Full Job Description

## What You'll Do 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. ## What You'll Bring Expert-level Figma proficiency: You know the platform deeply, including how files, libraries, components, variants, and publishing workflows interact.
