Staff Designer, Creative Arts​/Media

Amex GBT is a place where colleagues find inspiration in travel as a force for good and — through their work — can make an impact on our industry. We’re here to help our achieve success and offer an inclusive and collaborative culture where your voice is valued.

Our global design team is seeking a Product Designer who has a passion for travel innovation, can transform complexity into clarity, and leads by doing. Product Designers work with feedback from our 8 million users to directly deliver on user needs and our mission of redefining business travel. Designers don’t just create interfaces, they help build and ship sophisticated products that empower millions of business travelers, travel coordinators, and agents.

The Product Design team structure is a blended model. All design belongs to a centralized design team that delivers a globally unified product and brand identity. Designers also belong to pod teams of product management, development, and research, working as one to ship entire lines of business. We like problem solvers with small egos. We value individual vision, and we invest in individual growth.

We work through issues as a team to craft global designs, and we embrace experimentation.
