In this role, you will:

• Lead the strategy and development of Expedia Group’s design system, including components, patterns, and visual assets used across web and mobile platforms and intuitive tooling for designers and engineers.

• Champion accessibility across all traveler-facing experiences, ensuring compliance with global standards (e.g., WCAG, EU regulations) and embedding inclusive design from the start.

• Collaborate with product, design, engineering, and brand teams to ensure the system supports both consistency and creative flexibility across multiple brands and their unique visual identities.

• Influence and drive change across a wide program of work, embedding accessibility into the product development lifecycle and elevating standards across the organization.

• Partner with teams working on high-impact traveler experiences (e.g., home, shopping, checkout) to ensure the design system supports modern, performant, and inclusive user journeys.

• Act as a thought leader in accessibility and inclusive design, mentoring teams and advocating for travelers with diverse needs, including those with visual impairments or other accessibility requirements.

Experience and qualifications:

• You have 12+ years of product management experience, with a strong focus on consumer-facing platforms or design systems.

• You bring deep knowledge of accessibility standards and regulations (e.g., WCAG 2.1+, ARIA, ADA, EU accessibility laws) and know how to apply them effectively in digital product development.

• You’ve led cross-functional initiatives and know how to influence without authority across design, engineering, and brand teams.

• You think in systems and can balance consistency, scalability, and brand differentiation in complex environments.

• You’ve worked with or led design systems at scale, ideally supporting multiple brands or platforms.

• You’re passionate about inclusive design and have a track record of advocating for underserved or underrepresented users.
