Moniepoint - Product Design Lead - Design System
Requirements
• Proven Design System Track Record: Extensive experience building, scaling, and maintaining production-ready design systems rather than just standalone product features. • Cross-Platform Expertise: Deep understanding of the constraints and guidelines governing multiple platforms, including Web, iOS, and Android. • Systems-Thinking Mindset: A portfolio demonstrating how individual design decisions impact multiple products, scale sustainably, and optimize designer/engineer workflows. • Front-End Alignment: Strong familiarity with how developers inspect, build, and consume components in code repositories. • Expert Figma Proficiency: Advanced knowledge of Figma libraries, auto-layout, components, variants, variables, and library publication. • Accessibility Champion: Solid grasp of accessibility standards (WCAG), contrast requirements, and inclusive design principles. • Technical Literacy: Familiarity with component-driven frameworks (React, Flutter) and Atomic Design methodology. • Communication & Documentation: Excellent writing and presentation skills, with an ability to translate complex design system choices into clear executive-level updates and technical guidelines.
Responsibilities
• UI Craft & Visual Excellence: Maintain an exceptionally high standard for layout, typography, colour, spacing, visual hierarchy, and overall digital finish across all reusable elements. • UI Craft & Visual Excellence: • Component Architecture: Design, build, and maintain robust component libraries (buttons, inputs, cards, navigation, forms, tables, etc.) that scale seamlessly across products. • Component Architecture • Interaction & Motion Design: Define interactive behaviors and state transitions (e.g., hover, focus, disabled, loading, and mobile behaviors) to ensure components feel alive and intuitive. • Interaction & Motion Design: • Design Token Management: Structure and maintain design tokens (colours, spacing, typography, border-radius, shadows) to drive consistency between design environments and code. • Design Token Management: • Figma Library Architecture: Organize complex variants, properties, and components within Figma to empower other product designers to build quickly and accurately. • Figma Library Architecture: • Engineering Collaboration: Partner closely with engineering teams to navigate technical constraints across Web, React, Flutter, Android, and iOS/Native app environments. • Engineering Collaboration: • Documentation & Governance: Create clear, comprehensive usage guidelines and documentation outlining when, why, and how components should (and should not) be used. • Documentation & Governance: • High Adoption & Efficiency: Design and engineering teams actively use the system, resulting in significantly accelerated product shipping cycles. • Flawless Cross-Platform Consistency: A unified look, feel, and interactive behavior across all customer-facing touchpoints (Web, Android, iOS). • Best-in-Class Documentation: A central, living source of truth that leaves no ambiguity regarding design tokens, component rules, or brand compliance. • Scalable Architecture: A foundational library that handles future product expansions, rebrands, or theme changes with minimal friction.
