What you’ll drive:

  • System Architecture & Tokens

Build and maintain components, widgets, and primitives in Figma using advanced variants, properties, auto layout, and constraints.

Own the variable and token architecture across primitive, semantic, and component layers, including multi-brand theme modes.

Audit the library regularly to manage versioning, plan deprecations, and systematically reduce design debt.

  • Developer Alignment & Implementation

Partner with front-end developers during implementation, reviewing built components to ensure code accurately matches Figma designs.

Align component properties, states, and naming conventions directly between Figma libraries and front-end code (e.g., Storybook).

Define and document design patterns, usage guidelines, and responsive behavior rules to ensure seamless multi-breakpoint execution.

  • Adoption, Enablement & Operations

Support product and graphic designers in adopting the system through onboarding, usage reviews, and component gap analysis.

Establish clear processes for collecting system requests, evaluating new pattern proposals, and resolving library friction.

Communicate the reasoning behind system decisions transparently, keeping all internal stakeholders aligned around core standards.

  • Product Design & Research

Design end-to-end features, flows, wireframes, and interactive prototypes to solve real product problems and keep the system grounded.

Validate design hypotheses alongside UX Researchers and Product Managers using usability tests, interviews, and user feedback.

Enforce WCAG AA accessibility fundamentals (contrast, focus states, keyboard navigation, hit areas) across all digital platforms.
