Job description

With millions of diners, 60,000+ restaurant partners and 25+ years of experience, OpenTable, part of Booking Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: BKNG), is an industry leader with a passion for helping restaurants thrive. Our world-class technology empowers restaurants to focus on what matters most - their team, their guests, and their bottom line - while enabling diners to discover and book the perfect restaurant for every occasion.
Every employee at OpenTable has a tangible impact on what we do and how we do it. You'll also be part of a global team and its portfolio of metasearch brands. Hospitality is all about taking care of others, and it defines our culture.
We're looking for a Director of Product Design to lead design across our Diner Platform teams. This is a senior leadership role with great scope: you'll manage a global team of 9 (with 2 direct reports), and work in close partnership with Product, Engineering, Research, Data Science, Design Systems, and Brand to deliver experiences that meaningfully move the needle for restaurants and diners worldwide.
You'll be a key voice within our UX leadership team - shaping how we work, raising the quality bar, creating space for innovation, and investing in the growth of your team. This role reports directly to the Vice President of Product Design & Research.
What you'll do
  • Lead and grow a high-performing design team - manage, mentor, and develop designers and design managers, helping them do their best work and advance their careers
  • Set and drive design quality - own the standard for what great looks like across your product area, from early concept through shipping
  • Partner cross-functionally - collaborate with Product, Engineering, and Research to align on direction, build consensus, and deliver outcomes that serve users and the business
  • Create and communicate vision - define a compelling design direction for your teams and make it legible to stakeholders through clear storytelling and strong presentations
  • Improve how we work - identify friction in our processes and actively partner with UX and product development leadership to fix it
  • Use data to drive decisions - bring a rigorous, evidence-informed approach to design choices at every level

What we need
  • Design craft and leadership: Hands-on product design experience with a strong portfolio demonstrating impact at scale. Deep expertise in both native apps and web experiences - you understand the nuances of each platform. Exceptional visual design skills and strong systems thinking.
  • Strategic and communication skills: Skilled at stakeholder management and building alignment across multiple teams and levels. A strong storyteller - you can develop and deliver compelling presentations to executive audiences. A critical thinker who can hold their own in a debate while remaining open, curious, and kind. Experience in B2B design or other complex, ambiguous product spaces.
  • People leadership: A proven track record of growing designers and design managers - you know how to motivate people, unlock their potential, and support their career goals. Collaborative by nature; you give and receive feedback well and build trust across disciplines.
  • Growth mindset: Data-driven and intellectually honest. Committed to continuous improvement - for yourself, your team, and our products.

Bonus points
  • Experience in or genuine passion for the restaurant industry and food culture
  • Experience designing dual-sided or marketplace products
Benefits and Perks
  • Work from (almost) anywhere for up to 20 days per year
  • Focus on mental health and well-being:
    • Company-paid therapy sessions through SpringHealth
    • Company-paid subscription to Headspace
    • Annual company-wide week off a year - the whole team fully recharges (and returns without a pile-up of work!)
  • Paid parental leave
  • Generous paid vacation + time off for your birthday
  • Paid volunteer time
  • Focus on your career growth:
    • Development Dollars
    • Leadership development
    • Access to thousands of on-demand e-learnings
  • Travel Discounts
  • Employee Resource Groups
  • Free lunch 2 days per week
  • Convenient downtown SF office location close to the Montgomery MUNI and BART stations.
  • Building amenities, such as a gym, dog policy, & bike parking

Note for MA applicants: It is unlawful in Massachusetts to require or administer a lie detector test as a condition of employment or continued employment. An employer who violates this law shall be subject to criminal penalties and civil liability.
There are a variety of factors that go into determining a salary range, including but not limited to external market benchmark data, geographic location, and years of experience sought/required. The range for this United States based role is $220,000-$275,000.
We offer a competitive base salary and benefits including: health benefits; flexible spending account; retirement benefits; life insurance; paid time off (including PTO, paid sick leave, medical leave, bereavement leave, floating holidays and paid holidays); and parental leave benefits. This role is eligible to be considered for an annual bonus and equity grant.
Work Environment & Flexibility
At OpenTable, we pride ourselves on fostering a global and dynamic work environment. As a team member with us, you will benefit from a schedule tailored to accommodate a global workforce operating across multiple time zones. While the majority of your responsibilities may align with conventional business hours, there will be instances where you are expected to manage communications - via calls, Slack messages, or emails - outside of regular working hours to effectively collaborate with international colleagues, respond to restaurant partners, and/or address urgent matters. OpenTable will always abide by and consider local laws and regulations.
Inclusion
We're committed to creating a workplace where everyone feels they belong and can thrive. We know the best ideas come when we bring different voices to the table, so we're building a team as dynamic as the diners and restaurants we serve-and fostering a culture where everyone feels welcome to be themselves.
If you need accommodations during the application or interview process, or on the job, we're here to support you. Please reach out to your recruiter to request any accommodations.
