• Help determine when new patterns are needed or redirect product teams if an existing pattern is preferred.
• Establish a system of design tokens and drive their use to maintain consistency across platforms.
• Ensure that design system components adhere to accessibility standards, optimizing inclusivity for all users.
• Conduct user research when necessary to validate design choices and iterate based on feedback.
• Create component documentation to support team-wide adoption.
• Work collaboratively with designers and engineers to develop components through a structured process.
• Partner with content writers to ensure consistency in tone, style, and clarity across all design system patterns.
• Work with product teams to ensure correct use of design system components, as needed.
• Collaborate with engineers to build and test components, ensuring accurate and high-quality implementation.

Educational and Experience Requirements

Must have: 

• Passion for creating beautiful, user-centric designs.
• Experience working as an in-house visual designer on one or more enterprise design systems.
• Deep understanding of how to continuously refine a design system over time, as needed.

Also, must have a portfolio (can be in the format of the design system itself) that shows: 

• Proven ability to design UI components and patterns that are reusable and scalable
• Use of design tokens to maintain consistency across products
• Approach to accessibility.

Competencies and Behaviors 

• A clear understanding of front-end engineering.  
• Passionate commitment to usability principles.  
• Excellent communication skills with a proven ability to drive coordination across cross-functional teams.  
• Strong English writing skills to facilitate clear, concise component documentation.
