How you can help make a better world of work

The Design System Team is critical in unifying the experience and user interface across our products into a single cohesive platform. Our Design System, Kaizen, is well-established and adopted across all our product teams. However, as our platform and organisation have grown, so has our need to evolve our Design System and approach.

As the Senior Product Manager on the Design System Team, you will be responsible for driving our Design System transformation. This includes building out the strategic direction and turning it into an actionable roadmap of components, tooling, principles, enablement and support to ensure our product teams feel set up to efficiently deliver quality user interfaces for our wide range of customers and users.

To be successful in transforming the Design System you will need to possess an open and collaborative mindset.

You’ll need to be comfortable working out loud to build connections across the Product Group, leveraging relationships and processes to understand the needs of our cross-functional product teams. This will inform your priorities for building an impactful roadmap. 

Within the Design System Team, you will be responsible for cultivating a sense of purpose and vision whilst focusing on delivering value to our internal product teams. To close the loop on execution you will need to bring visibility to our plans and celebrate the work as it is delivered.

• Guide the strategic direction and execution roadmap that enable all of our product teams to efficiently deliver high-quality and cohesive user interfaces
