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 work flows fit to getheratscale. Key Responsibilities:Audit Figma workspace files and map the shared library dependencies, component references, and token connections across Patterns, Recipes, Templates, and working filesDesign Systems & Library WorkLead the duplication and restructuring of the Foundations library into a brand-specific version — stripping non-applicable assets while maintaining component naming integrityExecute Figma's Swap Library feature across the full file set to reconnect components after the Foundations library is re-homed in the new accountIdentify and manually resolve any components that cannot be automatically matched during the swap — including renamed, deleted, or structurally changed assetsValidate the published state of all Patterns, Recipes, and Template libraries post-migration to ensure all downstream files are receiving updates correctlyDocument all library decisions, known gaps, and structural changes for the ongoing design teamToken & Variable Work:Set up Token Studio in the new Figma account and connect it to a brand-specific token setValidate that all token connections are intact post-migration — colors, typography, spacing, and component-level tokensIdentify and resolve broken or mismatched token references across migrated filesEnsure the token architecture supports an independent design system going forwardMigration 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 beginsCoordinate with org admins on the team-level transfer to the new Enterprise accountWork through the migration in a sequenced order that minimizes disruption to active design workQA the full migrated environment before hand off — confirm no broken references, missing libraries, or disconnected tokens remainRequired Skills:Expert-level Figma proficiency — you know the platform deeply, including how files, libraries, components, variants, and publishing workflows interactHands-on experience managing or rebuilding Figma shared libraries — you understand how library changes propagate and what breaks when they don'tStrong working knowledge of design token architecture — how tokens are structured, how they map to Figma variables and styles, and how to validate connectionsExperience with Figma's Swap Library feature — you've used it in a real context, not just experimented with itAbility to audit large, complex Figma file systems and identify structural dependencies without being told where to lookDetail-oriented and methodical — comfortable doing high-volume, precise reconnection work where mistakes have downstream consequencesSelf-sufficient day-to-day — you can take a brief and run with it without needing constant directionStrongly Preferred:Token Studio experience — setup, configuration, multi-brand token sets, and connection to Figma variablesExperience with Figma Enterprise tier administration — org settings, team structure, seat management, library sharing settingsPrior work on a design system migration, brand split, or Figma org transitionFamiliarity with multi-brand design systems — understanding how a shared foundation gets forked into brand-specific implementationsBonus:You've done this before — moved a Figma environment from one enterprise account to another and know where the bodies are buriedFigma plugin knowledge relevant to library management, bulk operations, or token toolingComfortable presenting findings and decisions to design leadership in plain languageContext & Environment:You'll work alongside internal design teams who are active in production throughout the migrationTwo additional Technical Figma Designers will join the engagement in month one and carry execution work through month three — you'll help orient them and keep the work sequencedThe migration is time-sensitive with external deadlinesThis is not a role where you'll be told exactly what to do. We need someone who can assess the environment, identify the right approach, and execute with precision.To discuss this amazing opportunity, reach out to our Talent Acquisition Specialist Sampada Rokde at email address Sampada.Rokde@generistek.com can be reached on # 630-576-1038.
