Lead Product Designer evolving Checkatrade's multi-platform design system across web and mobile. Collaborating with engineering, mentoring designers, and enhancing user experience.
Responsibilities
Designing and evolving our multi-platform design system across web, iOS and Android.
Owning the end-to-end architecture in Figma - components, patterns, tokens, motion, spacing, accessibility and documentation.
Building and maintaining high-quality libraries that designers love and engineers trust.
Partnering closely with engineering to ensure accurate, performant implementation across platforms.
Creating structure where none exists: contribution models, governance, versioning, release cycles and QA.
Running audits to spot gaps, remove friction, and evolve the system as our products scale.
Shaping how system-level thinking is applied in real product teams across trade and consumer.
Mentoring designers on how to design within, contribute to, and get the most from a complex system.
Championing adoption across teams - showing how the system speeds delivery and elevates quality.
Rolling up your sleeves and getting hands-on ~70% of the time, with leadership and enablement making up the rest.
Requirements
A track record of building or evolving robust, multi-platform design systems - ideally in a mature product environment, not a first-version start-up environment.
Systems thinking: the ability to connect tokens → components → patterns → brand → engineering in a cohesive, scalable way.
Mastery of Figma, with experience architecting libraries, not just consuming them.
Familiarity with engineering workflows (React, Storybook, token pipelines) and the ability to collaborate deeply with engineers.
Strong communication - the kind that brings clarity, structure, and calm to ambiguity.
Curiosity, craft pride, and a roll-your-sleeves-up attitude.
