We are currently looking for an Advocacy Operations Manager to join our team in a full-time, hybrid capacity, based either in one of our United States hubs or working remotely from within the country.

Our advocacy team is the heart of the Figma Community, connecting users through online interactions, in-person events, and shared content.

• Translate project outcomes into compelling narratives that highlight the impact of our advocacy programs and cross-functional collaborations.
• Act as the primary liaison between the Advocacy team and internal partners, proactively managing dependencies to clear pathways for project success.
