Figma is seeking a Designer Advocate to bridge the gap between the design community and the product organization. This role sits at the intersection of Marketing, Sales, and Product, requiring someone with deep hands-on expertise in Figma, modern design workflows, design systems, and the ability to translate design into development.
Key responsibilities include collaborating with Sales and Customer Experience teams to help customers maximize Figma's potential across real workflows; creating written, visual, and video resources that showcase how modern teams design and build from exploration through production; fostering relationships within the Figma community and identifying collaboration opportunities; presenting at industry meetups, conferences, and community events with practical insights; and serving as an internal advocate for community feedback to inform product decisions.
The ideal candidate brings hands-on expertise in Figma and modern product/visual design workflows, with experience working in cross-functional product teams alongside engineers. You should be comfortable with evolving design technologies including design systems, tokens, AI-assisted design, and prototyping. Strong communication skills and public speaking confidence are essential, as is genuine passion for the design community. An entrepreneurial mindset and willingness to travel up to 25% of the time to connect with the community in person are expected.
This is a full-time role based in one of Figma's US hubs (San Francisco or New York). The role offers competitive compensation, equity, comprehensive benefits including health/dental/vision, retirement contributions, parental leave, mental health support, and flexible PTO.
