The role

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!

As AI reshapes how products get designed and built, the systems that supply context - design systems, content, the relationships between design and code - are becoming some of the most consequential surfaces we work on. We're looking for an experienced Design Program Manager to be the operational backbone of our new Context Platform pillar, helping Figma determine the future of leveraging organizational design context to go from idea to production. You'll own end-to-end design program management for the pillar and help define how a brand-new set of teams operate.

You'll be a right-hand partner to the pillar's Senior Design Director, working alongside design managers, ICs, TPMs, and XFN leaders across a set of deeply interconnected teams. As Context Platform underpins so much of the product, much of the work is cross-pillar: you'll be the person making sure dependencies surface early, decisions have clear owners, and designers across Figma know how to plug in.

This is a senior IC role suited to someone with high agency who is comfortable building in ambiguity - standing up processes quickly, seeing what sticks, and removing what doesn't.
