Job Details

Job#: 2084426

Job Description:

You'll evaluate and re?design content?focused components to bring them into harmony with our evolving retail design system. You'll work in Figma, translate atomic design principles (design tokens, semantic variables) into scalable UI, and craft elevated, inspirational interfaces.

Ideal Background

Contract or permanent designers with ~2-5 years of experience, ideally in retail or e?commerce brands.

Key Responsibilities

Audit and assess existing content?centric UI components and patterns for consistency, accessibility, and system alignment.

Restructure and recreate these components within the advanced retail design system framework.

Apply atomic design methodology: define and manage tokens, atoms, molecules, and organisms with semantic variables.

Elevate aesthetics: produce polished UI deliverables in Figma, aesthetic storytelling, and high fidelity prototypes.

Collaborate with content teams and Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) content fragments or similar platforms.

Required Skills & Experience

Strong track record (~2-5 years) in design system execution, especially in retail/e?commerce contexts.

Mastery of Figma: component libraries, variants, prototyping, design tokens and semantic variables.

Deep understanding of atomic design systems and scalable UI architecture.

Excellent visual design skills: typography, layout, grid, color, illustration integration.

Experience working with content systems (AEM, content fragments, Contentful, etc.) is a big plus.

Preferred Qualifications

Portfolio demonstrating system-based redesigns, component libraries, or content module work.

Experience translating content strategy into UI components.

Familiarity with accessibility, semantic markup, responsive and tokenized UI.

As a Product Designer I, you work closely with other product designers, product managers and software engineers

to deliver product experiences rooted in human-centered principles that support strategic priorities. You are an

active participant in the organization and delivery of high-quality products enabled through a lean product

development process including:

Team Forming

As part of a balanced team, you invest in learning and collaborating with product managers, software

engineering, and business partners. Team forming is an important aspect of aligning on your purpose, key

strengths, agreements, and ceremonies.

Discovery

Your process is rooted in problem solving frameworks, where you leverage mixed-methods research to

support identification and understanding of users (and systems), journeys, and top problems.

Experimentation

Learning is a critical part of your team culture, which allows you to create ways to validate the effectiveness of

the experience pre-launch through experimentation, prototype testing, A/B testing, usability testing, and so

forth.

Development

This is where everything comes together as your team commits to delivering an end-to-end experience.

Product designers leverage Homefield, our in-house design system, to communicate and pair with software

engineers throughout the development process.

Feedback

You relentlessly seek feedback from users through various channels, while understanding how to aggregate

and activate this feedback in meaningful ways within your team.

This is a fully remote position.

This role is not eligible for immigration sponsorship.
