• Lead design reviews focused on system alignment, quality, and long-term scalability rather than surface-level execution.

• Intervene when teams or agencies go off-system, guiding course correction through principled, credible design rationale.

• Translate system intent into clear guidance, documentation, and decision frameworks that teams can use.

• Act as a senior design representative in complex, sometimes adversarial conversations where brand, speed, or local needs conflict with system integrity.

• Champion accessibility, inclusivity, and consistency as non-negotiable system qualities.

• Present system strategy, decisions, and tradeoffs to senior leadership and executive stakeholders.

• Proven ability to influence without direct authority and to hold firm on standards under pressure.

• Exceptional communication and storytelling skills, including experience presenting to senior leaders and navigating contentious discussions.

• Deep expertise in modern design tools and systems workflows, including Figma-based system management.

What Will Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)

• 7+ years of professional experience in product design, systems design, or design systems roles.

• Experience working with global brands, complex brand architectures, or federated organizations.

• Prior experience engaging with Marketing organizations and external agencies in governance or review contexts.
