Community Programs

Core to Figma’s success - and heart - is our community!  Community is important at Figma and is key to our bottom’s up adoption model and organic growth engine.  As we scale into new geographies and audiences, we are looking for a leader to help take our community and team to the next level. This leader will  be the thread that runs through our community spaces, community engagement and community product, globally.  This person will connect the dots across teams and departments; setting strategy, showing impact, supporting cross functional company goals.  In addition, this person will lead and grow our community team.

This is a full time role that can be held from one of our US hubs or remotely in the United States.
