• 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
