About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

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.
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.
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 documenting 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 confirming no broken references, missing libraries, or disconnected tokens remain.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Expert-level Figma proficiency: You know the platform deeply, including how files, libraries, components, variants, and publishing workflows interact.
Hands-on library management: Experience managing or rebuilding Figma shared libraries. You understand how library changes propagate and what breaks when they don’t.
Design Token architecture: Strong working knowledge of design token architecture—how tokens are structured, how they map to Figma variables and styles, and how to validate connections.
Figma Swap Library: Direct experience using Figma’s Swap Library feature in a real-world enterprise context, not just experimenting with it.
System Auditing: Ability to audit large, complex Figma file systems and identify structural dependencies without being told where to look.
Detail-oriented & Methodical: Comfort doing high-volume, precise reconnection work where mistakes have severe downstream consequences.
Self-sufficient: You can take an ambiguous brief and run with it day-to-day without needing constant direction.
