Job description

Are you ready to shape the digital experiences of the world's premier global private bank? We're looking for a Senior Associate Visual Designer to join our team and help scale the design system that powers our client-facing web and mobile experiences.

Our design system is already established and in active use , and you'll play a pivotal role in its next chapter. You'll partner closely with product designers, engineers, product managers, and accessibility partners to make sure every client touchpoint is consistent, accessible, and reflects the quality our clients expect.

You will have the opportunity to:

• Help guide the future of our design system and how it adapts to iOS and Android, one of our biggest priorities for next year
• Own design system governance across both design and engineering
• Make our components easy to use for AI-powered prototyping and building
• Be the go-to expert for teams adopting and migrating to the design system
• Directly influence how our clients interact with the bank across web and mobile

Job Responsibilities

• Govern use of the design system across design and engineering, making sure the right components and tokens are used correctly in both design work and production code
• Own intake and triage of requests for new or updated components, evaluate them for reuse and overlap, and prioritize the backlog with design system leadership and engineering
• Design, build, and document new components that are scalable, accessible, and consistent with the existing system, including clear usage guidance
• Structure and document component code so AI tools can use it reliably for prototyping and building, using consistent naming, clear properties, semantic tokens, and machine-readable usage rules
• Use AI tools in your own workflow to speed up component design, documentation, and governance work
• Partner with mobile designers and iOS and Android engineers to extend the system to native mobile, balancing cross-platform consistency with platform conventions (Apple Human Interface Guidelines and Material Design)
• Maintain design tokens and system assets, including versioning, release notes, and deprecation, keeping design and code aligned across web, iOS, and Android
• Guide technology teams migrating to the design system through gap analyses, component mapping, office hours, and migration guides
• Coordinate with the technology team to get new components ingested into the design system showcase site, and keep the site aligned with the code libraries
• Track and report adoption and system health metrics to stakeholders and leadership
• Present design system decisions to designers, engineers, product partners, and leadership, and gather feedback to guide ongoing improvements
• Stay current on design system trends and tools, including multi-platform systems and AI

Required Qualifications, Skills and Capabilities

• Degree in a relevant design discipline (such as Interaction Design, HCI, User Experience Design, or Visual Design), or equivalent work experience
• 4+ years of experience in product, UI, or visual design, including hands-on design system work
• Strong UI/visual and interaction design skills, with a sharp eye for detail and consistency
• Hands‑on experience using AI tools to design, prototype, and build, and an understanding of how to structure components and documentation so AI tools can use them effectively
• Working knowledge of iOS and Android platform conventions
• Solid understanding of accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1/2.2 AA) and inclusive design on web and mobile
• Proven collaboration with engineers, with familiarity with front-end concepts and how tokens and components map to code
• Strong organizational and communication skills, with the ability to prioritize competing requests and guide teams toward standards without direct authority
• Portfolio required, linked from your resume, showing design system work

Preferred Qualifications, Skills and Capabilities

• Experience extending a design system to native mobile platforms; familiarity with SwiftUI or Jetpack Compose
• Experience making a design system AI‑ready (for example, through MCP servers, structured component metadata, or LLM‑friendly documentation)
• Experience with token tooling (such as Style Dictionary) and documentation platforms (such as Storybook)
• Experience supporting large‑scale design system migrations
• Experience in financial services or other regulated industries
• Motion and interaction design experience
