Here's what the opportunity supported through our TEKsystems Global Services (TGS) Talent Acquisition Team requires:

Position Overview

One North is seeking an experienced Product Design Lead who blends product thinking with design system expertise. You will craft enterprise web and mobile experiences that are research-informed, brand-aligned, and engineered for scale. As a member of our multi-disciplinary Design team, you will own end-to-end product design work, steward design systems, and partner closely with engineering and product to deliver measurable business outcomes.

This role will ideally be based in the Chicago area, but we are open to remote locations across the U.S.

Responsibilities

Lead product design for enterprise web and mobile applications from discovery through delivery, translating research into user flows, wireframes, high-fidelity mockups, and interactive prototypes.

Drive research-informed decisions by synthesizing user research, usability testing, analytics, and stakeholder input into clear design direction and prioritized product improvements.

Design and iterate high-fidelity interfaces optimized for multiple devices, form factors, and accessibility requirements.

Own design system strategy and execution: evaluate, evolve, and operationalize component libraries, tokens, patterns, and documentation to ensure consistency, scalability, and developer handoff quality.

Maintain Figma governance: organize workspaces, files, libraries, components, and versioning; define naming conventions, branching workflows, and contribution guidelines.

Collaborate across disciplines: partner with researchers, product managers, engineers, QA, and client stakeholders to align on scope, feasibility, and delivery timelines.

Facilitate workshops and presentations: lead client working sessions, design reviews, and roadmap conversations; present original work and rationale to stakeholders.

Measure and iterate: define success metrics for design changes, run experiments or usability tests, interpret results, and iterate efficiently.

Mentor and oversee the work of Product Designers and Senior Product Designers.

Serve as Lead subject matter expert with client stakeholders.

When packing your bags, please bring:

Proven track record designing enterprise web and mobile products with high-fidelity deliverables and measurable impact

Expert command of Figma, including Auto Layout, Variables, Dev Mode, advanced prototyping, component variants, and library management

System architecture playbook that defines component boundaries, token strategy, responsive rules, and accessibility constraints aligned to product goals

Developer-ready handoff artifacts, including code references and collaboration patterns, that enable engineering to implement components reliably

Governance plan with contribution workflows, release cadence, and changelogs that balances consistency with product flexibility

Design-ops toolkit to streamline Figma libraries, automate repetitive tasks, and boost team efficiency with templates, plugins, and documentation

Outcome-first approach that prioritizes system work to reduce engineering effort, accelerate design velocity, and improve user metrics

Self-starter mentality to push the vision for our clients

Collaborative mindset that thrives in multi-disciplinary teams, including Client Services, Strategy, and Technology

Your weapons (wield them wisely):

8 or more years of product and design systems experience in-house, at a consultancy, or in an agency environment

Deep understanding of design systems, including tokens, components, documentation, versioning, and cross-team governance

Strong accessibility expertise with practical experience applying WCAG guidelines to product interfaces

Solid technical literacy in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript concepts and responsive design patterns (coding not required)

Experience working in Agile product teams and familiarity with common UX inquiry methods such as usability testing and moderated research

Exceptional visual design skills, including typography, color, layout, and interaction design

Excellent communication and collaboration skills with the ability to present design rationale to technical and non-technical stakeholders

Portfolio that demonstrates strategic thinking, complex problem solving, and polished, production-ready UI work

High standards for craft and attention to detail

Dedication to following industry best practices and trends
