JOB DESCRIPTION
Who We Are
Robert Half, one of FORTUNE's World's Most Admired Companies and a Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For is hiring for a Lead Product Designer, Design Systems (Contract Talent) to join the Experience Design department. Join us in creating digital experiences that connect businesses with exceptional talent and empower job seekers throughout their career journey.
We're looking for a systems-minded designer with deep experience contributing to and evolving enterprise design systems, and a passion for scaling design across platforms while ensuring consistent, accessible, and globally inclusive experiences.
You bring order to complexity by transforming product needs into scalable frameworks, reusable components, patterns, and guidance that enable consistency and efficiency at scale. In this role, you'll help lead strategic design system initiatives that improve quality and accessibility, measure and drive adoption, and continuously evolve the system based on user, business, and engineering needs.
What You''ll Do
Translate product and experience needs into scalable design system solutions by evolving reusable components, patterns, foundations, and guidance.
Partner closely with engineering to evolve the design system, ensuring solutions are scalable, technically aligned, accessible, globally inclusive, and easy for teams to adopt and implement.
Evaluate product designs to identify opportunities for standardization, determining when solutions should become reusable system assets versus remain product-specific.
Build strong partnerships with UX, Product, Engineering, Marketing, Brand, and other cross-functional partners to understand their needs and improve the overall design system experience.
Lead strategic design system initiatives and contribute to roadmap planning by identifying opportunities that improve the long-term health, quality, and adoption of the system.
Champion design quality through accessibility reviews, implementation validation, and ongoing system stewardship. Partner with front-end engineers to ensure system decisions translate effectively into code with shared ownership of quality, parity, and maintainability.
Contribute to the evolution of design system governance by evaluating new requests, balancing flexibility with consistency, and helping establish standards that enable teams to move quickly while maintaining a cohesive experience.
Champion adoption of the design system through consultation, education, documentation, and partner engagement. Measure adoption and identify opportunities to improve the designer and developer experiences.
Mentor designers and foster a culture of collaboration, continuous learning, systems thinking, and design excellence.
Contribute to the ongoing operation of the design system, including Figma libraries, documentation, release communications, design reviews, and continuous improvements to team processes and workflows.
What You''ll Need
BA or equivalent in related fields.
5-8+ years of experience in Product Design or UX Design.
3+ years of dedicated experience contributing to and evolving enterprise design systems across multiple products or platforms.
A portfolio that demonstrates how you''ve shaped scalable design patterns, systemized complex UI challenges, and delivered cohesive accessible experiences across platforms.
A strong eye for visual craft, interaction quality, and detail, with the ability to maintain a high bar for consistency across a complex design system.
Expert proficiency in Figma, including component architecture, variables, design tokens, Auto Layout, and scalable library management.
Exceptional knowledge of accessibility standards and commitment to inclusive design.
Strong understanding of front-end technologies (HTML, CSS, React, or similar) and the ability to collaborate effectively with engineering on implementation.
Experience working across the design-to-code workflow, including design specifications, Storybook, design QA, implementation validation, and maintaining parity between design and code.
Strong communication and documentation skills with the ability to clearly articulate design intent, system rationale, and implementation guidance to cross-functional teams.
All applicants must have an online portfolio accompanying their resume/CV.
Preferred Qualifications:
Familiarity with design system analytics, adoption metrics, or measuring design system impact.
Experience designing for internationalization and localization.
Experience with accessibility audits and partnering on remediation efforts.
Experience with automation, AI-assisted workflows, MCPs, or Figma plugins that improve design system operations.
The typical hourly pay rate for this position is shown below and is negotiable depending upon experience and location.
$62.98 - $97.60
