Job description

Our client, one of the world's largest investment companies, is actively looking for a Senior UX Product Designer to join their team in Malvern, PA! This role is onsite hybrid 3 days a week so local candidates are required.

***This is a 6 month contract with the opportunity to convert based on performance***

This Designer will be a part of the company's small but mighty Design Systems and Practices (DS+P) team! Encompassing systems design, visual strategy, and design practice, DS+P creates the shared foundations, tools, and ways of working that enable internal teams to build consistent, scalable, and high quality experiences. They're looking for a Designer with a strong systems mindset-someone who thinks in patterns, dependencies, and outcomes, and who can bring clarity and structure to complex, evolving ecosystems. They are a deeply collaborative team, and each member is directly responsible for the team's overall success!

Responsibilities

• Design, deliver, and mature modern, AI ready system foundations (AXS 3.0) that enable consistency, reuse, and scale across teams.
• Lead the delivery of the semantic token architecture, including clear, AI readable naming, aligned color/type/spacing tokens, and partner ready exports with minimal disruption to inflight work.
• Establish and maintain a system architecture that supports early, system accurate prototyping-reducing rework by ensuring teams explore within supported patterns from the start.
• Connect design system assets to implementation through strong design to code alignment, partnering closely with engineering to ensure components, tokens, and documentation stay in sync.
• Launch and evolve automated documentation across Figma and code surfaces, reducing manual overhead while increasing trust, clarity, and adoption of the system.
• Create clear usage guidance, system guardrails, and governance patterns that prevent fragmentation while still enabling teams to move quickly.

Required & Desired Skills & Experience

Required

• 10+ years of UX and/or visual product design experience, including significant experience in design systems, component libraries, or scaled pattern ecosystems.
• Deep expertise designing for reusable systems: tokens, components, patterns, templates, and the governance needed to keep them healthy over time.
• Proficiency with industry standard design and prototyping tools (Figma), including modern workflows that connect design output to engineering consumption.
• Working knowledge of AI-assisted design workflows, including how to use AI to accelerate exploration while maintaining system accuracy, accessibility, and brand integrity.
• Experience creating or operationalizing documentation that stays current (automation preferred), with a bias toward clarity, usability, and adoption.
• A systems approach to design with strong craft judgment (typography, layout, interaction, content patterns) and an instinct for “simple, scalable, repeatable.”
• A portfolio of relevant work is required for consideration.
• Experience with semantic token architecture, theming, or multi-brand/multi-template ecosystems.
• Experience connecting Figma libraries to engineering systems (e.g., Storybook) and/or establishing documentation pipelines.
• Experience working in highly regulated environments (accessibility, compliance), and designing systems that reduce risk through standardization.
• Experience supporting marketing web ecosystems, CMS/template-driven builds, or content-heavy page models.
