Summary Generated by Built In

Figma is growing our team of passionate people on a mission to make design accessible to all. Born on the Web, Figma helps entire product teams brainstorm, design and build better products — from start to finish. Whether it’s consolidating tools, simplifying workflows, or collaborating across teams and time zones, Figma makes the design process faster, more efficient, and fun while keeping everyone on the same page. From great products to long-lasting companies, we believe that nothing great is made alone—come make with 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:

  • Ramp up and serve as a functional expert for our enterprise planning tool (Pigment), owning the development, enhancement, maintenance, and administration of the platform. We use Pigment but are considering candidates from similar planning platform backgrounds 
  • Manage the systems roadmap and lead its execution, including prioritization, requirement gathering, project timeline, user acceptance testing, and issue resolution
  • Partner within Strategic Finance and Data Science teams to build & migrate sophisticated financial forecasts and reporting in Pigment
  • Design and build a best-in-class systems architecture, data flow optimizations, business transformations, and integrations
  • Drive best practices, systems controls & validations, and data governance across the tool
  • Create dashboards and data visualizations that highlight KPIs and business drivers while promoting a positive user experience
  • Champion tool adoption and change management through the development of trainings, documentation, and enablement resources
We'd love to hear from you if you have:
  • 5+ years of relevant experience in systems/technology consulting, finance systems, or related fields
  • Experience architecting and/or implementing financial systems (Adaptive, Anaplan or Pigment) and a willingness to dig into the details
  • Experience driving improvements and adoption 
  • Experience with financial concepts, forecasting processes, and KPIs
  • Demonstrate ability to partner across teams to optimize processes and data flows
  • Demonstrate understanding of connected planning systems & best practices

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

  • Experience at a high growth B2B SaaS company
  • SQL experience

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.
