[What you will be working on]

• Navigate conversations with design leads and product teams to surface gaps, spot wins, and shape what gets standardised.

• Synthesise what’s working across teams, partnering with design leaders to document and share patterns that raise quality.

• Drive the design portal forward as the place designers go for standards, best practices, and learning materials.

• Work on how design quality is measured across the government, building frameworks that make impact visible and learnable across the community.

• Drive the execution on the strategic direction for a GovTech-wide design system.

Why You’d Join

• Shape the standards and systems that every designer at GovTech builds on, working at a level where your decisions compound across dozens of teams and products.

• Broaden your practice across design systems, organisational design, and practice leadership, moving beyond project-level work to influence how design operates.

• Work directly with the head of design practice and design leaders across GovTech, with visibility into how design is shaped at the organisational level.

• Be part of a small central team where your ideas have room to become reality, without the layers that slow things down in larger organisations.

[What we are looking for]

• 6+ years of experience building or contributing to design systems that scale across multiple teams or products.

• A keen interest in how design moves the needle at an organisational level, not just within a single project.

• Natural instinct for spotting what should be documented, standardised, or shared across teams.

• Ease working across functions and seniority levels, from design leads to practitioners building the work.

• Preferred background: hands-on experience shaping tooling decisions, team structures, or practice-level initiatives.
