Job Description

Insight Global is seeking a Principal Design System Product Designer to support an enterprise Design System team. The design system is mature within the customer facing design team but is not public. The role is going to be a senior level role to manage design system workflows, but the candidate will not have direct reports. The ideal candidate will be senior in design communication skills and be able to work with stakeholders to represent the enterprise design system. This person will be helping to support decision making for the design system team, as well as delegate design system tasks, manage design system workflows and reviews. Candidates will be in the weeds of maintaining the system, understand components quality, and be able to lead design system demos. The team is collaborative with a peer design system development team, as well as VQA teams, and creates design system content for matrix product and journey design teams to use. The system is already stood up, but this role will be to help maintain the design system as well as enhance it with a new rebrand that took place. Candidates should have great communication and design storytelling skills, be confident in managing design system group work, be able to make design system decisions with a systematic approach, as well as support a complex enterprise environment.
