About The Opportunity

WhereTo (now a Flight Centre company) is looking for a Product Designer to join our growing product team as we tackle some of those most interesting problems in business travel.

We\'re a nimble, startup-minded team within the larger company focused on building the next-generation business travel platform that serves two of Flight Centre\'s main businesses: SMB travel handled by Corporate Traveler and Enterprise travel handled by FCM.
