Design System Lead

Mercell is going through an exciting transformation these days, and we are looking for you who are curious and up for a challenge. You will be a central part in a growing Design community, a cross-European team - improving and evolving services with big impact in the daily lives of thousands of people.

Who are you?

We are looking for a person that is curious about exploring new, fun and intuitive ways to create the best user experience and an easy-to-use design system. You thrive when you get to use your skills and insights to optimize and shape the experience - to ensure that our users are in the front and center.

To succeed in this role we believe you need to be creative, structured, open for input and have good knowledge of accessibility principles. This role facilitates and initiates collaboration between the rest of the designers, so collaboration skills are key.



Tasks and Responsibilities

You will be working in a multidisciplinary team, responsible for development and improvement of our Mercell Design System. You need to have a tight collaboration with UX Designers across teams and make sure the design system empowers them to create the best services possible. Ensuring consistency, accessibility and WCAG compliance are key areas of focus for this role.

Leading our Design System also means you will be key in the ongoing development of our Mercell brand. Mercell got a new face in February of 2021, so there is still plenty of opportunity to make a mark.

Some of your common tasks and responsibilities will be:

- Leading the continued development of our design system and brand
- Collaboration in the design system team
- Collaboration with the design team
- Create and iterate on system components
- Ensure consistency
- Ensure our components meets WCAG compliance requirements
- Testing
