About This Role

As a Senior Visual Designer on the Design Systems team at Pearson, you will play a critical role in establishing a unified design system across Pearson's Higher Education product portfolio. Your work will directly influence product teams across Pearson as they build the next generation of learning experiences.

Responsibilities

  • Design high-fidelity UI components, patterns, and templates in Figma for our unified design system, establishing visual standards for typography, color, iconography, spacing, and layout across web and mobile platforms
  • Redesign key screens and user flows for Pearson's learning platforms, demonstrating how design system components combine to create cohesive product experiences for both students and instructors in our agentic learning platforms
  • Craft micro-interactions, transitions, and motion specifications with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring every interaction feels responsive and intentional
  • Partner with Creative Technologists to ensure your designs translate effectively into code (I.E. React components in Storybook), participating in visual QA and implementation review
  • Imagine the next generation of interaction patterns and contexts like voice user interfaces and multi-modal interactions (AR/VR) that support our product vision well into the future

Requirements

  • 5-7 years of visual design experience with a portfolio demonstrating UI design for component-based systems
  • Expert proficiency in Figma (components, variants, auto-layout, libraries)
  • Strong foundation in typography, color theory, hierarchy, and composition with ability to think in scalable patterns rather than one-off executions
  • Collaborative mindset with clear communication skills and receptiveness to feedback
  • Proactive, outcome-oriented approach that balances creative exploration with systematic rigor

Qualifications

  • 5-7 years of visual design experience with a portfolio demonstrating UI design for component-based systems
