Who you are

- Maintain and govern Design System Figma libraries, ensuring alignment with production code, supporting evolving product needs, and providing guidance to designers and engineers through documentation, collaboration, and dedicated support channels
- Partner with design leadership, product designers, and engineers to translate complex requirements into thoughtful system solutions, balancing visual craft, accessibility, technical feasibility, localization, and platform-specific considerations
- Contribute to Design System roadmap planning by identifying opportunities to improve the designer, developer, and member experience, incorporating cross-functional feedback, and leveraging AI and emerging tools to accelerate workflows
- Champion design excellence and accessibility by ensuring new system elements meet WCAG 2.2 AA standards, sharing expertise, and helping elevate the quality, consistency, and craft of product experiences across WHOOP
Our take
WHOOP develops wearable health-tracking devices designed to help athletes optimise their performance. Its technology continuously monitors recovery, sleep, and training hours to fine-tune both individual and team performance. Unlike competitors that primarily track exercise data, WHOOP's holistic approach includes metrics like heart rate variability, which can influence more effective and healthier exercise routines.
By focusing on a subscription model that includes the cost of the physical device, WHOOP differentiates itself from competitors that charge a higher one-time fee for their products. This model provides ongoing value and encourages users to stay engaged with their health data.
WHOOP's comprehensive monitoring of strain and recovery has given it a competitive edge, even as other brands like Fitbit have incorporated similar features. Beyond sports performance, WHOOP has conducted extensive research on predicting premature births, aiming to integrate these findings into its app. This commitment to broader health applications demonstrates WHOOP's dedication to advancing wearable health technology.
