What the job involves

  • As an Executive Assistant to the Global Business Operations organization, you’ll be responsible for keeping the leadership team organized and helping them focus on scaling their teams and processes
  • In this role, you’ll be directly supporting multiple Senior Directors and VP’s to strategically manage day-to-day administrative and operational needs
  • Their functions include Accounting, Business Development, Business Operations, Corporate Development and Strategic Finance. You’ll work closely with our broader administrative team and cross-functionally with stakeholders across Figma

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.
