Job Description

Figma is growing our team of passionate people on a mission to make design accessible to all.

From great products to long-lasting companies, we believe that nothing great is made alone—come make with us!

We are looking for a hands on Manager, People Operations with a passion for building and developing global HR infrastructure to support scale. You’ll collaborate with the broader People team (Total Rewards, L&D, DEIB, HRBPs), IT, Finance, Legal, and other stakeholders to build flexible and intelligent processes that support the wellbeing of our employees and the business - everything from onboarding to offboarding and new entity setup.  You’ll also lead a team of People Ops Associates focused executing global processes and supporting the People Team COEs.

 What you’ll do at Figma:
  • Lead and manage a team of People Ops Associates responsible for building and driving core people processes related to the employee lifecycle including onboarding, offboarding, total rewards, and L&D
  • Partner closely with the rest of the People team as well as partners across the org to assess existing People programs, processes, workflows, and practices; find opportunities for automation and drive innovative solutions to improve the Figmate experience
  • Develop processes focused on compliance and operational excellence to support the employee lifecycle; be responsible for execution of people processes - everything from onboarding to offboarding
  • Keep us safe, secure, and compliant; partner with crucial team members to ensure compliance with domestic and international requirements across the employee lifecycle - from internal policies to external compliance (EEO, SOC2, compliance trainings, etc)
  • Lead all aspects of the selection and maintenance of core HR tools and vendors, such as our HRIS (Workday), HR analytics tools, etc.
  • Own the logistics and compliance of global mobility, as well as quarterback the HR partnerships with key partners as we expand into new global markets
  • Partner closely with People Ops teammates to update our immigration programs, policies, and execution
  • Partner with HRIS and Total Rewards to support the merit cycle

We'd love to hear from you if you have:
  • Have 5+ years applicable People Operations/Process Improvement/Project Management experience including 2+ years of management experience
  • Proficiency in crafting, refining, and rolling out internal policies and processes
  • Have strong HR functional expertise; and are very knowledgeable on global employment law matters, employment legislation, and compliance management
  • Experience maximising HR systems (Workday and others) to design processes for scale
  • Enjoy being a “hands-on” manager and are willing to roll up your sleeves to get things done
  • Are consistently excited to help people understand the "why" (instead of a "check the checkbox" mentality)
At Figma, one of our values is Grow as you go. We believe in hiring smart, curious people who are excited to learn and develop their skills. If you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with the points outlined in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways.
