Job Description:

Figma is growing our team of passionate creatives and builders on a mission to make design accessible to all. 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! We’re seeking a Design Manager to lead one of Figma’s newest frontiers: Expressive Design. This team is built around three core areas: Interaction Design, Expressive AI, and Vectors. You’ll push boundaries with vectors, shaders, generative AI, and traditional drawing tools, creating new building blocks and reimagining how people design and build. Formed after the Modyfi acquisition, the group has the talent and technical ability to ship fast and push the boundaries of the Figma platform. This role will stretch you as a design leader and partner to Product and Engineering. You’ll define vision in an open space, shape how new technologies meet real user needs, and build tools that let teams create expressive, memorable experiences at scale. You’ll also work with exceptional builders, including founders and former CEOs, who bring deep technical expertise and high craft. This is a humble, ambitious team with a proven track record of shipping.

Job Responsibility:

  • Manage and hire a group of world-class designers
  • Partner with Product and Engineering leads in this area to improve team processes and execution and coach individual teams through setting roadmap and strategy
  • Develop a perspective on your teams’ product areas and successfully advocate for it across the organization
  • Run and improve team processes like critiques and sprints
  • Advance your own skills at people management in a supportive and growth-oriented environment
  • We want you to be in the work
  • this means both managing people, and helping oversee strategy and execution

Requirements:

  • 3+ years of design management experience
  • A proven track record of collaboration with cross-functional teams to solve complex design challenges
  • Clear hands-on expertise with Figma’s tools, and a strong ability to mentor and guide design teams
  • Experience influencing teams through strategic thinking and communication
  • Depth in the latest AI developments and modern tooling
  • Help lead teams with resilience and guide through ambiguity

Nice to have:

  • Experience working on early stage or zero-to-one projects, and seeing them through into unambiguous market fit
  • The ability to thrive in a fast-paced, evolving environment, bringing a sense of humor and a proactive, solution-oriented approach
  • Comfort exploring and experimenting with new methodologies and continuously seeking to improve both personal and team performance
What we offer:
  • 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
  • equity to employees
  • sales incentive pay for most sales roles and an annual bonus plan for eligible non-sales roles
