Product Designer (UX/UI)

About Searadar

Searadar is a European yacht charter marketplace that helps sailors find and book sailing yachts and catamarans across 20+ destinations. We are a team of 30+ people working remotely from 10+ countries. TrustPilot 4.9/5, 70%+ repeat clients.

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.

The Role

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.

Tasks

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

Requirements

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)

Benefits

What We Offer

• Fully remote work from anywhere in the world.
• Flexible working hours aligned with team processes.
• An international team building a product for the global market.
• Compensation tied to EUR, discussed individually.
• Team offsite events, including an annual yacht regatta.
• Clear communication, minimal bureaucracy, and a collaborative international environment
• The opportunity to shape financial processes and reporting — not by rigid templates, but in a way that is truly efficient and practical.
