Head of Design System (x/f/m)

Set a new pulse for healthcare!

We are looking for a Head of Design Systems to join the Brand and Design team at Doctolib.

Your mission will be to ensure every Doctolib product surface is built on a consistent, high-quality design foundation. You will own Oxygen, Doctolib's design system - much more than a component library. Oxygen is how we deliver our brand identity consistently throughout the product and the critical infrastructure that ensures design quality at scale across an AI-first development environment. With over 50 designers and engineers building across multiple markets and product surfaces, your work will directly shape the experience of more than 90 million patients and 400,000 healthcare professionals.

Working in the tech team at Doctolib means building innovative products and features to improve the daily lives of care teams and patients.

You'll be a great fit if you:

• Have 10+ years of experience in product design or design systems, with a proven track record of scaling a mature, complex system across multiple product teams or lines of business
• Bring engineering fluency: you understand the technical architecture of a design system, how platform teams operate, and the latest best practices in AI-first software engineering as it relates to design systems
• Have demonstrated senior stakeholder management skills, with the ability to negotiate priorities with leadership at Director level and above across large, distributed organizations, and drive change management at scale
• Take a data-informed and outcome-oriented approach: you measure system health in real metrics (adoption rate, handoff defect rate, contribution velocity) and connect those numbers to product quality and business outcomes
• Have experience in a regulated, enterprise, or healthcare-adjacent context where accessibility (WCAG), localization (i18n, RTL), and multi-market constraints are critical to design systems
• Are fluent in English

It would be fantastic if you:

• Have experience owning large-scale change management programs across cross-functional organizations
• Speak additional European languages, such as French, German, or Italian
