Key Responsibilities
- Component Crafting: Build out exhaustive variations of design components (buttons, forms, navigation, data tables) for desktop, tablet, and mobile breakpoints.
- Accessibility Implementation: Ensure every design iteration meets WCAG 2.1/2.2 standards, including focus states, high-contrast versions, and screen-reader-friendly layouts.
- Design System Maintenance: Work within our Figma library to maintain naming conventions and symbol consistency.
- Direct Collaboration: Partner daily with the Art Director to translate brand vision into functional UI specs.
- Documentation: Create clear handoff files for the engineering team, specifically keeping Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) constraints in mind.
- The Experience: You are likely an early-career designer or a recent grad with a portfolio that shows a deep understanding of grid systems, typography, and responsive logic.
- The Technicals: Expert-level proficiency in Figma. You should understand how to use Auto Layout and Components like a pro.
- The "Plus": If you have experience or familiarity with AEM (Adobe Experience Manager) components, you're at the top of our list.
- The Mindset: You are meticulous. You care about the difference between a 16px and 20px margin, and you're excited to learn the nuances of the financial services industry.
