Title:Figma Design Specialist
Location: Remote (United States)
Duration: 3 Months with possible extension
Schedule: Monday–Friday | 40 Hours/Week

Job Description

The Figma Design Specialist will lead a large-scale enterprise Figma design system migration, moving a complex, interconnected Figma environment from one Enterprise account to another. This role requires deep expertise in Figma design systems, shared libraries, component architecture, design tokens, and Token Studio. The specialist will work closely with internal design teams to audit, restructure, migrate, validate, and optimize design system assets while ensuring minimal disruption to active product design work.

The ideal candidate has extensive experience managing enterprise-scale Figma libraries, performing design system migrations, resolving component and token dependencies, and implementing scalable design architecture. This is a highly technical, hands-on role requiring someone who can independently assess complex design environments, execute migration strategies, troubleshoot issues, and document decisions throughout the migration process.

Key Responsibilities

Design Systems & Shared Library Management

• Audit Figma workspace files and map shared library dependencies, component references, and token connections across Patterns, Recipes, Templates, and production files.

• Lead duplication and restructuring of the Foundations library into a brand-specific library while maintaining component naming integrity.

• Execute Figma's Swap Library functionality across the complete design system.

• Reconnect shared components after the Foundations library is migrated into the new Enterprise account.

• Identify and manually resolve components that cannot be automatically matched due to renamed, deleted, or structurally modified assets.

• Validate published libraries including Patterns, Recipes, and Templates after migration.

• Ensure downstream design files continue receiving library updates correctly.

• Document migration decisions, structural changes, and known limitations for the design team.

Design Tokens & Variable Management

• Configure Token Studio within the new Enterprise Figma account.

• Connect Token Studio to a brand-specific token architecture.

• Validate color, typography, spacing, and component token connections following migration.

• Identify and resolve broken or mismatched token references.

• Ensure long-term maintainability of the token architecture for an independent design system.

Migration Execution

• Execute an initial proof-of-concept migration by duplicating a low-complexity team into a sandbox workspace.

• Test migration of a library file and document findings before full migration begins.

• Coordinate with Enterprise administrators on team-level migration activities.

• Execute migration in a structured sequence to minimize disruption to active production work.

• Perform complete QA of the migrated environment before project handoff.

• Verify there are no broken component references, disconnected libraries, or missing token connections.

• Experience working with multi-brand design systems and shared foundation libraries.

---

Bonus Qualifications

• Previous experience migrating an Enterprise Figma environment between Enterprise accounts.

• Knowledge of Figma plugins for library management, token management, or bulk operations.

• Experience presenting migration findings, technical decisions, and recommendations to design leadership.

Work Environment

• Fully remote within the United States.

• Work closely with internal Product Design and Design Systems teams.

• Support active production design teams throughout the migration.

• Collaborate with two additional Technical Figma Designers joining during the first month.

• Fast-paced, deadline-driven migration project requiring precision and attention to detail.
