We are looking for an experienced, detail oriented design systems leader with a strong vision to help expand our large scale, component design system to support multiple brands, products, and a global audience. As a design systems leader, you will empower our design and engineering teams to work faster, collaborate more effectively, and deliver high quality experiences for our customers throughout the world. You will be responsible for iterating on and creating new components, as well as building a robust system of documentation. You will collaborate directly with product and content designers to foster consistency in thought, process, and execution. You will work closely with design system engineers to build themable components and patterns, powered by design tokens. You will partner closely with other design systems designers throughout the world to achieve a single, unified approach to design systems.

  • Collaborate closely with Design, Brand, and Product leadership to shape the overall vision and product strategy to develop visual design principles for how the brand is expressed in our products
  • Consistently elevate the quality of the design by soliciting feedback from peers and stakeholders through formal design review, presentations, and by facilitating workshops
  • Remain current on industry and design trends as it relates to branded product experiences
  • Work closely with engineers to build robust components and patterns
  • Manage a small, global team
 
What We Look For In You
  • Experience working hands-on with design tokens or contributing to a multi-brand design system
  • Deep understanding of Figma componentization and design system best practices
  • Strong cross-cultural communication skills and experience collaborating with globally dispersed cross-functional teams of Designers, Product Manager, Engineers, Content Designers, and Researchers
  • Strong empathy around problem solving. Should be solutions oriented and results driven with the ability to deliver something of value.
  • Strong knowledge of Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines and Google’s Material Design
  • Ability and willingness to manage and mentor other designers on IxD, Design System, localization, and accessibility
  • Familiarity with designing for multiple platforms including native and responsive design
  • Basic understanding of development disciplines including HTML, CSS, Javascript, Swift, XML (You don't have to know how to code in any of these languages, but that would also be nice!)
  • Experience using qualitative or quantitative data to inform and measure the impact of the work
  • Bachelor's degree in Design, HCI, or equivalent practical experience
  • 8+ years of relevant experience in a global Design Systems role
  • Experience working with dispersed teams across offices and timezones

  • Understanding of React framework for Front End development
  • Fluent in Mandarin
