Job description

Remote Security TPM at Figma - US Remote Role — Remote

US-Only Remote — Not Globally Location-Independent

This role is explicitly limited to US-based employees, either at Figma's San Francisco or New York hub offices or remotely within the United States. International digital nomads or those hoping to work from outside the US are not eligible. For US-citizen nomads, however, this opens up meaningful flexibility.

Schedule & Async Friendliness: The job description emphasizes cross-functional collaboration, real-time alignment, and stakeholder communication — suggesting a largely synchronous work environment. Expect regular meetings across US time zones, making it best suited to someone based in the continental US (UTC-5 to UTC-8). Pure async or timezone-shifting arrangements are unlikely to work well here.

Salary vs. Cost of Living (for US-based nomads): The remote pay range is 80–100% of the $140K–$245K band, meaning remote workers could earn $112K–$245K depending on location. This goes a long way in lower-cost US cities:

• Austin, TX: Comfortable LCOL city; $140K+ is high-earner territory
• Asheville, NC / Bozeman, MT: Popular nomad-friendly small cities with lower COL than SF
• Miami, FL: No state income tax, growing tech hub feel

Perks relevant to remote workers: Figma offers a work-from-home stipend, cell phone reimbursement, and a learning & development stipend — solid for home-office setup. Company recharge days add to schedule flexibility. Note that in-person onboarding is required upon hire.

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!

We're looking for an expert Technical Program Manager (TPM) to support our Security Operations team. In this role, you'll partner with our Business and Technology teams to lead cross-functional programs that are critical to how we manage risk and secure our organization. You'll ensure alignment across teams, deliver on commitments, develop solutions, and clear roadblocks so we can move forward together. Beyond execution, you'll roll up your sleeves to shape how teams work together—championing security practices, strengthening operations, and solving tough problems with scalable, repeatable practices.

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:

• Own end-to-end program execution for security, compliance, and infrastructure initiatives—managing dependencies, milestones, risks, and reporting at a portfolio level
• Lead highly cross-functional programs, using strong project management skills to deliver complex initiatives in a collaborative and transparent way
• Drive project alignment by handling dependencies, guiding technical discussions, facilitating decision making, and ensuring the right conversations happen at the right time
• Influence outcomes by building trusted, strong partnerships across the organization
• Champion effective ways of working—finding the right balance of tools, structure & practices while continuously improving how we collaborate and deliver on our commitments

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

• 5+ years of program or project management experience in a cloud or SaaS environment supporting enterprise technology or security teams
• Strong understanding of information security principles and controls, including data protection, access management, and application security
• Ability to dive into technical details and apply that knowledge to drive alignment and solve complex challenges
• Experience communicating complex security risks and tradeoffs to both technical and non-technical audiences
• Proficiency with project management and collaboration tools (e.g., Asana, Google Workspace, Slack, Zoom, Notion, Figma) and the judgment to apply them effectively based on team needs

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

• PMP & Scrum Certifications
• Prior experience with identity and access management systems and practices, vendor security and technology governance processes, risk assessments, security investigations, detection and response operations, and incident response
• Familiarity with security frameworks and standards such as ISO 27001, NIST, and SOC 2, and experience with ITGC frameworks
• Familiarity with AI/ML risk considerations or AI risk frameworks (NIST AI RMF, OECD, ISO 42001)
• Experience with using AI tools (e.g., Claude Code, Claude Cowork, OpenAI Codex, etc.) to automate and scale manual processes and decision-making workflows

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.
