About the role

We're looking for a Principal Product Designer to take our design system to its next stage across our multiple brands. This is a hands-on role with real ownership; you'll own the direction and be the final decision point for how the system scales across brands and connects into the AI tooling that's becoming core to how we design and build, thinking in systems that work for both designers and AI tools alike.

Most designers work partly in the Sydney or Melbourne Mable offices, and partly from home. Candidates who would work remotely from other Australian locations will be considered.

You'll work closely with our product designers across both HomeMade and Mable and our engineering teams. You'll also partner with our AI platform work to make sure the system is built in a way that AI tools can reliably consume and build from.

You will also be part of the Customer Experience team, working with and receiving support from design managers and other talented product designers.

What you'll do

What you'll do

Own and evolve the multi-brand design system across HomeMade and Mable, making the calls on structure, priority and direction

Design and maintain design tokens, components and patterns that scale consistently across both brands and across web and mobile

Establish and evolve how our design system connects to AI tooling, including Claude and Claude Code, so that AI-assisted design and development can reliably use accurate, up-to-date system components

Audit current component usage across both products, flag inconsistencies and drive consolidation where it makes sense

Write clear documentation and usage guidelines that make the system easy to adopt, for both designers and engineers

Partner closely with engineers to make sure design and code stay in sync, and that components are implemented and quality checked properly

Set and uphold governance for the design system, so it stays consistent as more people contribute to and use it

Lead the Design System Guild, a cross-functional group of product designers and engineers, to drive shared ownership and keep the system evolving with input from the people actually using it

Champion accessibility as a baseline, designing and documenting to WCAG 2.2 AA standards

Advocate for the design system's value across the org, and help other designers understand how to use and contribute to it well

Continuously improve the system based on feedback, usage data and how AI-assisted workflows are actually being used in practice

What you'll bring

8+ years as a product designer, with 4-5+ years specifically owning or heavily shaping a design system

A portfolio that shows strong systems thinking, not just individual product design, and reusable components across multiple products

Advanced Figma skills, including component libraries, variants, variables and design tokens

Experience working with a multi-brand or multi-product design system

Practical experience using AI tools like Claude in a design workflow, and genuine curiosity about how design systems and AI tooling should work together

Strong collaboration skills with engineering, with real experience getting components built and shipped, not just designed

Solid understanding of accessibility standards and how to apply them practically

Clear written communication, you'll need to document decisions and guidelines that other people can actually follow

Confidence making and owning decisions, this role needs someone who can drive the system forward, not just maintain what exists

Demonstrated experience operating with a high degree of autonomy, setting direction and making system-level decisions
