At 6sense, we are looking for a highly skilled Staff Visual Designer who can shape the look and feel of our product portfolio through pragmatic but visually compelling components and pattern design. Suppose you have experience as the in-house leader of visual design for an enterprise design system. In that case, this is an exciting opportunity to make your mark on an existing but still-developing design system.
Our product designers are excited to design and document the functionality of base components, but we need an expert to help us turn those patterns into a beautiful system that aligns with our company branding.

- Help determine when new patterns are needed or redirect product teams if an existing pattern is preferred.
- Establish a system of design tokens and drive their use to maintain consistency across platforms.
- Ensure that design system components adhere to accessibility standards, optimizing inclusivity for all users.
- Conduct user research when necessary to validate design choices and iterate based on feedback.
- Create component documentation to support team-wide adoption.
- Work collaboratively with designers and engineers to develop components through a structured process.
- Partner with content writers to ensure consistency in tone, style, and clarity across all design system patterns.
- Work with product teams to ensure correct use of design system components, as needed.
- Collaborate with engineers to build and test components, ensuring accurate and high-quality implementation.

- Use of design tokens to maintain consistency across products
- Approach to accessibility.
Competencies and Behaviors
