• Design maintenance: Continuously updating and improving the Design system so it is leaner and better documented.
• Design support: Providing guidance and support to internal teams and external agencies — including accessibility reviews and documentation improvements.
• Onboarding and enablement: Training new teams and agencies on how to use and contribute to the Design System.
• Theme requests: Managing and designing brand or product-level visual customizations.
• Continuous research: Observing how the Design System is used in real projects to identify frictions, opportunities, and long-term trends — and implementing these insights to evolve the system.

• Proven hands-on experience contributing to Design System libraries— from component design to documentation and implementation.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills, with experience working closely with cross‑functional teams (designers, developers, product managers).
• Solid understanding of technical constraints and opportunities in digital product design.
• Awareness of inclusive and accessible design principles and their practical application.
• Advanced mastery of Figma (auto-layouts, variants, constraints, styles, tokens, prototyping and slots).
• Excellent visual design and UI craft skills, with an eye for detail and consistency.
• Creative problem‑solving mindset and ability to turn complexity into clarity.
• Capacity to guide, train, and support other teams as they adopt and evolve within the Design System ecosystem.
• Strong UX fundamentals, including information architecture, interaction design, and simplification of complex workflows and interfaces.
