This role is no longer accepting applications.

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 all ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue) planning and forecasting for Figma's Self-Serve business, including annual plans, quarterly forecasts, monthly reporting, and weekly performance reviews
  • Partner cross-functionally with Product and Data Science to identify key growth drivers, surface insights, and influence strategic decisions across the self-serve funnel
  • Design and implement process improvements that enhance forecast accuracy and improve visibility into customer behavior, monetization, and conversion trends
  • Manage and mentor a high-performing team—providing strategic direction, career development support, and hands-on collaboration to drive team impact
  • Develop and present actionable insights and recommendations to senior leadership, including the CFO, CEO, and CMO
  • Own and evolve the financial narrative for Figma's self-serve motion in executive and board-level materials
  • Bring a builder's mindset to scaling the Self-Serve Finance function—identifying tools, metrics, and systems that enable better decision-making at scale

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

  • 8+ years of experience in investment banking, private equity, strategic finance, business operations, or a related analytical field, including 2+ years leading and developing high-performing teams
  • Proficiency in SQL and a history of partnering with Data Science teams to solve complex analytical problems
  • Deep experience in financial planning, forecasting, and driving insights through data-driven analysis
  • A structured, strategic thinker who can break down ambiguous problems and develop clear, actionable solutions
  • A track record of building new processes or scaling existing ones to improve efficiency and decision-making

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

  • Experience at a high growth B2B SaaS company, with bonus points for self-serve models
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.
