About Snowgroup

snowgroup.ca

Snowgroup is building the first full-stack digital ecosystem for winter sports travel — powering how 150M skiers and snowboarders plan, book, and experience the mountains.

Our platform brings together:

• Reservewinter — a multi-mountain travel marketplace for passes, rentals, lodging
• Snowclub — a social commerce hub for group travel, resale, and local vendors
• Snowbus — our transportation wedge that powers group trips and funnel growth

We’ve already seen $2M in organic traction and are now preparing for a high-growth season with a live raise, product relaunch, and vendor expansion across multiple mountains. We’re looking for a UI/UX designer to help us create a seamless, compelling, and community-driven travel experience.

The Role

We’re designing the next generation of ski travel — part booking engine, part social network, part loyalty platform. This is a hands-on UI/UX role for a designer who can bring clarity, flow, and delight to complex multi-stakeholder products.

You’ll work directly with the founder, product lead, and engineering team to shape key user journeys and interfaces across mobile and desktop. Expect to work on vendor booking flows, trip planning tools, user profiles, group travel UX, resale checkout, and more.

What You’ll Do

• Lead end-to-end UX design for marketplace and community features
• Define intuitive booking, browsing, and trip coordination flows
• Design UI components and responsive layouts in Figma
• Collaborate with product engineering on handoff and iteration
• Prototype and test social features, loyalty mechanics, and user accounts
• Contribute to the development of our design system and mobile-first UI kit

What We’re Looking For

• 3–6 years of UI/UX design experience — ideally with marketplaces, travel tech, or social platforms
• Deep understanding of user flows, wireframing, and modern UX best practices
• Strong Figma skills — ideally building out design systems and component libraries
• Able to balance speed with quality in a startup environment
• Bonus: experience with e-commerce, community features, or map-based interfaces
• Bonus: personal interest in skiing, group travel, or outdoor adventures

Engagement Details

• 4–8 week paid pilot (part-time or flexible hours)
• Deferred compensation, with potential equity or bonus post-raise
• Remote and async-friendly — work across time zones
• Collaborate closely with founder product team
• Start date: ASAP (mid–late September ideal)
