Product Designer (UX/UI)

SEARADAR is building an international yacht marketplace powered by advanced internal automation from integrations with dozens of data sources to intelligent offer matching for clients.
We operate at the intersection of travel and technology, automating routine processes and making yacht chartering simple, seamless, and inspiring for customers worldwide.

We are launching a new strategic direction: fully online booking. Today, our funnel works through a concierge model — leads come in, a sales manager consults, and the booking happens manually. Our goal is to build a self-service booking experience where the customer can search, compare, and pay online — reducing sales involvement and scaling the business.

We are looking for a Product Designer who can own the full design cycle: from research and discovery to wireframes and high-fidelity UI. You will be the first dedicated design hire for this product line, working directly with the Head of Marketing (product owner) and the dev team (frontend, backend, QA).

This is not a “make it pretty” role. Your job is to figure out how to replace a human sales manager with an interface that converts. You need to understand why users drop off, design solutions, test them, and iterate.

What You Will Do

• Conduct a UX audit of the current booking flow and competitor analysis (Click&Boat, Zizoo, GetMyBoat, Tubber)

• Map current and target Customer Journey Maps for the booking funnel

• Run short interviews with clients and/or sales managers to uncover pain points

• Design wireframes and prototypes for key screens: search, yacht card, comparison, checkout, payment

• Create high-fidelity UI, design system components, and responsive (mobile-first) layouts

• Work with analytics (PostHog) to form hypotheses and design A/B test variants

• Prepare specs and assets for handoff to frontend development

Must-Have

• 3+ years of product design experience, ideally in e-commerce, marketplace, or travel/booking

• Proven ability to do both UX research (audits, CJMs, user interviews) AND UI design (hi-fi, design systems)

• Strong portfolio showing conversion-focused design (not just visual concepts)

• Figma proficiency (prototyping, components, auto-layout, dev handoff)

• Ability to work autonomously — you will get goals and context, not pixel-level specs

• Fluent English (working language), and Russian 

Nice-to-Have

• Experience with analytics tools (PostHog, Hotjar, Google Analytics) and data-informed design

• A/B testing experience

• Familiarity with travel/charter/booking industry

• Basic understanding of HTML/CSS (for realistic design decisions)
