Evinovais a leading health tech company enabling global life sciences to accelerate better health outcomes, by creating AI-native digital health solutions for clinical research.

We are hiring a Senior UI/UX Designerto join the Futures Teamand lead thenextevolution ofthe EvinovaDesign SystemTheywillplay a critical roleinorchestratingan AI-first design system toserve as the foundation for rapid prototyping and high-velocity product development across the organization.

This role sits at the intersection of design and technology, requiring a technical-minded approach to design. You willoperatein close partnership with Design Engineering to close the gap between creative intent and technical implementation, moving beyond static libraries to createcanonical, code-aligned components that power both human and AI-driven workflows.

You willbe responsible forstructuring design tokens,componentprop surfaces, and patterns that are intelligible to generative AI and agentic models. You will influence system-level decisions, ensuring parity between Figma and our codebase, andestablishingthe structural rigor required to support next-generation tooling and design automation.

We'relooking for:

• Designers who leadthroughpractical example andinfluence: someone who can evangelize design system best practices across teams, build shared ownership with engineering and product, and co-lead cross-discipline governance to drive adoption at scale

• Systems thinkers who prioritize coherence, abstraction, and reuse, and who are comfortable designingcomponentmodels and composition patterns rather than isolated screens

• Technically minded designers who areexcited andwilling to engage with code-first approaches, understand howcomponentAPIs and design tokens work in implementation, and can structure Figma libraries to mirror the architecture of a real codebase

• Self-directed individuals who canidentifystructural gaps in processes and standards, propose governance improvements, and drive work forward with minimal oversight

• Designers who are curious and proactive about integrating generative and agentic AI into their workflow, not necessarily technical experts, but people who see AI enablement and automation as a design system concern, not just an engineering one.

​This role plays a foundational part in shaping how theEvinovaDesign Systemoperates, how design and engineering collaborate, and how weestablishthe governance structures needed to support scale, speed, and quality.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead cross-functional alignment between Design, Engineering, and Product teams toestablishshared standards, resolve systemic conflicts, and achieve consensus on architectural decisions.

• Drivethe evolution of Figma libraries to align with code-firstcomponentarchitecture, emphasizing composability and parity with the implemented system.

• Enable AI-assisted workflows by structuring the design system so it can support generative layouts, design-to-code translation, and rapid prototyping tools.

• Refactor components and patterns to improve reuse, composability, and automation across multiple products.

• Integrate WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility requirements directly intocomponentfoundations so compliance is inherited by default.

• Producecanonicalusage examples, documentation, and release notes that support both human understanding and machine-readable context for AI tooling.

• Perform design QA across Storybook and live environments tovalidatevisual fidelity against Figma and create detailed, actionable issues for engineering.

• Enable adoption of design system standards across product teams through working sessions, guidance, and validation of architectural decisions in real implementation contexts.

• Drive system adoption by supporting designers in effective usage and capturing feedback to inform roadmap priorities and future improvements.

Essential Skills/Experience

• Excellent leadership, collaboration, and storytelling skills, with the ability to influence cross-functional teams

• Expert Figma skills and familiarity with design tokens, branching, and variables

• Extensive hands-on experience in UX, UI, interaction design, and information architecture, withdemonstratedstrength in systems thinking and designing end-to-end experiences for complex, data- and workflow-driven digital products

• Deep experience building, evolving, and applying design systems in close collaboration with engineering to drive consistency, scalability, and delivery efficiency across products

• Demonstrated ability to align design artefacts with implementation models such as component APIs, slots, and composition patterns

• Demonstrated experience delivering WCAG 2.2 Level AA compliant products, embedding accessibility and inclusive design into everyday design practice

• Strong ability to synthesize quantitative and qualitative inputs, frame ambiguous problems, and make informed design decisions within technical, data, and regulatory constraints

• Comfortable working independently, navigating ambiguity, and owning complex design problems in B2B or B2B2C software environments

• Based in the Mississauga or Greater Toronto Area, with willingness to collaborate in office and travel as needed

• Ability tooperateat pace and navigate changes in scope and approach based on shifting market signals and customer demand

We also value:

• Experience in healthcare and/or digital health sectors

• Experience designing AI-native recommendation or simulation products in collaboration with data science and engineering partners

• Familiarity with clinical trials and the drug development lifecycle

• A non-linear career path and diverse life experiences that enrich your perspective as a designer

• A second language (and everyadditionallanguage is a plus)
