About this role

Figma’s platform helps teams bring ideas to life—whether you're brainstorming, creating a prototype, translating designs into code, or iterating with AI. From idea to product, Figma empowers teams to streamline workflows, move faster, and work together in real time from anywhere in the world. If you're excited to shape the future of design and collaboration, join us!

In this role, you'll serve as the dedicated People Partner to Figma's Product and Design organizations, working closely with the Chief Design and Product Officer, and their respective leadership teams. You'll help these organizations scale effectively by strengthening leadership capability, shaping organizational design, and aligning talent strategy to the product strategy. You'll also collaborate closely with PDE People Partners and other cross-functional partners across the People Team - including Compensation, Recruiting, Learning & Development, BEI, and People Relations - to drive high-impact initiatives that support the holistic PDE organizational goals.

This role offers the opportunity to shape how leadership, performance culture, and talent strategy evolve as Figma's Product and Design organizations continue to grow and mature.

• Leverage data, organizational insights, and employee feedback to proactively inform decisions and drive measurable improvements in team health, effectiveness, and performance

• Develop and drive people strategy in service of Product & Design priorities, ensuring alignment with the broader PDE strategy
