We are fixing that. Wander.com is the leading marketplace for exceptional vacation homes with best-in-category guest satisfaction. WanderOS takes that same battle-tested engine and puts it in the hands of every property manager on Earth: conversion-optimized direct booking websites, automated guest marketing, and AI-powered distribution to millions of travelers. Operators own their brand, their bookings, and their guests. No middlemen.\nWander is led by a second-time founder and an all-star team from companies like Shopify. We are a Series B company gearing up for Series C, and product velocity has gone vertical: AI agents, payments, new distribution channels, and performance products, all shipping on a cadence most companies would call impossible. We call it Tuesday.\nOur mission is to help people find their happy place. Our vision is to build the infrastructure for people to experience the world. If you want to make a dent in one of the largest industries on the planet, this is the place.\nAbout the role\nWanderOS (wander.com/os) is the operating system for the businesses that run travel, and it is shipping faster than anything in the category. Direct booking websites, guest messaging, pricing, payments, distribution, and the AI agents that are starting to run operations on behalf of property managers all live in one product. The design bar has to keep up with product velocity, and that is where you come in.\nAs the L7 Staff Product Designer you will define design strategy across multiple product pillars of WanderOS, own the most complex systems in the product, and shape how the whole design function works. You will report directly to Wander's CPO and work shoulder to shoulder with Product, Engineering, and the founder. You sweat the details, you zoom between the holistic view and the operator's view continuously, and you deliver beautiful, useful, usable experiences that people run their businesses on.\nThis role is remote across the US or Canada. If you are in Austin or San Francisco, we have offices waiting for you (SF is in the Presidio).\nLevel: L7 Staff Product Designer\nYears of experience set the level. This posting is for L7 Staff:\n10 to 13+ years of product design experience shipping software products.\nYou define strategy across multiple product pillars or complex systems, not just a single surface.\nYou influence organizational design systems: you build them, scale them, and get whole teams to adopt them.\nIf you have 7 to 8+ years and want end-to-end ownership with mentoring, apply to our L6 Senior Product Designer posting instead. Title, scope, and compensation are set by level.\nWho you are\nYou have 10 to 13+ years of product design experience, ideally in B2B SaaS, marketplaces, fintech, or operational tools, with a portfolio that shows strategic judgment, systems thinking, and craft at the pixel level.\nYou have defined design strategy across multiple product areas or complex systems and can show the business outcomes.\nYou have built, scaled, or materially shaped a design system that an organization adopted.\nYou have a deep technical understanding of how your designs get built. Bonus points if you have built something in code: a side project, a prototype, or a product.\nYou have strong command of product strategy and business needs, and a wide range of UX tactics to get to user-centered outcomes.\nYou are a systems thinker. You see how the pieces fit together and how an operator's actions play out over weeks and months, not just one screen.\nYou interpret experiments and quantitative data to inform decisions, and you know when to trust the numbers and when to go talk to an operator.\nYou are a practiced communicator and storyteller who can defend a design rationale to executives, engineers, and founders alike.\nYou lead through ambiguity with influence, not authority, and you have a track record of mentoring designers and raising a team's bar.\nYou are enthusiastic about using AI to change how products are designed and how operators work.\nYou have deep mastery of Figma and modern prototyping tools, and you adopt new tools fast.\nHardcore. You set a high bar, move fast, and ship.\nWhat the job involves\nLead design projects of significant scope, complexity, and responsibility across WanderOS, spanning creative vision, strategy, and execution.\nDefine design direction across multiple product pillars: operator onboarding, calendar and reservations, pricing, guest communication, payments, distribution, and reporting.\nUntangle the most complex systems in the product and turn them into simple, fast, obvious interfaces. Our customers run businesses on this software. Every click counts.\nDefine how AI agents show up inside WanderOS: what they do autonomously, how operators supervise them, and how trust is built and kept.\nOwn the WanderOS design system as a product in its own right: patterns, components, tokens, and governance, so the team can ship consistently at ludicrous speed.\nAnchor and represent design inside cross-functional teams, improve the tools, patterns, and processes the team uses, and optimize for impact, velocity, and quality.\nMentor and guide other designers, run critique, identify skill gaps, and partner with the CPO on how the design function scales.\nTalk to operators constantly. Run research, synthesize it, and bring the insight back into the roadmap.\nPrototype fast, test with real operators, and ship. We would rather learn in a week than debate for a month.\nCare about outcomes, not just outputs: activation, adoption, retention, and revenue.\nBonus points\nExperience designing AI-powered products or agentic workflows for business users.\nBackground in travel, hospitality, vacation rentals, property management, or other operational SaaS.\nExperience with data-heavy interfaces: dashboards, pricing tools, calendars, or financial products.\nMobile-first design chops and strong knowledge of native app and mobile web patterns.\nCompensation and benefits\nBase salary: $210,000 to $260,000 USD. This is Series B startup market rate for the L7 Staff level, with placement in the range based on experience and location. Canadian offers are calibrated to local market rates.\nMeaningful equity. You will own a piece of what you build.\nHealth, dental, and vision coverage.\nRemote-first across the US and Canada, with offices in Austin, TX and San Francisco (Presidio) if you want a desk.\nApplication process\nOnly applicants who include a design portfolio with their application will be considered. Show us the work.\nJoin us\nYou could spend the next few years moving pixels at a company that ships twice a year. Or you could define the design strategy for the operating system of a $4 trillion industry, at a company that ships every week.
