The Opportunity
We’re looking for a Lead Product Designer to join our consumer product design team. This individual will work closely with a global team of product managers, product & brand designers, engineers, and data scientists to craft experiences that will impact diners and restaurants worldwide!
The Lead Product Designer is an influential design partner embedded in our Content team, where they will not only own key parts of OpenTable's diner-facing experiences that receive millions of visits every single day, but will also have an impact on the quality of the content that powers those experiences.

This is an opportunity to create, evolve, and develop new experiences for diners while balancing the needs of our users, restaurants, and the business as well as confidently navigate the full range of a product designer’s work; from strategy and research to high-fidelity designs. On some days the Lead Product Designer will rapidly sketch ideas and launch experiments as A/B tests, and on other days they will craft a project vision or team up for long-term success.
