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!

Figma is hiring a Corporate Communications Manager to help us set a new standard for corporate communications at a public company. Successful candidates will go beyond setting strategy to help define a new model for how public companies communicate. This person will partner across the company — finance, investor relations, legal, brand, product and design — to mine and tell stories that drive conversation across audiences, formats and channels.

This role calls for range. You should be as comfortable in a spreadsheet as you are on X/Twitter. You’re capable of crafting campaigns around quarterly earnings and cultural moments. You can quickly learn and translate complex topics for a broader audience without dumbing it down. You embrace ambiguity, are collaborative by default, and are energized by the opportunity to build something new.

This is a full time role that can be held from our San Francisco or New York hub.

What you’ll do at Figma:

• Help define and drive Figma’s corporate storytelling strategy end-to-end, from narrative development to execution across channels
• Move beyond traditional PR to create integrated campaigns that cut through across media, owned platforms and executive communications
• Partner with cross-functional teams to translate business momentum into clear, compelling stories and campaigns
• Work closely with executives to shape narratives that resonate with business and financial audiences, from briefings to thought leadership
• Identify and develop breakthrough story angles that position Figma at the center of key industry, market and cultural conversations
• Stay close to the news cycle and broader zeitgeist while proactively creating opportunities that put Figma ahead of it
• Continue to grow your scope and influence as the company scales

We’d love to hear from you if you have:

• 7+ years of experience in in-house communications
• A track record of building and scaling communications programs from the ground up
• Strong business and cultural fluency, with the ability to translate complexity into clear, engaging narratives and pitches
• Experience operating in fast-paced environments where direction isn’t always defined—and comfort creating it
• Demonstrated experience crafting a point of view on storytelling that goes beyond conventional PR approaches

While not required, it’s an added plus if you also have:

• An understanding of product design, software development and/or cloud-native applications.
• Experience navigating and explaining business concepts and issues with fluidity.

At Figma, one of our values is Grow as you go. We believe in hiring smart, curious people who are excited to learn and develop their skills. If you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with the points outlined in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
