  • Collaborate with regional Sales partners (Sales leadership, Sales enablement and Sales Consulting teams) to optimize our Advocacy engagement playbook, devise new ways to scale and manage all related metrics
  • Take Figma's thriving EMEA community to the next level through programmes from influencer marketing to creating new community channels in region
  • Define strategy and programs how to grow our EMEA developer community from scratch

  • Experience working with product designers and/or developer audiences; experience working in high-growth SaaS companies
  • Strategic thought leadership and ability to influence - ability to represent the Figma brand well, and articulate a brand vision that gets stakeholders on board & inspires teams
  • A curious nature, you find it easy to build relationships
  • A creative mind who loves bringing new insights to existing projects and continuously pushes the team to try new things.
