This position may be considered for a Remote or Hybrid (known internally at Target as "Flex for Your Day") work arrangement based on Target's needs. A Remote work arrangement means the team member works full-time from home or an alternate location that's not a Target location, does not have a desk at a Target location and may travel to HQ up to 4 times a year. A Hybrid/Flex for Your Day work arrangement means the team member's core role may be performed either remote or onsite at a Target location depending upon what your role, team and tasks require for that day. Work duties cannot be performed outside of the country of the primary work location, unless otherwise prescribed by Target. ## Description As a Lead UX Designer on our Design Systems team, you'll help shape the future of Target's digital experiences across guest and team member products. Our design systems power experiences across platforms, enabling product teams to create consistent, accessible, and scalable solutions with greater speed and quality. You will lead the creation and evolution of reusable components, patterns, documentation, and governance that enable teams to build exceptional experiences. As product creation evolves through AI-assisted workflows, prompt-based interfaces, and emerging builder tools, you'll help ensure our design systems remain structured, scalable, and ready to support both human and machine consumers. This role combines systems thinking, design craft, and technical partnership. You'll work closely with designers, engineers, product teams, and platform partners to create robust design system foundations while helping shape how those systems are consumed through modern development workflows, automation, and AI-enabled experiences. Responsibilities : * Partner with designers, engineers, product managers, and platform teams toidentify, prioritize, and deliver reusable components and patterns that drive consistency, efficiency, accessibility, and adoption across products. * Lead the creation and evolution of components and patterns in Figma, ensuring alignment with code, design tokens, accessibility standards, governance practices, and emerging AI-enabled workflows. Create system assets that can be effectively consumed by both humans and machines. * Create andmaintaindocumentation, usage guidance, metadata, implementation standards, and educational resources that help teams successfully adopt the system while supporting automation, tooling, and machine-readable consumption. * Collaborate closely with engineering partners to ensure system assets are accurately represented in code and support modern development workflows across platforms. * Contribute to the evolution of design system governance and architecture, ensuring the systemremainsscalable, maintainable, and adaptable as product creation evolves. * Evaluate emerging technologies, tooling, and AI-assisted workflows, and help teams adopt new ways of working through education, mentorship, andadvocacy forsystems thinking. ## Related Videos - [Beyond the 9–5: Designing Work Around Humans](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1321-beyond-the-9-5-designing-work-around-humans) - [Boost Productivity with AI: Figma & Playwright MCP Workflows - Aris Markogiannakis](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1768-boost-productivity-with-ai-figma-playwright-mcp-workflows-aris-markogiannakis) - [A Data Mesh needs Open Metadata](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/505-a-data-mesh-needs-open-metadata) - [Xcode development redefAIned](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100195-xcode-development-redefained) - [Bridging the Gap](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/794-bridging-the-gap) - [Designing the Future of Human<>Agent Collaboration](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1447-designing-the-future-of-human-agent-collaboration) ## Related Articles - [Remote, Hybrid, or In-Office: What’s Really Best for Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/638-remote-hybrid-or-in-office-what-s-really-best-for-developers) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [The future is here: How artificial intelligence is influencing UX design](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/65-the-future-is-here-how-artificial-intelligence-is-influencing-ux-design) - [Are design and development really just the same thing?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/520-are-design-and-development-really-just-the-same-thing) - [16 Best Free React UI Libraries in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/148-16-best-free-react-ui-libraries-in-2025) - [Declarative Design and a fresh take on collaboration with developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/595-declarative-design-and-a-fresh-take-on-collaboration-with-developers)
