Job Description

　　We Are

　　We’re a team of 50+ User Experience professionals at Oracle NetSuite working on the foundational elements of the NetSuite product experience. We’re part of a larger community of 250 Experience Designers, Content Designers, UI and Visual Designers, Researchers, Technical Writers, Videographers, Design Strategists and connected professionals across Oracle NetSuite. We collaborate closely with the central Oracle design group under Hillel Cooperman and Jenny Lam and are leading users and interpreters of – and contributors to – Oracle’s award-winning Redwood design system.

　　What We're Looking For

　　The ideal candidate will be a mixture of design system specialist, team builder and manager, and valued and influential partner to teams and senior stakeholders across the business.

　　We’re especially keen to talk to candidates with strong front-end development awareness and plenty of experience working hand-in-hand with engineering on the rollout and ongoing management of design system elements. You will lead the connection between design and front-end development at NetSuite and you’ll be a key member of the leadership group liaising on longer-term design system strategy with the Oracle Redwood team. We look forward to hearing stories of your experiences in similar roles, the good, the bad and the ugly! You will have operational support from the Design Ops and Design Systems Enablement teams, but a strong operational mindset will come in handy alongside your design leadership skills.

　　This is an exciting and challenging role. You’ll get the chance to share your ideas and work with an amazing group of product people across the globe. You'll contribute to Oracle’s award-winning enterprise design system “Redwood” and help bring our vision to redefine the user experience for business applications at NetSuite to its 37,000 customers.

　　You oversee processes to understand needs from teams using the design system elements, across a variety of devices and areas, while weeding out unnecessary complexity.

　　You have a balanced focus on both the discovery and delivery of the design system, on longer term strategy and short term tactical operations.
