Must-Haves
- Expert-level proficiency in Figma, including deep understanding of files, shared libraries, components, variants, and publishing workflows
- Hands-on experience building, managing, or restructuring large-scale Figma design systems and shared libraries
- Strong knowledge of design token architecture, including mapping tokens to variables, styles, and component-level usage
- Proven experience using Figma’s Swap Library feature in a real-world migration or restructuring scenario
- Ability to audit complex Figma environments and identify dependencies across libraries, components, and files
- High attention to detail with the ability to execute precise, high-volume updates without introducing downstream issues
- Self-sufficient operator — able to take minimal direction, assess needs, and execute independently
Plusses
- Experience with Token Studio (setup, configuration, and multi-brand token management)
- Exposure to Figma Enterprise environments (org structure, permissions, library sharing, admin workflows)
- Prior involvement in design system migrations, brand splits, or Figma org transitions
- Familiarity with multi-brand design systems and how shared foundations are adapted across brands
- Experience with Figma plugins for bulk updates, token management, or library optimization
- Ability to clearly communicate technical decisions and findings to design leadership
Day-to-Day Responsibilities
- Audit existing Figma workspace to map library dependencies, component relationships, and token connections across all files
- Lead restructuring of foundational design libraries into brand-specific systems, ensuring naming consistency and integrity
- Execute library migration using Swap Library, including manual resolution of unmatched or broken components
- Validate and QA all libraries (Patterns, Recipes, Templates) to ensure proper publishing and downstream propagation
- Set up and configure Token Studio in the new environment and reconnect all token structures (color, typography, spacing, etc.)
- Identify and resolve broken or mismatched token references across migrated assets
- Run an early proof of concept migration, document findings, and refine migration approach
- Partner with internal stakeholders and admins to coordinate enterprise account transition and team migration
- Sequence migration activities to minimize disruption to active design work
- Perform full QA of the migrated environment, ensuring no broken references, missing libraries, or disconnected tokens
- Document decisions, gaps, and system changes for long-term maintainability
