Job description

Figma is growing our team of passionate people on a mission to make design accessible to all. Born on the Web, Figma helps entire product teams brainstorm, design and build better products - from start to finish. Whether it's consolidating tools, simplifying workflows, or collaborating across teams and time zones, Figma makes the design process faster, more efficient, and fun while keeping everyone on the same page. From great products to long-lasting companies, we believe that nothing great is made alone-come make with us!

At Figma, we're building a vibrant community where designers come together to learn, grow, and connect around their shared passion. Our Advocacy team is central to this mission-empowering our users through engaging content, meaningful interactions, and genuine advocacy.

We're looking for a Designer Advocate to partner closely with our Marketing, Sales, and Product teams. You'll bring deep design expertise, authentic storytelling, and a genuine love for the design community into our go-to-market strategies. You'll also champion our users' voices internally, ensuring their perspectives shape our product evolution.

This is a full-time role that can be held from one of our US hubs or remotely in the United States.

What you'll do at Figma :

1. Empower users at scale: Collaborate closely with our Sales and Customer Experience teams, enabling customers to unlock the full potential of Figma.
2. Create compelling content: Develop engaging written and video resources that educate, inspire, and resonate with designers everywhere.
3. Inspire community connections: Foster meaningful relationships within the Figma community, identify collaboration opportunities, and nurture user-driven engagement at events.
4. Champion user voices: Stay attuned to community feedback, sentiment, and emerging design trends—advocating internally to inform product decisions and improvements.

We'd love to hear from you if you :

• Have deep, hands-on expertise with Figma and experience integrating it within diverse design teams.
• Are passionate about engaging with and contributing to the design community.
• Are confident and comfortable speaking publicly, with the ability to captivate large audiences.
• Have a thorough understanding of modern product design workflows and deep experience building, managing, or using design systems.
• Can empathize with and address the evolving challenges faced by designers, especially those working at scale or alongside design-adjacent roles.
• Possess strong technical design skills with meticulous attention to interface details.
• Are entrepreneurial at heart—excited about bringing ideas from initial experiments to impactful, polished outcomes.
• Are comfortable traveling up to 25% of the time to connect with our community in person.

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 anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.

Pay Transparency Disclosure: If based in Figma's San Francisco or New York hub offices, this role has an annual base salary range of $149,000-$288,000 USD. For remote roles, the pay range is localized according to the employee's work location, between 80% and 100% of the range. Please discuss your specific work location with your recruiter.
