📋 Description

• 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.

🎯 Requirements

• Expert-level Figma proficiency: You know the platform deeply, including how files, libraries, components, variants, and publishing workflows interact. • Hands-on library management: Experience managing or rebuilding Figma shared libraries. You understand how library changes propagate and what breaks when they don’t. • Design Token architecture: Strong working knowledge of design token architecture—how tokens are structured, how they map to Figma variables and styles, and how to validate connections. • Figma Swap Library: Direct experience using Figma’s Swap Library feature in a real-world enterprise context, not just experimenting with it. • System Auditing: Ability to audit large, complex Figma file systems and identify structural dependencies without being told where to look. • Detail-oriented & Methodical: Comfort doing high-volume, precise reconnection work where mistakes have severe downstream consequences. • Self-sufficient: You can take an ambiguous brief and run with it day-to-day without needing constant direction.
