Design System Lead
ZopaThe Experience Design team is responsible for shaping the end-to-end customer experience across Zopa’s products. Within the team, the Design Systems function provides the foundations that allow product teams to move quickly while delivering consistent, high quality experiences.
We’ve recently rebuilt our design system as part of our move to native, giving us a strong foundation for the future rather than a large legacy estate to untangle. This role is an opportunity to lead that next phase. You’ll own the design system as a strategic platform, helping us scale delivery, improve consistency, strengthen governance and unlock new ways of working through AI-assisted design and development.
You’ll lead a small team and work closely with Product, Engineering and Design leaders to ensure the design system becomes a core enabler of how Zopa builds products in the years ahead.
A day in the life:
-
Lead and develop a team consisting of a Design Systems Designer and Motion Designer
-
Define and evolve the governance, processes and operating model for Zopa’s design system
-
Partner closely with Mobile Engineering to ensure design and code systems remain aligned
