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!

At Figma, we're building a vibrant community where designers and product builders come together to learn, grow, and connect around their shared passion. Our Advocacy team is central to this mission—empowering our users through engaging content, meaningful interactions, and genuine advocacy.

We're looking for a Designer Advocate to partner closely with our Marketing, Sales, and Product teams. You'll bring deep design expertise, strong product intuition, and a genuine love for the design community into our go-to-market strategies. You'll also champion our users' voices internally, ensuring their perspectives shape our product evolution.

This is a full time role based at our San Francisco Hub. Must be comfortable traveling up to 25% of the time to connect with our community in person.

What you’ll do at Figma:

Empower users at scale: Collaborate closely with Sales and Customer Experience teams to help customers unlock the full potential of Figma across real product workflows

Create compelling content: Develop written, visual, and video resources that reflect how modern teams actually design and build, from early exploration to production-ready systems

Inspire community connections: Foster meaningful relationships within the Figma community, identify collaboration opportunities, and nurture user-driven initiatives

Speak and engage at events: Regularly present at industry meetups, conferences, and community events, sharing practical insights from real-world design work

Champion user voices: Stay attuned to community feedback, sentiment, and emerging design trends—advocating internally to inform product decisions and improvements

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

Deep, hands-on expertise with Figma and demonstrated experience integrating it within real product teams and modern product development environments, collaborating closely with engineers and cross-functional partners

Demonstrated ability to adapt to evolving workflows, including design systems, tokens, and AI-assisted design or prototyping

Active participation in the design community, whether through events, online platforms, open-source contributions, or advocacy work

Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to explain complex workflows or systems clearly — and a track record of confidently engaging large audiences in public speaking settings

Thorough understanding of modern product design workflows, with hands-on experience building, managing, or using design systems

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

An entrepreneurial mindset - comfortable taking ideas from early exploration to impactful, polished outcomes

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.
