Job Description

Figma is growing our team of passionate people on a mission to make design accessible to all. Born on the Web, Figma helps entire product teams brainstorm, create, test, and ship better designs, together. From great products to long-lasting companies, we believe that nothing great is made alone—come make with us!

Figma’s users, customers and employees are heavily international, and we’ve recently significantly increased our marketing efforts.  As a result, we are looking for a self-starter to join our dynamic, tight-knit global team of legal professionals as Marketing and Trademark Counsel.  In this role you will be responsible for counseling our marketing teams and Figma’s trademark strategy (trademark filings are handled by outside counsel).  As the first counsel in this role, you will also work to build out processes and procedures that allow you to scale as the company continues to grow.  

What you’ll do at Figma:
  • Provide counseling for Figma’s marketing teams.  Proactively identify legal risks associated with our marketing efforts and provide pragmatic advice to help our marketing teams manage legal requirements while achieving their business goals
  • Manage Figma’s trademark portfolio; help set Figma’s trademark strategy in consultation with business partners
  • Develop pragmatic solutions and risk mitigation approaches that balance legal and business objectives
  • Work cross functionally as needed with marketing, sales ops, product managers, finance, operations, as well as other legal subject matter experts
 
We'd love to hear from you if you have:
  • Licensed to practice law in the United States 
  • 5+ years (or more) experience advising SaaS companies on marketing matters, or equivalent experience.  Trademark experience is a plus, but is not specifically required.
  • In house experience required.  Law-firm experience a plus, but not required.  
  • Outstanding communication skills both written and verbal, with a strong attention to detail
  • Ability to provide clear explanations to members of other teams, including senior management
  • Ability to think creatively and effectively balancing legal constraints with business goals
  • Collaborative approach, with strong ability to build relationships, gain credibility, and partner with others
  • Willingness to take on projects both large and small
  • Confidence operating in a fast-paced, rapidly changing environment
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. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
