• Champion quality, consistency and accessibility across the product, applying WCAG standards and usability best practices
• Contribute to design system governance, supporting component evaluation and evolution while escalating major decisions to Design Ops leadership
• Improve workflows and tooling by optimising Figma libraries, tokens, naming conventions and Dev Mode usage

• 3–6 years of experience in UI/Product Design, with at least 1–2 years working on or with design systems
• Strong understanding of component-driven design, UI architecture and systematic thinking
• Expert Figma skills, including components, variants, auto-layout, library management, variables, theming, design tokens and multi-mode systems
• Strong visual design fundamentals (typography, spacing, colour, grids, interaction details)
• Experience collaborating closely with engineers and understanding front-end constraints
• Ability to write clear, practical documentation for designers and developers
• Solid grasp of accessibility standards, responsive behaviour and design best practices
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills across design, product and engineering
