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 experienced Technical Program Manager (TPM) to join our Technology Services team. In this role, you'll partner with our Business (Finance, GTM, Engineering) and Technology teams (Business Systems, GRC & IT) to lead cross-functional programs that are critical to how we scale. You'll ensure alignment across teams, deliver on commitments, and clear roadblocks so we can move forward together. Beyond execution, you'll roll up your sleeves to shape how teams work together—championing tools, advancing AI and automation adoption, 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:
  • Lead highly cross-functional programs, using strong TPM craft and collaboration skills to deliver complex initiatives
  • Drive project alignment by managing dependencies, guiding technical discussions, and making sure the right conversations happen at the right time
  • Anticipate risks and blockers, escalate when needed, and keep momentum toward resolution
  • 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 and project management experience in a cloud/SaaS environment, supporting technology teams
  • Comfort diving into technical details to guide conversations and drive alignment, with the ability to adapt communication style — knowing when to dive deep and when to zoom out — for different audiences
  • The ability to thrive in ambiguity, operating with autonomy to create clarity and momentum
  • A track record of building a culture of knowledge-sharing and transparency through strong collaboration
  • Proficiency with project management and collaboration tools (Asana, GSuite, Zoom, Notion, Figma, etc.), and the judgment to tailor their use to the team's needs
While it's not required, it's an added plus if you also have:
  • PMP & Scrum Certifications
  • Prior experience with business systems that support QTC (billing platforms, Salesforce, NetSuite)

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.
