Project Description:
We are looking for a Design Systems Lead for our client, one of the world's largest natural resource companies. The role will focus on establishing and evolving a unified design system across an enterprise-grade Commodity Trading & Risk Management (CTRM) platform built on multiple micro-frontends.
The platform (COMET) requires a single accountable expert to define, govern, and scale a consistent UI layer across teams. The successful candidate will ensure that design and implementation remain fully aligned by owning the end-to-end design system lifecycle, from Figma design standards to front-end component implementation.
This is a senior, hands-on individual contributor role with no direct reports, requiring strong expertise in both UX systems design and front-end engineering practices. The individual will act as the key authority for UI consistency, reuse, and design governance across multiple development teams.

- Own and evolve the enterprise design system including components, patterns, and design tokens
- Define and manage versioning, documentation standards, contribution model, and deprecation lifecycle for UI assets
- Improve and maintain the design token pipeline and ensure seamless design-to-code synchronization
- Expand and govern Storybook as the canonical component library for the platform
- Implement and enforce visual regression testing for UI consistency across releases
- Define and enforce UI Definition of Done, ensuring reuse of existing components and tokens
- Run intake, triage, and governance process ensuring teams prioritize reuse over duplication
- Enforce design system compliance through code reviews, linting rules, and onboarding standards
- Monitor, analyze, and report adoption metrics and UI drift to UX/UI Lead and Front-End Lead
- Collaborate closely with design, engineering, and platform teams to ensure alignment between UX vision and implementation
