About the Company
Lodgify is a fast-growing scale-up company leading the vacation rental industry. Backed by $30M in funding, our platform empowers property owners and managers worldwide to efficiently manage and grow their business through technology.
Headquartered in sunny Barcelona, we're now a team of 380+ people representing over 60 nationalities, united by a passion for transforming the future of short-term rentals.
The Role
We're rebuilding Lodgify for an AI-native era. That means reimagining the core workflows tens of thousands of property managers rely on every day, not as a cosmetic refresh, but from the ground up.
We have a talented design team, and we're looking for a Principal Designer to lead the strategic layer between our product bets and the experience direction that should drive them. This role owns that layer.
Responsibilities
- Own experience strategy. Translate product bets into a clear experience direction before they become roadmap items or tickets. Define what we're building and what we're saying no to.
- Lead our AI transformation. Reimagine our product as AI-native. Not by adding AI widgets to existing screens, but by rethinking the mental models, workflows, and interaction patterns from the ground up.
- Drive cross-product coherence. Be the connective tissue across domain teams so that the product feels like one experience, not five built in parallel.
- Elevate the design team. Raise the bar by doing this. In crits, co-creation sessions, and how you approach problems.
Requirements
- 10+ years of experience designing complex, workflow-heavy B2B SaaS products at a principal or head of design level.
- You think in systems. You see the business logic and technical decisions behind a broken workflow, and you know how to influence both.
- Obsessed with value creation, not just craft. You want to understand the northstar metric, design the experiment, and watch the number move.
- You challenge with care. You bring data and conviction to hard conversations with PMs and engineers, and you do it in a way that moves things forward, not sideways.
- Genuinely excited about AI as a design material, with a clear-eyed view of where it adds value and where it creates noise.
- You communicate design decisions in business terms. Stakeholders leave your presentations clear on what you're doing and why.
