You believe UX is more than a step in the process, it’s the foundation of a great product.

You value data, but design for people; listen, iterate, and test before perfecting; care deeply about consistency, accessibility, and impact.

You know that exceptional user experiences aren’t just designed, they’re felt. And if this sounds like you, we’d love to chat.

This ensures that every project is customer-centric and aligned with our mission to make travellers’ dreams come true. By collaborating closely with our travel experts, we craft engaging, results-driven marketing that inspires and connects with our audience.

Our team culture is friendly, supportive, and professional—we value creativity, collaboration, and personal growth. Based in the northern suburbs of Cape Town, you might even enjoy a smoother commute, traveling against peak traffic.

Your purpose

As our UX Designer, you’ll play a critical role in shaping digital experiences that connect users to our brands, products, and services. You’ll drive and influence UX strategy, research, and optimisation, ensuring that every user journey is intuitive, engaging, and conversion-driven.

This is a UX-first role, with UI execution as a supporting function. You will:

• Lead user research, usability testing, and data-driven UX optimisations to enhance customer journeys.
• Develop wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity UI designs that align with brand and CRO goals.
• Utilise data-driven CRO testing to improve customer journeys and maximise lead generation.
• Own the development of a holistic design system and component library to ensure a premium, scalable digital experience.
  
  

Your Core Responsibilities

UX Design and Strategy:

• Design and implement intuitive, user-centric website interfaces that align with brand identity.
• Collaborate with the Brand & Content Lead to develop a UX strategy that reflects high-end, luxury storytelling while maintaining functionality.
• Work closely with the Tech team to ensure UI/UX changes are feasible within development constraints.
  
  

Conversion Rate Optimisation (CRO) & A/B Testing

• Conduct A/B testing and usability testing to drive website engagement and increase conversion rates.
• Utilise tools like Hotjar, Google Analytics, Optimizely, VWO to identify pain points and optimise user journeys.
• Apply data-driven insights to iterate on designs for continuous performance improvements.
  
  

️ Wireframing & Prototyping

• Develop wireframes, prototypes, and user flows to support UX enhancements, collaborating with cross-functional teams.
• Focus on conversion optimisation in every design decision to maximise user engagement.

• Ensure adherence to UX/UI best practices with a focus on accessibility, mobile responsiveness, and performance.
• Conduct usability testing with tools like Hotjar, Useberry, and Userbrain, iterating based on feedback.
• Stay up-to-date with UX trends and best practices to enhance usability and customer satisfaction.
  
  

️ UI Design And Digital Experience

• Create high-fidelity UI designs for web, digital content, and marketing materials, ensuring brand consistency.
