Figma is looking for a Director of Product Communications to help shape the product and technology story for one of the most beloved products in tech. This is a chance to build a new approach to product communications. You will connect earned media with editorial, social, community and events; decide where each story belongs; and lead a growing team responsible for telling Figma’s product story. We are looking for someone who has worked inside a product-led company, brings curiosity and creative judgment and can partner with senior leaders while staying close to the product.
This is a full-time role based in our San Francisco hub, with an expectation to work in the office 2–3 days per week.
What you’ll do at Figma:
- Shape a clear narrative for Figma that helps broader audiences understand our products and market position
- Build integrated storytelling across earned media, editorial, social, community, podcasts, events, and other relevant channels
- Partner closely with Product and Engineering to find and explain meaningful product and technical stories
- Lead storytelling for key product moments, connecting launches to a lasting product narrative
- Find opportunities for Figma to contribute to conversations about design, technology and AI.
- Advise executives and senior partners on product storytelling, audiences, channels, and timing
- Collaborate with Product Marketing, Brand, Community, executive communications, and international communications colleagues
- Manage and develop a growing product comms and storytelling team
We’d love to hear from you if you have:
- Experience leading product communications from inside a product-led organization
- A track record of managing people and building or developing high-performing teams
- A deep understanding of how stories travel across mediums: earned media, social, editorial and more.
- Strong judgment and past experience working with senior leaders, Product, and Engineering partners
While not required, it’s an added plus if you also have:
- Familiarity with Figma or the design and product development ecosystem; experience adapting stories across cultures and markets; or experience with emerging editorial, creator, and community platforms.
