Manager, Product Design - User Growth

We’re looking for a design manager to lead the User Growth pillar at Figma which includes the Acquisition Activation and Community areas.

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. 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).

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

What you'll do at Figma:

• 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

We’d love to hear from you if you have:

• 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

While it’s not required it’s an added plus if you also have:

• 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

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 anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
