About the Role
We’re looking for a highly skilled Graphic Designer with 7–10 years of experience and deep expertise in design systems, Figma, and designing for software, web, and mobile products. In this role, you’ll play a central part in developing and maintaining the GM Design System, including the creation of reusable components, documentation, and guidance—ensuring consistency, accessibility, and quality across our digital platforms.
You have an affinity towards modernism and bring strong systems thinking and a passion for scalable, well-documented design. Your craft is rooted in clarity, structure, and functionality—not just aesthetics—and you’re comfortable collaborating closely with engineers to ensure high-fidelity implementation.
You’ll work cross-functionally with teams building for vehicle OS, web, and mobile platforms, helping ensure that the design system remains unified and shared across experiences as much as possible—while still supporting platform-specific needs.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and maintain robust, reusable components and patterns within the GM Design System to ensure consistency and maintainability.
- Build and manage shared libraries in Figma, including UI kits, tokens, and documentation.
- Design component, guidance, and documentation pages for Figma UI Kit/s.
- Partner closely with front-end developers to ensure designs are implemented accurately and efficiently.
- Participate in grooming and sprint planning sessions to align system updates with development timelines.
- Create documentation, usage guidelines, and specs for system components.
- Ensure accessibility, scalability, and consistency across digital products.
- Collaborate with product designers, engineers, and brand teams across vehicle OS, web, and mobile to unify the system and encourage shared design language.
- Conduct audits and propose system enhancements based on product needs and user feedback.
- Advocate for best practices in systems design, tooling, and handoff workflows.
- Support and mentor a small design team (2–3 designers), fostering collaboration, professional growth.
