Summary:

Senior Product Designer - Design System

Clio needs a designer to manage and grow our design system to help the company build high quality software at scale and velocity for our customers according to our standards and best practices. As the designer of a design system you must understand the users needs and behaviors, and act as the voice of the users when the team is making decisions about the design system. The users are the designers and developers working on our product teams andby extensionthe users of the software that they build (Clios customers).

Responsibilities

You regularly meet with product teams (designers, developers, product managers) and other stakeholders (brand, senior leadership) to understand the needs of the business, the needs of the product teams, and the brand strategy overall

You take the ideas, inspiration, tech debt, and maintenance from research and work with your triad to convert them into a vision, strategies, concepts, and roadmaps for the design system team

You ensure documentation (specifications, guidelines, best practices) is kept up to date, is easy to navigate, and is accessible to all of the product teams

Ensure new questions are answered in a timely manner and are brought into the documentation

Define and publish processes and procedures to help teams self-solve problems based on patterns of questions that teams commonly ask

You stay current with design systems best practices and technologies to ensure Clio is evolving with industry trends and web standards (e.g. accessibility guidelines)

You create and share improvements to our design standards with design leadership and incorporate those improvements + feedback into the frameworks and components

You make it easy (by creating processes, workshops, and pairing) for product teams to contribute their ideas and improvements into the design system while maintaining a balance to ensure we dont bloat the system and make it harder to use

Required skills and knowledge

Strong written and verbal communication and presentation skills: youll need to share your vision and roadmap with the product teams and senior leaders, youll need to create documentation thats easy to find and easy to understand, youll need to create clear and concise project cards and briefs to describe the work and its value to stakeholders

A solid understanding of accessibility guidelines: youll need to ensure that the design system becomes and remains accessible by default and provide guidance to teams using the design system to help them write accessible software using the systems tools, frameworks, and components

Strong visual and interaction design craft: youll be working with finer details and micro-interactions of our front-end interface components and we want to ensure that our user interfaces and interactions are easy to use, the components are easy to implement, theyre accessible, and theyre pushing us forward to help us be perceived as a leading and innovative product

Strong systems design craft: your product is a complex design system for multiple products using multiple different tech stacks being designed by multiple different teams, so youll be designing solutions that need to help our teams build a scalable and cohesive design system

A pragmatic approach to problem-solving: youll need to reconcile real needs and use-cases with available frameworks, guidelines, principles to ensure teams are able to deliver value to our customers without being hindered or limited by the design system

Effective research and synthesis skills: youll be constantly talking to our product teams and other stakeholders to understand the evolving needs of the organization and be able to identify actionable insights to inform the design system vision, strategies, projects, and priorities

Bonus skills

Writing HTML, CSS, and Javascript: The main library of components are web-based and its important to know about the strengths and limitations of these technologies, but also being able to jump in and write code is a tremendously valuable super-power for a design system designer

Knowledge of project/product management tools and frameworks: Familiarity with frameworks like lean and agile; think about prioritization, sequencing, compounding value of the work; coordination and alignment across teams and with external stakeholders; defining missions and strategies
