Unifying Oracle Careers Site

Oracle’s Careers site is one of the top most visited sections of oracle.com — which means millions of international hits per year.

As lead UX designer, I was tasked with streamlining the user flow and helping to modernize the look. I worked closely with various stakeholders, project management, UI design, development and publishing to ensure all needs were met to produce a site that could handle the regional/international requirements of an enterprise level career site.

Establishing Solid Foundations

I partnered with a contracting firm to create a flexible yet consistent design framework across apps. A foundational audit standardized fonts, colors, icons, spacing, and branding. To manage three apps in Figma efficiently, we developed a custom token management plugin, enabling seamless global updates and theme switching before Figma introduced variables.

Evaluating & Consolidating Components

With strong foundations in place, we conducted a thorough audit of existing UI elements across all apps. Many components were outdated or inconsistent, requiring careful evaluation to determine what should be standardized in our design toolkit. The focus was on identifying reusable elements and streamlining patterns to create a more unified, scalable system.

Component & Pattern Development

I systematically audited and standardized UI components, creating a comprehensive, reusable design system for buttons, widgets, list items, and map elements. Partnering with engineering, I resolved inconsistencies, developed missing components, and integrated them into Storybook for seamless adoption and continuous refinement.

Documenting, Educating & Driving Adoption

We developed comprehensive documentation covering design foundations, components, accessibility, and governance, along with contribution models and a changelog. Continuous training empowered designers to educate cross-functional teams, while role-specific sessions ensured easy access to resources. Despite organizational silos, we secured strong buy-in, increasing awareness and adoption.
