• You establish scalable component architectures, token strategies, variables, and documentation structures in Figma, ensuring consistency, maintainability, and implementation readiness

• You own advanced Figma workflows including libraries, branching, versioning, variables, modes, responsive systems, automation, and multi-team collaboration models

• You work closely with product, engineering, research, strategy, and design teams to bridge design intent and technical implementation while aligning vision with execution

• You actively introduce AI-supported and agentic workflows into the design process — leveraging automation, intelligent tooling, and emerging DesignOps practices to improve quality, efficiency, and scalability

• You contribute to complex automotive ecosystems and understand the challenges of multi-brand, multi-platform, and embedded digital experiences

• You bring deep expertise in Figma including advanced auto layout, component systems, variables, tokens, responsive design, prototyping, shared libraries, branching, and versioning
• You understand how design systems scale across multiple teams, products, and implementation environments
• You bring experience with DesignOps, contribution models, governance structures, and cross-functional collaboration
• You actively use AI within your daily practice and have experience with agentic workflows, automation, AI-supported tooling, and design operations approaches to improve system creation, maintenance, and collaboration
• You have a strong understanding of visual identity systems — typography, layout, and color — and know how to apply brand consistently across digital products
• You communicate clearly and effectively across stakeholders, workshops, and multidisciplinary teams
• You bring a proactive, ownership-driven mindset and thrive in complex and fast-moving environments

• A central role in a dynamic, independent design consultancy with an international portfolio spanning enterprise product design, city identity, design systems, and regulated industries
• Direct access to partners and senior leadership - flat hierarchies, real autonomy, and room to shape how we do product strategy
• A dedicated team of high-profile designers and strategists driven by a no-ego, high-craft culture
• Personal responsibility, space for your own ideas, and the opportunity to grow with the company and the practice
