Design System Designer

ING’s purpose is to enable people to “do their thing” and empower them to stay a step ahead in life and in business. We are one of the largest banks in Europe and we continuously evolve to become one of the most innovative companies in the banking sector.  With the ambition to become the most loved bank in every country that we are active in.

ING invests in a ‘scalable bank’ strategy so that we can serve these multiple markets, segments and countries as efficiently as possible. Scalable means that we build things once, nail it and then scale it. In order to make that work, we have to ensure the user experience is aligned across all channels. Our champions league level design system (Orange Juice) is a critical enabler for this unified experience.

• Advocate for consistency and quality across platforms while aligning with ING’s brand guidelines

• Strengthen and promote design system adoption through clear documentation and communication

• Play an active role in the global ING design community (350+ designers) by sharing knowledge and driving engagement
