Experience System Governance

• Help maintain scalable template architecture and component specifications.
• Stress-test templates against dynamic and edge-case content scenarios.
• Validate structured content against template requirements.
• Identify recurring inconsistencies and recommend system-level improvements.
• Ensure consistent application of templates, components, and design tokens.

Content Model & AI Readiness

• Collaborate with Design and Content teams to validate structured content models.
• Support CMS authoring validation and governance.
• Evaluate templates and content structures for AI readiness and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO).
• Identify risks created by AI-assisted publishing and content flexibility.

Design System Partnership

• Serve as the primary liaison between the .com team, Enterprise Design System team, and Front-End Engineering.
• Translate experience requirements into design system contribution requests.
• Ensure design system updates are correctly implemented across web experiences.
• Communicate the impact of design system changes to stakeholders.
• Escalate cross-system conflicts when appropriate.

Required Qualifications

Experience

• 4-6 years of experience in UX Design, Product Design, Design Systems, Design QA, or related disciplines.
• Experience with template systems, design-to-development handoffs, and accessibility validation.
• Working knowledge of WCAG 2.2 AA standards and accessibility best practices.
• Understanding of experience systems, reusable page models, component libraries, and design tokens.
• Experience working with structured content models and CMS-driven experiences.
• Proven ability to collaborate with Engineering, Product, and Content teams.

Skills
