Role: Corporate Counsel

As Corporate Counsel, you will help develop our corporate and securities legal strategy, ensuring we stay ahead in a constantly evolving tech landscape.

What you'll do at Figma:

1. Ensure the Company remains compliant with all applicable corporate and securities laws and regulations, including potential future SEC requirements.
2. Lead the preparation of SEC filings.
3. Support review of earnings-related materials, including earnings releases, presentations, and other public-facing corporate communications.
4. Build and maintain processes and infrastructure, such as playbooks, templates, metrics, and self-serve tools, to help scale the legal function.
5. Partner with other critical stakeholders across accounting, finance, people, and communications.
6. Support the management of outside counsel on various matters, as needed.
7. Support and lead special projects as requested.

We'd love to hear from you if you have/are:

2. Deep knowledge of corporate and securities laws and SEC reporting.
3. Excellent interpersonal skills and business judgment; an ability to distill complex issues and concisely explain why it matters.
4. Proactive, driven, and adaptable; you should be able to prioritize and balance multiple projects, path-find, and recalibrate advice in view of shifting priorities, legal developments, and risk tolerance.

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

1. Self-awareness around what you know and what you don't know. You should have a sense of curiosity and desire to learn what you don't know.
