Figma

Summary

Figma Design Specialist

Rate: $52/hour

About the Role

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 seeking 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 operates at a technical level within Figma and understands how shared libraries, components, tokens, and publishing workflows function at scale.

What You ll Do

Design Systems & Library Work

Audit Figma workspace files and map 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, removing 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 migrated to the new account
Identify and manually resolve 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 downstream files receive updates correctly
Document all library decisions, known gaps, and structural changes for the broader 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 remain 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 a scalable, independent design system

Migration Execution

Conduct an early proof-of-concept: duplicate a low-complexity team, transfer it to a test workspace within a sandbox environment, and replicate the process for a library file; document findings before full migration
Coordinate with organizational admins for team-level transfers to the new enterprise account
Execute the migration in a sequenced manner that minimizes disruption to active design work
Perform full QA on the migrated environment prior to handoff, ensuring no broken references, missing libraries, or disconnected tokens

What You Bring

Required

Expert-level Figma proficiency, including deep understanding of files, libraries, components, variants, and publishing workflows
Hands-on experience managing or rebuilding shared Figma libraries, with a strong grasp of dependency propagation and failure points
Strong knowledge of design token architecture, including structure, mapping to Figma variables and styles, and validation
Experience using Figma s Swap Library feature in production environments
Ability to audit large, complex Figma ecosystems and independently identify structural dependencies
High attention to detail and a methodical approach to high-volume, high-impact work
Strong self-direction with the ability to execute independently from a brief

Strongly Preferred

Token Studio experience (setup, configuration, multi-brand token systems, and Figma variable integration)
Experience with Figma Enterprise administration (org settings, team structures, seat management, library permissions)
Prior experience with design system migrations, brand splits, or Figma organization transitions
Familiarity with multi-brand design systems and how shared foundations are extended into brand-specific implementations

Bonus

Proven experience migrating Figma environments across enterprise accounts
Knowledge of Figma plugins related to library management, bulk operations, or token tooling
Ability to clearly communicate technical decisions to design leadership

Context & Environment

You will partner with internal design teams who remain active in production throughout the migration
Two additional Technical Figma Designers will join in Month 1 and continue execution through Month 3 you will help onboard and guide their work sequencing
The migration is time-sensitive and aligned with external deadlines
This role requires independent thinking we are looking for someone who can assess the environment, define the approach, and execute with precision
