You will join Deezer's Product & Tech organisation of 200 people, including a design team of 11 designers. As Design System Manager, you will own, evolve, and champion Tempo — Deezer's design system. This is a role for someone who wants to do both build and run — working on the structural choices that shape the system, while actively driving its adoption across the organisation.

Phase 1 — Clean the System

Bring Figma libraries to a stable, well-structured, fully documented state
Support, update or establish (if need be) manual processes: contribution flow, deprecation, icon addition, release notes, and support
Define and track health metrics for adoption and system coverage
Lay the governance foundations: office hours, onboarding, DS champions across teams
Re-align the design team around shared conventions and best practices, to restore consistency across workstreams

Phase 2 — Scale the System

Connect Tempo to Brand, CRM, and Marketing — ensuring coherence beyond the product surface
Set up onboarding and ongoing education for contributors (training, office hours, playground files)
Automate processes by leveraging the Figma API: release notes, doc sync, parity checks
Build a Content System for copy and tone-of-voice patterns
Enable AI-assisted prototyping using clean Tempo components
Explore tools like Dust AI and Code Connect to reduce manual overhead and enable fast vibe-coding workflows on a public, code-connected DS repo

Hard Skills

8+ years in design systems, product design, or design engineering
Deep Figma expertise — variables, auto-layout, component architecture, library management, Code Connect
Experience writing clear, structured component documentation
Familiarity with Figma API, webhooks, or automation scripting
Ability to understand technical aspects (design tokens, Compose/Swift/React)
Experience with AI prototyping or LLM-assisted design workflows is a strong plus

Soft Skills

Strategic thinker: able to establish a vision for the design system and get stakeholders to buy into it
Strong cross-functional communicator — fluent in both design and engineering conversations
Autonomous and ownership-oriented
Clear and proactive communicator who brings structure and clarity to ambiguous topics
Rigorous and structured — builds processes that scale, not just components
Pedagogue: writes docs people actually read, and brings teams along
Comfortable operating without direct reports while having influence

Note: sharing a portfolio or case studies that demonstrate your impact is mandatory to apply.
