About the role

From idea to product, Figma empowers teams to streamline workflows, move faster, and work together in real time from anywhere in the world.
But the through-line of this role isn't a domain; it's you: a broad, first-principles operator who brings structure to ambiguity, earns exec trust fast, and turns strategy into shipped outcomes.
This is a full-time role that can be held from one of our US hubs or remotely in the United States.

Take Figma's most ambiguous, highest-stakes business questions from "no one knows" to a decision we can act on - and own the outcome
Figma's platform helps teams bring ideas to life-whether you're brainstorming, creating a prototype, translating designs into code, or iterating with AI.
