Figma Design Specialist

Job Title: Figma Design Specialist

Location: Remote US

Job Description:

Job#: 3037141

Location: Remote- Flexible hours but 9am CST is general start time

Duration: 3 months

Job Description:

• We are executing a complex Figma design system migration - moving a large, interconnected Figma environment from one enterprise account to another. The work involves shared libraries, component hierarchies, and a token architecture managed through Token Studio.
• We are looking for a Figma specialist with deep design systems expertise to lead this effort. You will be embedded with our design team, working hands-on through every phase of the migration. This is not a generalist design role - we need someone who lives in the technical side of Figma and understands how shared libraries, components, tokens, and publishing workflows fit together at scale.

Responsibilities:

Design Systems & Library Work

• 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

Token & Variable Work

• 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

Migration Execution

• 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 org 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
• QA the full migrated environment before handoff - confirm no broken references, missing libraries, or disconnected tokens remain

Requirements:

• 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
• Detail-oriented and methodical - comfortable doing high-volume, precise reconnection work where mistakes have downstream consequences
• Self-sufficient day-to-day - you can take a brief and run with it without needing constant direction

Strongly Preferred:

• 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
• Bonus: You've done this before - moved a Figma environment from one enterprise account to another and know where the bodies are buried
• Figma plugin knowledge relevant to library management, bulk operations, or token tooling. And comfortable presenting findings and decisions to design leadership in plain language
