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!

The Strategic Finance team is focused on solving some of Figma’s most pressing business issues. The team is responsible for owning the company’s budget, driving annual and quarterly planning processes, allocating and deploying the company’s resources efficiently, performing financial analyses, and partnering with teams across the company. The role requires someone who is highly analytical and strategic, a great communicator, approaches problems in a structured manner, and is comfortable with ambiguity. You’ll get substantial visibility, focus on the highest-priority business issues, and be plugged into every facet of the business.

This is a full time role that can be held from one of our US hubs (SF/NY) or remotely in the United States.

What you’ll do at Figma:

• Lead annual operating plans, long-range planning, Headcount & Expense planning, and quarterly/monthly financial forecasts for consolidated G&A organizations
• Serve as the dedicated partner to our G&A leadership, planning and managing our investments in headcount, real estate, IT and benefits to ensure they are aligned with company strategy and durable growth goals
• Perform ongoing analysis of business performance vs. plan to highlight trends, identify risks and opportunities, and influence executive decision making
• Synthesize and summarize our P&L and cash flow narrative for executive audiences
• Stand up public-ready performance management structures across headcount and expense like monthly budget vs. actuals, re-forecasting, and a recruiting commit process
• Manage and mentor a high-performing team (2 P4s, 1 P3)—providing strategic direction, career development support, and hands‑on collaboration to drive team impact
• Get a bird’s eye view of Figma’s entire business, shape investments in our next chapter of growth, and build foundational infrastructure for the next decade of strategic finance at Figma
• Bring a builder’s mindset to scaling the Corporate Finance function—identifying tools, metrics, and systems that drive automation and enable better decision‑making at scale

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

• 6+ years of total experience in investment banking, private equity, strategic finance, business operations, or a related analytical field, including 4+ years of strategic finance experience with systems, automation, or corporate finance
• 2+ years of experience managing and developing ICs, with demonstrated success building and leading high-performing teams
• Deep experience in financial planning, modeling, and creating data‑driven analysis to partner with executive leadership
• Proven ability to distill complex issues into structured frameworks, build processes from scratch, and develop concrete action plans, with a process‑oriented, automation‑first mindset and initiative to learn and apply new technology and tools
• Strong track record of building relationships, communicating with stakeholders across all levels, and delivering compelling presentations/memos to executive audiences

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

• Background in a high‑growth B2B SaaS environment
• Previous experience in corporate finance or a G&A business partnering role
• Proficiency with financial planning tools (e.g., Pigment, Anaplan, Hyperion, Adaptive) or HRIS/Procure-to-Pay systems
• Ability to independently retrieve and analyze data using SQL
