Design Manager, Design Systems

Responsibilities

• Manage and mentor a team of 3-4 designers and design technologists, developing their technical skills, systems thinking, and ability to prioritize and deliver high-impact work
• Define and drive the roadmap for Atrium, Flatiron's design system, including component governance, breaking change management, and adoption across product teams
• Contribute directly to Atrium through code, documentation, and design, modeling the craft standards you set for your team
• Build and sustain cross-functional partnerships with engineering and product management to align on front-end standards, scalable UI patterns, and contribution models
• Communicate and prioritize design systems work based on org-wide impact, translating complex systems problems into a clear, sequenced backlog that stakeholders understand and trust
• At the end of your first year, success would mean Atrium is measurably adopted across core product surfaces, your team has a clear and trusted contribution model with partner engineering teams, and each direct report has grown meaningfully in their scope and ownership

Requirements

• You have led or significantly shaped a mature design system, including governance, documentation, contribution models, and breaking change processes
• You have managed or mentored 2-4 designers or technologists, with a track record of developing others' technical and strategic thinking
• Deep fluency in both design tooling (Figma, shared libraries, tokens) and front-end code (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and frameworks like React), with the ability to contribute meaningfully in both
• You are a skilled communicator who can translate design systems strategy for engineering stakeholders and front-end constraints for design stakeholders, building trust and alignment across both
• You are experienced working in health tech, enterprise software, or other complex product environments where consistency, accessibility, and reliability are non-negotiable
• You are familiar with AI-assisted design and development workflows - such as code generation or design-to-code tooling - and thoughtful about where they create real leverage for a systems team
• Where You'll Work
• In this hybrid role, you'll have a defined work location that includes work from home and 3 office days set by you and your team. For more information on our approach to hybrid work, please visit the how we work website.
