Company mission

Figma's mission is to help teams create, share, test, and ship better designs from start to finish.

Role

Who you are

  • We’re hoping to find someone who’s excited for both the strategic challenge of growth, but also isn’t afraid to get in the weeds and push the bar for quality
  • 3+ years of people management experience
  • Exceptional skills as a craftsperson and the ability to teach others
  • Strong in strategic thinking and communication; someone who can help influence teams

Desirable

  • We love people who like to take risks with new and interesting methodologies and ideas; who are not always satisfied with the status quo and always eager to improve both themselves and others
  • Experience working on early stage or zero-to-one projects
  • Experience working on growth teams or creative marketplaces

What the job involves

  • We’re looking for a design manager to lead the User Growth pillar at Figma, which includes the Acquisition, Activation, and Community areas
  • You’ll manage the teams responsible for growing and engaging our overall user base, but also our Community hub of resources (that contains files, templates, widgets, and plugins)
  • Hire and manage a group of world-class designers of all experience levels
  • Partner with Product and Engineering leads in this area to improve team processes and execution and coach individual teams through setting roadmap and strategy
  • Develop a perspective on your teams’ product areas and successfully advocate for it across the organization
  • Run and improve team processes like critiques and sprints
  • Advance your own skills at people management in a supportive and growth-oriented environment

Our take

Figma is a web-based design platform that helps cross-functional teams of designers, project managers, and developers easily collaborate on product design projects. Its standout feature, Multiplayer mode, is like Google Docs for design, letting team members collaborate in real-time on project files that are hosted in the cloud.

Founded in 2012, Figma quickly established itself among its competitors in the sector and achieved a valuation exceeding $10 billion in 2021, boosted by a trend towards remote work. Its acquistion by Adobe for twice that amount just a year later raised eyebrows, but is a testament to the huge potential of this company and its product.

Thousands of industry-leading companies such as AirBnB, Dropbox, GitHub and Microsoft use Figma to scale their design efforts easily across distributed teams. Adobe has committed to leaving Figma autonomous going forward, and Figma will benefit from Adobe's digital imaging and AI tech in its product development.
