Design System Manager at 360learning (Paris, France)

Our Product Design team brings together Product Designers who, beyond their product scope, actively contribute to maintaining and evolving our Design System across platforms.

To scale the quality, consistency, and efficiency of our platform experience, we are hiring a Design System Manager who will own the functional and technical scope of the Design System. This role works closely with Product squads, partnering with designers on component design and with engineers on implementation and migration. It is a highly collaborative and coordination-driven position, ensuring alignment across Product and Engineering while turning design intent into an industrialized, scalable, and continuously improving system, aligned with Product and Engineering.

“At the intersection of design, engineering, and automation, this role makes high-quality product experiences scalable by default.” — Claire Gautier, Head of Design linkedin.com/in/clairegautier

Within 1 month, you will:

Complete onboarding and understand the product, design principles, and Convexity model
Audit the current Design System (components, tokens, tooling, adoption, migrations)
Identify where the Design System creates or blocks product impact today
Map stakeholders, ownership, and decision paths across Design, Product, and Engineering

Within 3 months, you will:

Own a clear, prioritized Design System roadmap driven by product impact and engineering constraints
Run an operational delivery flow for components and tokens (design → implementation)
Define prioritization criteria (product roadmap, usage in prod, technical constraints)
Define and track baseline Design System KPIs (adoption, usage, migration progress, contributions)
Set up working rituals to prepare roadmap ownership

Within 6 months, you will:

Show a measurable increase in Design System adoption in priority product areas
Operate a clear governance model with ownership, contribution rules, and rituals in use
Run documentation and audit processes for core components
Have first AI-assisted workflows live reducing manual Design System work

Within 12 months, you will:

Demonstrate sustained product impact from the Design System (speed, consistency, quality)
Scale automation and AI-assisted workflows across platforms
Make Design System prioritization, adoption, and governance fully embedded in Product and Engineering ways of working

The Skill Set:

6+ years of experience working on or closely with Design Systems in a product environment
Ability to define and own a long-term Design System direction, with a focus on scalability and sustainability
Experience evolving fragmented or partially adopted systems into reliable, widely used platforms
Hands-on experience with design tokens, multi-platform components, and Figma libraries at scale
Familiarity with automation workflows (token pipelines, documentation, component lifecycle tooling)
Interest or experience in using AI-assisted tools for documentation, audits, accessibility, or design-to-code workflows
Good understanding of component-based development (e.g. React, SwiftUI, Jetpack Compose) and Git-based collaboration
Experience collaborating closely with Engineering to navigate trade-offs and support high-quality implementation
Working knowledge of accessibility standards (WCAG and/or RGAA) and how to apply them in systems
Fluent English (US/UK) / B2 level or equivalent (FR)
