Job Description

Product Designer
WhereTo (now a Flight Centre company) is looking for a Product Designer to join our growing product team as we tackle some of those most interesting problems in business travel.
We’re a nimble, startup-minded team within the larger company focused on building the next-generation business travel platform that serves two of Flight Centre’s main businesses: SMB travel handled by Corporate Traveler and Enterprise travel handled by FCM.
Having our own autonomy and culture, we’re able to take more risks and push code out faster like a startup, but with the resources of a 30+ year old publicly traded company that has considerable cash flow.
If you want to be part of a startup-minded team that has the guidance and resources of a large corporation, where you can learn, take on big projects, and grow your craft, then this is the place for you.
