Aon Corporation is seeking a design systems-minded UX/UI Designer to help lead the next generation of their insurance e-commerce platform. The role involves maintaining a robust component library, leading technical processes for AI tools, and ensuring accessibility in design, bridging the gap between product concepts and developer handoff.
Responsibilities:
- Maintain and evolve a robust component library for 50+ insurance e-commerce sites
- Modify the architecture of our Design Tokens (color, spacing, typography), ensuring that every asset is grounded in a Semantic Layer that aligns with our engineering team’s code and our global design system
- Build and refine responsive components using our Design System which is based on principles of Material Design, ensuring high-readability and visual hierarchy
- Lead the technical process of 'priming' Figma Make and other generative tools on our specific design language
- Ensure that the AI understands our Semantic Tokens, allowing it to generate layouts that are 'system-aware' and structurally sound before they are reviewed or integrated into active projects
- Execute the full design lifecycle, from structural wireframing to high-fidelity prototyping
- Demonstrate a deep understanding of information architecture, ensuring that complex insurance data is presented with a minimal 'economy of words' to reduce user cognitive load
- Act as the technical bridge for Product Managers, training them to use AI-assisted design tools for conceptual 'vibe-coding.'
- Leverage our Semantic Layer to empower PMs to iterate rapidly while ensuring their output remains tethered to our actual design tokens, allowing for seamless developer handoff
- Produce 'developer-ready' documentation that goes beyond static screens
- Define interaction states, variable logic, and responsive breakpoints, ensuring that the engineering team has a clear, executable blueprint that maps directly to our Design Token architecture
- Integrate WCAG compliance into the core of every component
- Advocate for accessible hierarchies and plainspoken UI, ensuring our digital products are usable by everyone and avoid deceptive 'dark patterns' in the insurance journey
Requirements:
- 5+ years of professional UX/UI design experience, specifically within complex, data-driven environments (Insurance, FinTech, or SaaS)
- Experience with Form Design
- Deep proficiency in Figma and a working knowledge of Figma Make
- Proven experience managing or contributing to large-scale Design Systems
- Strong communication skills with the ability to 'sell' a vision to PMs and senior leadership
- Figma Power User: You are an expert in Auto Layout, Variables, Components, and the latest Figma AI/Make features
- Prompt Engineer: You understand how to structure prompts (Task, Context, Constraints) to get predictable, high-quality results from generative UI tools
- Educator at Heart: You enjoy breaking down complex tools into simple workflows for non-designers
- Systems Thinker: You see a design system not as a static file, but as a living set of rules that can be automated and scaled
- Preference will be given to candidates in CST/EST Zones
