• Create systems that support consistency while allowing for appropriate content and layout flexibility.
• Manage template updates, version control, archival processes, and ongoing system improvements.
• Audit Figma files and templates for visual consistency, usability, accessibility, accuracy, and alignment with brand standards.
• Develop and maintain production-ready assets across multiple sizes, formats, and channels.
• Adapt designs across digital and print applications while maintaining the integrity of the visual system.
• Create efficient workflows for high-volume asset production, localization, versioning, and content updates.
• Maintain organized digital asset libraries, file structures, documentation, and handoff standards.
• Identify production risks and system inefficiencies, then develop practical solutions that improve quality and speed.
• Support the continued evolution of the organization’s visual design system and production infrastructure.
• Contribute to the evolution and documentation of design systems, templates, workflows, and production standards.

What you’ll need: 

• 6+ years of experience in production design, graphic design, or a related field.
• Advanced experience building and managing Figma templates, components, libraries, styles, variables, and shared design systems.
• Familiarity with Figma variables, auto layout, component properties, publishing workflows, and template permissions.
• Strong portfolio demonstrating scalable visual systems and high-quality digital and print production.
• Expert knowledge of Adobe Creative Cloud, particularly InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop.
• Strong understanding of typography, grid systems, layout, hierarchy, composition, color, and image production.
• Experience developing templates for digital channels, including web, email, social media, presentations, and responsive formats.
• Exceptional attention to detail and a structured approach to quality assurance.
• Strong understanding of design system governance, documentation, accessibility, and version control.
• Knowledge of accessibility standards and digital file specifications.
• Ability to manage multiple projects, priorities, and system updates in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong organizational and problem-solving skills, with the ability to improve processes and identify production efficiencies.
