and scalable systems.
• Experience collaborating closely with mobile engineers and understanding platform constraints.
• Comfort working in evolving environments where you help shape direction, not just execute against it.
• Strong communication skills: able to clearly articulate design rationale to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• A collaborative, proactive mindset with a strong sense of ownership.
• Proficiency using AI tools to augment design workflows for rapid prototyping, research synthesis, content generation, or improving speed and iteration quality.
