Job description

smartdept. is searching for a Digital Product Designer for a travel and hospitality industry client. The ideal candidate will come with 4+ years of experience. This is a project-based, fully remote, ongoing contract opportunity with the possibility of extension.
This team operates within a highly technical digital product framework, supporting approximately 40 accounts with work spanning full website builds, feature updates, and new AI product design. The Digital Product Designer will collaborate closely with a small, senior-level UI/UX team and work within a structured design system built for seamless engineering handoff.
What You'll Do:
  • Design across multiple viewports (mobile-first through desktop) within an established Figma design system
  • Prepare and deliver developer-ready files including technical specs, developer annotations, and content annotations
  • Contribute to UX consulting work including heuristics evaluations and journey mapping
  • Ensure designs meet digital best practices: accessibility standards, mobile scaling, touch targets, and responsive layout logic
  • Collaborate with the internal team to diagnose product problems and present data-informed solutions to clients
  • Hand off structured, well-documented files to engineering teams

What You'll Need:
  • Education/Experience:
    • Bachelor's degree in Design, HCI, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience
    • 4+ years of experience in digital product design or UX/UI design
  • Strong proficiency in Figma, including design systems, components, and multi-viewport layouts
  • Demonstrated experience with engineering handoff - technical specs, annotations, and responsive design documentation
  • Solid understanding of digital best practices: mobile-first design, accessibility checks, web-safe fonts, and email design constraints
  • Analytical mindset with the ability to interpret product data and communicate design rationale clearly to non-design stakeholders

Nice-to-Have Skills:
  • Experience with interactive prototyping tools (e.g., Make, Figma advanced prototyping, or Figma-to-code connections)
  • Familiarity with current digital trends including AI product design and evolving design system standards
  • Background in travel, hospitality, or agency environments supporting multiple client accounts
