What you'll do at Figma
- •Take Figma's most ambiguous, highest-stakes business questions from "no one knows" to a decision we can act on — and own the outcome.
- •Set the direction for how Figma monetizes the AI era: agents, consumption/usage-based billing, our APIs, and acquired businesses — with a real point of view on where the model is going, not just where it is.
- •Build and lead a small, exceptional team; set the bar for structured thinking and exec-ready synthesis.
- •Be the partner Product, Finance, Engineering, and GTM want in the room when the problem is hard.
- •Bring a sharp, independent voice into company planning and our biggest capital-allocation calls.
At Figma, we offer
- •Equity to employees.
- •Competitive package of additional benefits, including health, dental & vision, retirement with company contribution, parental leave & reproductive or family planning support, mental health & wellness benefits, generous PTO, company recharge days, a learning & development stipend, a work from home stipend, and cell phone reimbursement.
- •Sales incentive pay for most sales roles and an annual bonus plan for eligible non-sales roles.
- •Annual Base Salary Range: $258,000 — $348,000 USD.
We'd love to hear from you if you have
- •You’re always the one handed the hardest, vaguest, most important problems.
- •Pair a top-tier strategy foundation (management consulting, private equity, or investing) with operating experience at a high-growth software company (Product, Growth, Strategy & Ops, or BizOps) or a top-tier PE/VC firm.
- •Have a track record of taking ambiguous, company-defining problems from zero structure to executive decision.
- •Communicate with exec-level clarity and influence senior leaders without authority.
- •Reason fluently about a P&L and a business model — strong business and financial instincts.
- •Lead and develop people.
While it's not required, it's an added plus if you also have
- •Exposure to monetization, pricing & packaging, or business-model design — especially in the AI/consumption era.
- •Hands-on financial modeling / SQL.
