Job#: 3037141
Job Description:
Job Title: Figma Design Specialist
Location: Remote- Flexible hours but 9am CST is general start time
Duration: 3 months
Job Description:
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 looking for 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 lives in the technical side of Figma and understands how shared libraries, components, tokens, and publishing workflows fit together at scale.
Responsibilities:
Design Systems & Library Work
Audit Figma workspace files and map the 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 - stripping 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 re-homed in the new account
Identify and manually resolve any 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 all downstream files are receiving updates correctly
Document all library decisions, known gaps, and structural changes for the ongoing 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 are 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 an independent design system going forward
Migration Execution
Run a proof of concept test early in the engagement: duplicate a low-lift team, transfer it to a test workspace within a provided sandbox, and repeat for a library file - document findings before full migration begins
Coordinate with org admins on the team-level transfer to the new Enterprise account
Work through the migration in a sequenced order that minimizes disruption to active design work
QA the full migrated environment before handoff - confirm no broken references, missing libraries, or disconnected tokens remain
Requirements:
Expert-level Figma proficiency - you know the platform deeply, including how files, libraries, components, variants, and publishing workflows interact
Hands-on experience managing or rebuilding Figma shared libraries - you understand how library changes propagate and what breaks when they don't
Strong working knowledge of design token architecture - how tokens are structured, how they map to Figma variables and styles, and how to validate connections
Experience with Figma's Swap Library feature - you've used it in a real context, not just experimented with it
Ability to audit large, complex Figma file systems and identify structural dependencies without being told where to look
Detail-oriented and methodical - comfortable doing high-volume, precise reconnection work where mistakes have downstream consequences
Self-sufficient day-to-day - you can take a brief and run with it without needing constant direction
Strongly Preferred:
Token Studio experience - setup, configuration, multi-brand token sets, and connection to Figma variables
Experience with Figma Enterprise tier administration - org settings, team structure, seat management, library sharing settings
Prior work on a design system migration, brand split, or Figma org transition
Familiarity with multi-brand design systems - understanding how a shared foundation gets forked into brand-specific implementations
Bonus: You've done this before - moved a Figma environment from one enterprise account to another and know where the bodies are buried
Figma plugin knowledge relevant to library management, bulk operations, or token tooling. And comfortable presenting findings and decisions to design leadership in plain language
