Product Manager - Design Systems Ecosystems

We’re looking for a product manager to lead the product work on Design Systems Ecosystems – a crucial part of Figma usage for any company with a design system. We want to build the best possible experience for design system managers and designers who use the design systems enabled by Figma. Design Systems play a critical role in improving design efficiency within large design organizations, and Figma has one of the leading Design Systems offerings in the industry. 

The Design System Ecosystems team exists to acknowledge that design systems are more than just the creation & usage of components in Figma, but rather an ecosystem of tools and ideas, which together help organizations, and individuals beyond designers, build more cohesive products (much) faster. As the Product Manager for the DS Ecosystems team, you will work on making Figma the central hub for browsing and consuming design systems. Whether tokens, components, and documentation are maintained within Figma, code, or a third party tool, users should feel confident that they can easily & quickly find it all in Figma.

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

• Develop a strategy and vision for DS documentation and libraries on Figma
• Work closely with designers and engineers to define feature functionality and execute the roadmap 
• Do all the things you'd expect in a PM, like driving planning and prioritization, defining and tracking key metrics, collaborating on marketing, messaging, positioning, and go-to-market plans
• Grow your career in an engaged, creative, and thoughtful community.

• Browsing and managing complex libraries
• Design systems documentation
• Design Systems analytics tools
• Publishing and subscribing to design systems

• You have experience successfully leading complex, user-facing product launches
• You’re familiar with what design systems are, and the role they play within product design teams.
• You have deep user empathy and the ability to build relationships with key customers
• You’re an excellent verbal and written communicator. You’re able to zoom in and out effortlessly based on the audience. You can rally and motivate a team behind a bold vision
• Love building complex tools and workflows that balance power and flexibility with ease of use.
• Have an eye for the details, both in terms of user experience and the technical nuances.
• Can balance user research, data analysis, your team’s input, and your instincts in the decision making process.
• Have an affinity for the fast-paced, changing environment of a start-up, a sense of humor and get-it-done personality

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.
