We're looking for a couple of design managers to lead two exciting areas of our product portfolio - either Editor (Designer Experience) or FigJam.
Editor (Designer Experience)
You'll lead the team responsible for the Figma editor - Figma's heart and soul. This team is responsible for features related to editing and design systems, and sets the tone for other products that use the editor as a foundation. We're hoping to find a technically skilled person who is excited to push the bar for quality and execution on their teams, and isn't afraid to get into the weeds and get their hands dirty. This is an opportunity to own one of the most important surfaces at Figma, lead a wonderful group of designers, and collaborate with some very talented people.
FigJam
You'll lead a team within the FigJam pillar. We're hoping to find someone who's excited for both the strategic challenge of building new products, but also helps their team ship ambitious, high-quality products. This is an exciting opportunity to own one of the newest and essential frontiers at Figma and lead a team of world-class craftspeople. The work you'll do will redefine Figma's product suite, core audiences, and future as a business.
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:
Manage and hire a group of world-class designers of all experience levelsPartner with Product and Engineering leads in this area to improve team processes and execution and coach individual teams through setting roadmap and strategyDevelop a perspective on your teams' product areas and successfully advocate for it across the organizationRun and improve team processes like critiques and sprintsAdvance 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 experienceA proven track record as a craftsperson and ability to teach othersExperience influencing teams through strategic thinking and communication
While not required, it's an added plus if you also have:
Experience working on technical products or complex systems (e.g. editing tools, word processors, etc.)Experience working on early stage or zero-to-one projectsWe 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.
