- You’ll contribute to Frontify’s design system through components, interaction patterns, principles, and documentation that raise consistency and craft across teams.
- You’ll partner closely with product and engineering to make technically complex capabilities feel approachable, useful, and well-designed.
- You’ll guide designers across teams, helping them make strong design decisions, align to the broader product direction, and balance systems thinking with refined execution.

- You’re comfortable designing for complex product areas such as DAM, CMS, developer platforms, APIs, integrations, workflow tools, brand management, or enterprise software.
