Figma is hiring a Director of Communications to help us set a new standard for corporate communications at a public company. We aren’t looking to build upon the standard corporate comms playbook; we’re looking to reimagine it from first principles. Successful candidates will go beyond simply setting strategy to define a new model for how public companies communicate, partnering across the company — finance, investor relations, legal, brand studio, product and design — to mine and tell stories that drive conversation across audiences, formats and channels. This role calls for range. You should be as comfortable in a spreadsheet as you are on X/Twitter. You’re capable of crafting campaigns around quarterly earnings and cultural moments. You speak the language of finance and know what it takes to translate it for a broader audience without dumbing it down. You embrace ambiguity, are collaborative by default, and are energized by the chance to lead a team and build something new. This is a full-time role based in San Francisco or New York City hubs.
