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.

We are currently hiring for a few roles across our Strategic Finance team.

• Go-To-Market: This role will focus on our Sales business. In your first 12 months, you will:
• Own and materially improve Figma’s annual planning and forecasting process
• Influence resourcing and investment decisions across the Sales business
• Corporate: This role will help deliver high accuracy in our revenue and ARR close. In your first 12 months, you will:

• Leverage automation to surface data-driven insights, enabling management to take proactive, margin-impacting actions
• Growth: This role will focus on Figma's Acquisitions. In your first 12 months you will:
• Own reporting & forecasting for acquired businesses, including revenue, headcount, and operating expenses
• Partner with acquired business leadership to identify growth levers, inform pricing & packaging, and build out unit economics framework(s)
  

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:

• Drive alignment on KPIs and key metrics to monitor business performance, drive growth initiatives, and provide visibility into operating performance
• Build annual operating plans, quarterly, and monthly financial forecasts
• Develop cross-functional partnerships across Figma to formulate business insight and inform executive decision making
• Own, run, and improve financial processes that support Figma’s business
• Partner with Strategic Finance, Data Science, and RevOps to improve our ARR data quality and forecasting
• Prepare and deliver presentations for the Executive Team, including the CFO, CMO, and CRO
• Experiment with AI-driven solutions to automate workflows, enhance accuracy, and elevate the speed and impact of Strategic Finance operations
• Help scale financial operating rhythms as Figma continues to grow
• Become a trusted thought partner to functional leaders and the executive team
  
  

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

• 5+ years of relevant experience in investment banking, private equity, strategic finance, Big 4 audit, business operations, or related fields
• Experience in financial planning and creating data-driven analysis
• Demonstrated ability to build processes from scratch and distill complex issues into structured frameworks and develop concrete action plans
• Experience problem-solving independently, organizing workload and priorities, and completing tasks on time
• Experience building relationships and communicating with stakeholders across all levels and functions
• Genuine curiosity and passion in the work that you do
  
  

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

• Experience at a high growth B2B SaaS company, with bonus points for GTM experience
• SQL/AI tooling experience and deep experience working with large data-sets
  
  

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.
