Design Multi-Area (Figma Design Specialist)

We are undertaking a large-scale Figma design system migration, moving a highly interconnected enterprise Figma environment from one account to another. This includes shared libraries, complex component hierarchies, and a token architecture managed through Token Studio.

We are seeking a Figma design systems specialist with deep technical expertise to lead this migration end to end. This is a hands-on, highly specialised role focused on the technical mechanics of Figma at scale not a generalist product or visual design position. You will work closely with an active design team and play a critical role in ensuring a clean, stable, and future-proof transition.

Responsibilities

Design Systems & Library Management

• Audit existing Figma files to map shared libraries, component dependencies, and token connections across foundations, patterns, templates, and working files
• Duplicate and restructure the Foundations library into a brand-specific version while maintaining naming integrity and component relationships
• Execute Figma s Swap Library workflow across the full file set to reconnect components after migration
• Manually resolve components that cannot be automatically matched, including renamed, removed, or structurally changed assets
• Validate the published state of all libraries post-migration to ensure downstream files update correctly
• Document library decisions, structural changes, and known gaps for long-term team use

Tokens & Variables

• Set up Token Studio in the new Figma account and connect it to a brand-specific token set
• Validate all token connections (colour, typography, spacing, and component-level tokens) after migration
• Identify and resolve broken or mismatched token references
• Ensure the token architecture supports an independent, scalable design system going forward

Migration Execution & QA

• Run an early proof of concept by migrating a low-impact team and library into a sandbox environment and documenting findings
• Coordinate with organisation administrators on team and workspace transfers
• Execute the migration in a sequenced manner to minimise disruption to active design work
• Perform full QA prior to handover, confirming no broken references, missing libraries, or disconnected tokens remain

Required Qualifications

• Expert-level proficiency in Figma, including files, libraries, components, variants, and publishing workflows
• Hands-on experience managing or rebuilding shared Figma libraries at scale
• Strong understanding of design token architecture and its mapping to Figma variables and styles
• Practical experience using Figma s Swap Library feature in real-world scenarios
• Proven ability to audit large, complex Figma environments and identify structural dependencies independently
• Highly detail-oriented and methodical, with comfort handling high-volume, precision work
• Able to work autonomously and drive execution without constant direction

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Token Studio, including setup, configuration, and multi-brand token management
• Familiarity with Figma Enterprise administration (org settings, team structure, library sharing)
• Previous involvement in design system migrations, brand splits, or Figma organisation transitions
• Experience working with multi-brand design systems and shared foundations
