Senior Designer, Design Practice

GovTech

Responsibilities

  • Navigate conversations with design leads and product teams to surface gaps, spot wins, and shape what gets standardised.
  • Synthesise what’s working across teams, partnering with design leaders to document and share patterns that raise quality.
  • Drive the design portal forward as the place designers go for standards, best practices, and learning materials.
  • Work on how design quality is measured across the government, building frameworks that make impact visible and learnable across the community.
  • Drive the execution on the strategic direction for a GovTech-wide design system.

Why You’d Join

  • Shape the standards and systems that every designer at GovTech builds on, working at a level where your decisions compound across dozens of teams and products.
  • Broaden your practice across design systems, organisational design, and practice leadership, moving beyond project-level work to influence how design operates.
  • Work directly with the head of design practice and design leaders across GovTech, with visibility into how design is shaped at the organisational level.
  • Be part of a small central team where your ideas have room to become reality, without the layers that slow things down in larger organisations.

[What we are looking for]

  • 6+ years of experience building or contributing to design systems that scale across multiple teams or products.
  • A keen interest in how design moves the needle at an organisational level, not just within a single project.
  • Natural instinct for spotting what should be documented, standardised, or shared across teams.
  • Ease working across functions and seniority levels, from design leads to practitioners building the work.
  • Preferred background: hands-on experience shaping tooling decisions, team structures, or practice-level initiatives.
  • GovTech is an equal opportunity employer committed to fostering an inclusive workplace that values diverse voices and perspectives, as we believe it is key to innovation.
  • Our employee benefits are based on a total rewards approach, offering a holistic and market-competitive suite of perks.
  • We champion flexible work arrangements (subject to your job role) and trust you to manage your time to deliver your best.
