What the job involves

  • We are seeking a Manager, Paid Marketing to head a team of media experts focused on driving user acquisition, pipeline creation, and brand awareness at scale
  • This role is critical in developing data-driven strategies to accelerate Figma's global growth, collaborating across teams, and managing large media budgets to drive high-impact results

  • Drive experimentation across platforms, using incrementality testing (MMM, Geo-X) and focusing on financial critical metrics to optimize performance
  • Stay ahead of industry trends, identifying and using new platforms and technologies to unlock growth opportunities

Our take

Figma is a web-based design platform that helps cross-functional teams of designers, project managers, and developers easily collaborate on product design projects. Its standout feature, Multiplayer mode, is like Google Docs for design, letting team members collaborate in real-time on project files that are hosted in the cloud.

Founded in 2012, Figma quickly established itself among its competitors in the sector and achieved a valuation exceeding $10 billion in 2021, boosted by a trend towards remote work. Its acquistion by Adobe for twice that amount just a year later raised eyebrows, but is a testament to the huge potential of this company and its product.

Thousands of industry-leading companies such as AirBnB, Dropbox, GitHub and Microsoft use Figma to scale their design efforts easily across distributed teams. Adobe has committed to leaving Figma autonomous going forward, and Figma will benefit from Adobe's digital imaging and AI tech in its product development.
