Job Description

As the Head of Design, you will revolutionize our product suite; moving from taking direction in a waterfall approach to driving an agile human centered approach to product development.  We want better informed flight shoppers to make better decisions; instead of a race to the lowest price.  You will reduce workflows in complex, global legacy systems to make people’s jobs easier.  ATPCO drives industry standards and product development is led by an ex-designer who believes UX is an integral driver of the modernization and transformation of our product suite.  You will bring the client perspective to the forefront of our business and utilize data from disparate sources into consumable and measurable insights.

The Product Division is a collection of subject matter experts, engineers, product designers, leaders, and others committed to building and improving the data infrastructure that powers flight shopping. Our mission is to create superior products through the cultivation of lean high performing teams. We operate in flat, small collaborative teams, each fully dedicated and accountable to the success of their product. Our teams are empowered to make decisions that they feel will help them achieve the outcomes. We believe that experimentation with unexpected results yield valuable learning, not failure. We strive to embrace complexity, create simple solutions.

ATPCO is the foundation of flight shopping, providing pricing and retailing data, tools, and services to 500+ airlines, global distribution systems, sales channels, and technology companies. ATPCO links the entire airline community together, collaborating to develop industry standards for airline distribution and end-to-end technology solutions. From shopping to settlement, ATPCO solutions work seamlessly across existing, new, and evolving technologies and methods. Airline-owned and reliably supporting air travel for more than 55 years, ATPCO is everywhere people buy flights.

The Ideal Candidate:

• Has led design teams through the product lifecycle
• Has time tested experience transforming products
• Has experience changing the software development culture
• Able to clearly communicate a strategic vision to a variety of audiences
• Able to make strategic decisions and inspire others to act upon them
