Company mission

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

Role

Who you are

  • 8+ years of sales experience in a SaaS business, ideally focused on Large Enterprise/Strategic Accounts
  • Experience in selling to technical audiences
  • Ability to close complex sales cycles and multi-thread across multiple departments
  • Ability to prioritize challenging demands from customers and balance their needs against those of the business
  • Problem solving skills, a great attitude, and a resilient approach

Desirable

  • Experience with UX/UI design principles
  • Experience selling collaboration tools
  • Proficiency with sales and marketing automation tools

What the job involves

  • We are looking for a Strategic Account Executive to join our dynamic team of creatives, engineers, marketers, and brilliant business folks
  • You aren’t the typical salesperson, and we aren’t the typical design tool company
  • At Figma we think outside the box, lift constraints that block our imagination everyday, and we expect you to do the same
  • With this role you’ll get in at the ground floor in a fast growing sales org
  • You’ll collaborate with our existing customer base and potential customers in driving meaningful relationships that contribute to the customer experience and revenue to our bottom line
  • This is a full time role that will be held from our London office in a hybrid working environment
  • Develop executive-level relationships across our most strategic customers
  • Build a strong sales pipeline and exceed annual sales targets
  • Navigate complex sales processes through applying Command of the Message and MEDDICC
  • Create compelling and sophisticated cases to effectively influence senior customers and showcase the value of new products
  • Work closely with cross functional teams to ensure sales effectiveness
  • Establish and maintain relationships with key partners within Strategic accounts
  • Be part of a team dedicated to promoting Figma to existing and new customers
  • Help build the foundation and processes for all customer-facing teams at Figma

Salary benchmarks

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.
