Technical Design System Lead

About the role

At T&F scale, design quality depends on the system designers work within. A well-governed design system enables consistency, accessibility, and speed; a neglected one creates technical debt and fragmentation. The Technical Design System Lead owns this infrastructure, treating it as a product with a roadmap, contribution model, and adoption strategy.

What you'll do

• Define what enters the system, how it's built, documented, and used across design and engineering
• Ensure the system evolves alongside T&F's platform transformation
• Design System Strategy & Roadmap
• Establish a clear vision for the design system: its purpose, scope, and governing principles for growth
• Track and report on system health, adoption rates, component coverage, accessibility compliance, and the ratio of system-compliant to bespoke implementations

What you need

• Design systems
• Figma
• React
• Accessibility
