Senior Product Designer – Design Systems

Senior Product Designer

Location: Remote (U.S. Based – MUST work EST hours)
Employment Type: W2 Contract 
 

Role Overview

We are seeking a senior-level Product Designer to support a UX organization undergoing a rapid, AI-first transformation. This role sits inside a large-scale design system environment supporting 6,000+ branded sites, where speed, consistency, and systemized execution matter more than greenfield ideation.

This is a high-volume, high-expectation contract role for a designer who is confident operating within constraints, fluent in design systems, and comfortable using AI as a required productivity and quality lever — not an optional experiment.

This is not a booking flow, innovation lab, or exploratory UX role. It is industrial-scale design execution.

What You’ll Do

• Execute product and experience design within an AI-embedded UX workflow, using prescribed prompts, workflows, and tooling to accelerate delivery

• Design once at a category or system level, then cascade designs across multiple brands using layered design models

• Work deeply inside existing design systems, component libraries, and emerging design tokens — extending systems rather than reinventing them

• Deliver high-volume, template-driven design output with speed, accuracy, and visual consistency

• Partner with UX leadership to validate effectiveness post-deployment and iterate rapidly

• Support accessibility compliance using AI-assisted validation tools and system-level patterns

• Operate effectively during organizational change, shifting priorities, and AI-driven re-alignment

Required Experience

• 7+ years of experience as a Product Designer / UX Designer in enterprise or platform-scale environments

• Deep, hands-on experience with design systems, component libraries, and large-scale UI ecosystems

• Proven ability to work fast, confidently, and independently without heavy direction

• Strong visual craftsmanship within constraints (not blue-sky or conceptual design)

• Experience designing for template-driven or multi-brand environments

• Demonstrated comfort using AI tools as part of daily design execution (prompting, iteration, validation, efficiency gains)

• Advanced proficiency in Figma (components, libraries, variants, tokens, collaboration workflows)

What Will Set You Apart

• Experience working in AI-first or AI-mandated design organizations

• Comfort operating during reorgs, budget pressure, and delivery model shifts

• Ability to scale designs across dozens or hundreds of implementations

• Clear understanding of accessibility at a system level, not just page-by-page compliance

• A pragmatic, execution-focused mindset — you make systems work rather than fight them

Important Context

• AI adoption is mandatory and tied to performance expectations

• Contractors are intentionally prioritized due to 2026 headcount uncertainty

• This role is designed for senior, production-ready designers — not early-career talent or designers still developing their voice

• Speed, confidence, and volume tolerance are critical to success

The hourly pay range for this position (dependent on factors including but not limited to client requirements, experience, statutory considerations, and location) is $60.00 to $70.00/hr. Benefits available to full-time employees: medical, dental, vision, disability, life insurance, 401k and commuter benefits.
