We are seeking an experienced Design System Owner with expert visual design skills and technical acumen to take our design system to the next level. You will champion the development, maintenance, and management of LM’s design system and ensure that LM’s global UI and platform experience is highly intuitive, accessible, cohesive, and visually compelling.

Working in tandem with the design team, product managers, engineering, technical writing, and other stakeholders you will define the design language, principles, processes, and standards that guide the design of the LM Platform to speed delivery and maximize quality. Make your mark helping the design and dev teams deliver cohesive design quickly, maximizing component and code reuse and reducing the learning curve for customers.

Expert visual design skills are a must for this position.

Here’s a closer look at this key role:

Design, test, and document global UI components in partnership with the design team, product, dev, and docs teams ensuring they are added to the design system.
Work very closely with cross functional partners and design team to ensure the design system, component library, documentation, and governance help them deliver faster and more effectively.
Documentation and Education: Document the usage instructions, design patterns, principles, and guidelines for the system and ensure designers and developers are able to effectively leverage the system. Conduct workshops, training sessions, or provide resources to help teams understand and adopt the design system.
Iterate and improve the design system over time, incorporating feedback from users and customer-facing teams and addressing any gaps.
Ensure DS updates can be incorporated into existing UX design files as seamlessly as possible, requiring as little effort as possible from designers to get their prototypes up to date.
Evaluate and incorporate new features of the design tools into the DS library components and then educate the team in their use.
Manage the backlog and prioritize work in partnership with design, dev, and product leadership.
Establish and manage versioning and distribution of the design system components. Establish a process for version control, managing the component libraries, and coordinating with design and dev teams to implement updates effectively.
Create strategy for future UI redesigns.
Act as a "glue" collaborating effectively in remote agile "Product Trio" teams (Design, Dev, and Product).
Continuously improve your knowledge of UX best practices, business goals, and seek opportunity to add value to the business and team.
