Our client a leading retail & consumer goods provider is seeking a Figma Design Specialist to join their team! This position is remote.
Core Responsibilities
- Audit Figma workspace files and map the shared library dependencies, component references, and token connections across Patterns, Recipes, Templates, and working files
- Lead the duplication and restructuring of the Foundations library into a brand-specific version — stripping non-applicable assets while maintaining component naming integrity
- Execute Figma’s Swap Library feature across the full file set to reconnect components after the Foundations library is re-homed in the new account
- Identify and manually resolve any components that cannot be automatically matched during the swap — including renamed, deleted, or structurally changed assets
- Validate the published state of all Patterns, Recipes, and Template libraries post-migration to ensure all downstream files are receiving updates correctly
- Document all library decisions, known gaps, and structural changes for the ongoing design team
- Set up Token Studio in the new Figma account and connect it to a brand-specific token set
- Validate that all token connections are intact post-migration — colors, typography, spacing, and component-level tokens
- Identify and resolve broken or mismatched token references across migrated files
- Ensure the token architecture supports an independent design system going forward
- Run a proof of concept test early in the engagement: duplicate a low-lift team, transfer it to a test workspace within a provided sandbox, and repeat for a library file — document findings before full migration begins
- Coordinate with admins on the team-level transfer to the new Enterprise account
- Work through the migration in a sequenced order that minimizes disruption to active design work
- Expert-level Figma proficiency — you know the platform deeply, including how files, libraries, components, variants, and publishing workflows interact
- Hands-on experience managing or rebuilding Figma shared libraries — you understand how library changes propagate and what breaks when they don’t
- Strong working knowledge of design token architecture — how tokens are structured, how they map to Figma variables and styles, and how to validate connections
- Experience with Figma’s Swap Library feature — you’ve used it in a real context, not just experimented with it
- Ability to audit large, complex Figma file systems and identify structural dependencies without being told where to look
- Token Studio experience — setup, configuration, multi-brand token sets, and connection to Figma variables
- Experience with Figma Enterprise tier administration — org settings, team structure, seat management, library sharing settings
- Prior work on a design system migration, brand split, or Figma org transition
- Familiarity with multi-brand design systems — understanding how a shared foundation gets forked into brand-specific implementations
- Figma plugin knowledge relevant to library management, bulk operations, or token tooling
- Comfortable presenting findings and decisions to design leadership in plain language
- Detail oriented and methodical
- Self-sufficient day to day
- Location: United States
- Remote
- Pay Range: The approximate pay range for this position is between $53.00 and $76.00. Please note that the pay range provided is a good faith estimate. Final compensation may vary based on factors including but not limited to background, knowledge, skills, and location. We comply with local wage minimums.
