Overview
Beyond powers the business of short-term rentals with a best-in-class Revenue Management System used by thousands of property managers and owners around the world. We're profitable, growing fast, and building with the latest technologies—including AI—to help our customers unlock more revenue with less effort. Behind our product is a global team of 180+ Beyonders who bring curiosity, craft, and care to everything we do. We believe people are the most important part of any business, starting with ours.
It's with that in mind that Beyond is looking to add a Director of Design to lead and scale the design function across both product and marketing. This is a hands-on leadership role—equal parts strategic thinker, craftsperson, and team builder. You'll report to the VP of Product and work closely with engineering, product, and marketing to deliver elegant, high-performing experiences that drive growth and retention.
As we focus on our product-led growth strategy, we are doubling down on design-driven simplicity. We need a design leader who can evolve our systems, elevate our craft, and leverage the rapidly changing design tools available to ensure that every interaction, from first touch to long-term retention, reinforces our value.
