Senior Product Designer – Checkout Platform

At Expedia Group, our mission is to power global travel for everyone, everywhere. Within Experience Design (XD), we bring together product design, content design, and research to craft thoughtful, human-centered experiences that connect people to the moments that matter.

About The Role

We’re seeking a Senior Product Designer to help shape the future of Checkout Platform experiences across Expedia Group brands. This space sits at the heart of the booking journey — spanning how travelers review trip details, enter traveler and payment information, understand pricing and policies, resolve friction, and complete bookings with confidence.

This role operates across a complex, high-impact platform area that supports multiple brands, product lines, and checkout stacks. You’ll design experiences that help make checkout more informative, secure, easy to use, and highly performant while minimizing friction in the path to purchase. You’ll also help connect customer needs to platform capabilities, operational excellence, and scalable systems that improve both traveler experience and business outcomes.

You’ll work within a defined product area, partnering closely with product managers, researchers, engineers, and fellow designers to deliver intuitive, high-quality customer experiences.

You’re a strong design practitioner who thrives in complex problem spaces, connects customer needs to business outcomes, and consistently delivers polished, thoughtful solutions. You’re also growing your influence — contributing to design strategy, mentoring others, and helping elevate the craft across the team.

• Contribute to the Checkout Platform experience strategy, applying systems thinking to connect your work to broader traveler journeys, platform capabilities, design systems, and operational goals.

• Design experiences that reduce friction and increase traveler confidence across key checkout moments such as booking forms, pricing clarity, payment selection, policy communication, and error recovery.

• Help create scalable experiences that work across brands, platforms, and evolving checkout architectures, balancing immediate customer needs with longer-term platform excellence.

• Partner closely with teams focused on conversion, performance, availability, and technical quality to ensure design solutions support both customer experience and operational excellence.

• Facilitate design workshops and critiques, communicate design rationale clearly and persuasively to diverse stakeholders, and provide constructive feedback and informal mentorship to elevate the craft of the team.

• Champion accessibility and inclusive design principles across Checkout Platform experiences, ensuring equitable access for a diverse global audience.

• Build familiarity with AI-driven systems, tools, or workflows, and explore how contextual signals, personalization, and intelligent assistance can improve the checkout experience.
