You will own all ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue) planning and forecasting for Figma's Self-Serve business, including annual plans, quarterly forecasts, monthly reporting, and weekly performance reviews. You'll partner cross-functionally with Product and Data Science teams to identify key growth drivers, surface insights, and influence strategic decisions across the self-serve funnel. A core responsibility is designing and implementing process improvements that enhance forecast accuracy and improve visibility into customer behavior, monetization, and conversion trends.

You'll develop and present actionable insights and recommendations to senior leadership, including the CFO, CEO, and CMO. You'll own and evolve the financial narrative for Figma's self-serve motion in executive and board-level materials. The role also requires a builder's mindset—identifying tools, metrics, and systems that enable better decision-making at scale.
The Strategic Finance team is focused on solving Figma's most pressing business issues, owning the company's budget, driving annual and quarterly planning processes, allocating and deploying resources efficiently, and performing financial analyses. This is a full-time role that can be held from one of Figma's US hubs (SF or NY) or remotely within the United States.
