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!

This role offers the opportunity to shape how leadership, performance culture, and talent strategy evolve as Figma's Product and Design organizations continue to grow and mature.

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

• Embed as a key partner across cross-functional stakeholders—including Engineering and regional People Partners, Compensation, Recruiting, Learning & Development, BEI, and People Relations—to drive and deliver high-impact people initiatives
• Leverage data, organizational insights, and employee feedback to proactively inform decisions and drive measurable improvements in team health, effectiveness, and performance
• Develop and drive people strategy in service of Product & Design priorities, ensuring alignment with the broader PDE strategy

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

• 10+ years of HR / People experience, including 6+ years of HR Business Partner experience supporting executives and senior leaders in a high-growth company

• Strong experience in organizational design, leadership coaching, and change management
• Demonstrated ability to influence senior leaders and drive alignment on complex, cross-functional initiatives in rapidly evolving, ambiguous environments
