Sonder

Full TimeUI/UX Design
Posted 2 years ago

With thousands of beautiful spaces built for travel and living, Sonder is transforming the future of hospitality. Each Sonder is purposefully selected, designed and maintained - customized to reflect the vibe of its neighborhood. Whether your stay is two days, two months or two years, in a studio or a six-bedroom, Sonder ensures a unique, yet consistent experience. And with 24/7 contactless service, professional cleanings that exceed CDC recommendations, and over 200 other quality standards, we’re taking stay further for guests all around the world.


Sonder started in 2014, and now has thousands of spaces in cities across the globe.


The Design and Experience group at Sonder are responsible for the strategy and design execution of all elements of a branded guest and staff experience—from the physical (IRL collateral) to the digital (web and app), and inclusive of brand identity and marketing collateral.


A Sonder design contributor must…


  • be passionate about people-shaped products (obsessive over ensuring every decision is in service of its user);
  • balance attitude and aptitude (no room for egos); 
  • be a T-shaped contributor (expert in something, curious about everything);
  • embrace diversity (Democratizing travel demands designing with and for the many, not the few); 
  • be comfortable being uncomfortable (making meaningful progress is usually messy and nonlinear; embrace the ambiguity).


The Product/UX design team (within the Design and Experience group) focuses on designing digital products that shape our guest experiences as they plan, book, arrive and stay in their Sonder. Across our various users (guests, housekeepers, hospitality agents, and more) we advocate to be human-centered, ensuring their needs and behaviors drive key decision making.
