Principal Experience Designer - Visual Design & Design Systems

Job Overview

workiva. com/latam/ Workiva is looking for a Principal Experience Designer to shape the visual future of Unify, our enterprise design system.

Unify powers the components, patterns, templates, accessibility standards, and shared experiences used across Workiva’s B2B platform. This is a dual-focus principal role.

Job Description

The remaining 30–40% will focus on high-visibility visual work for major conferences, marketing partnerships, and executive audiences. That work is not separate from the system, it’s part of the broader ecosystem of design in which Unify lives.

What you’ll do Define and evolve Unify’s visual language across typography, color, spacing, iconography, motion, and brand expression.

Partner with the components sub-team and the patterns and templates sub-team to ensure visual design is applied consistently and intentionally across every asset.

Key Responsibilities

• Roughly 60–70% of your time will be spent leading Unify’s visual design direction: evolving its visual language, shaping token architecture, and creating the reference designs and guidance that help teams build consistently.
• You will bring exceptional visual craft, strong systems thinking, and a practical point of view on how design systems need to evolve for AI-assisted design and prototyping.
• Maintain a scalable, semantic token architecture that supports consistent experiences across products and over time.
• Lead visual design for select high-stakes moments, including major conferences, executive presentations, product vision work, and marketing partnerships.
• Strong ability to create compelling product narratives for senior leaders and high-visibility audiences.
• Experience building reference sites, design-system documentation, or machine-readable design guidance.
• With an unbroken path from source to output, leaders gain confidence in their numbers, visibility into current and emerging risks, and the ability to move with speed and precision in a constantly changing world.
• Workiva supports employees in working where they work best - either from an office or remotely from any location within their country of employment.
