About the role

Original posting from Figma via Greenhouse

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 building the next chapter of AI-native craft and creativity - where craft and technology meet. Our unified platform bridges the gap between AI capabilities and human creativity, and lets professional creatives and designers harness the power of the world’s leading AI models without losing precision, expression, or soul.  Together, we’re building tools that help people move faster without sacrificing quality, precision, or craft — a platform where AI supports creativity instead of flattening it.

We’re looking for a marketing leader who can make Figma Weave the name people think of for AI-native creative work — and build the brand, the demand, and the team to get there. You’ll own marketing for Weave end to end, operating with the autonomy of a startup and the reach of Figma behind you. Generative media is one of the most exciting and fast-moving spaces in technology. The opportunity is enormous and the audience is passionate. Whoever defines what great AI-native creative tooling looks like and makes the world believe it wins. That story is yours to tell.

This is a full time role that can be held from our NYC hub or remotely. 

What you'll do at Figma Weave:

Define the vision and narrative for Figma Weave in the AI-native creative space, and carry that story into everything we put into market

Build brand awareness and love for Weave through bold, memorable, culturally-tuned marketing that creatives are proud to be part of

Build and run the growth engine that turns attention into users and revenue across the full funnel, measured and accountable dollar for dollar

Hire and lead a small, senior, high-output marketing team, while drawing on Figma’s scale, channels, and talent

Set marketing strategy and execute against it directly — moving fast, making bets, and measuring relentlessly

Partner closely with product, sales, and design teams, and with Figma’s broader marketing organization, to bring focus and ambition to a fast-moving market

Own and deploy significant marketing budgets, tying every investment and tradeoff to measurable, ROI-positive impact

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

Experience as an executive marketing leader who has built brand and driven growth at a high-growth software, SaaS, or consumer-tech company

A track record as both strategist and operator — you set the vision and you personally ship the work

Strong storytelling and creative instincts, paired with the discipline to tie every investment to measurable impact

Experience owning and deploying significant marketing budgets, with demonstrated ROI-positive brand awareness

A deeply data- and performance-driven approach, setting and managing against metrics across brand and full-funnel growth

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

Experience building and leading teams in fast-moving, ambiguous, category-defining markets

Genuine energy for creatives, design, and the frontier of AI, with excitement to help define a new category
