To see similar active jobs please follow this link: Remote Design jobs
We are looking for a design manager to lead our Design Experience team! The team is responsible for the Figma editor – Figma’s heart and soul – which is responsible for features related to editing and design systems, but also setting the tone for other products that use the editor as a foundation. We’re hoping to find a technically skilled person who can be newer to people management but is excited to push the bar for quality and execution on their teams, and isn’t afraid to get into the weeds and get their hands dirty. This is an opportunity to own one of the most importants surfaces at Figma, lead a wonderful group of designers, and collaborate with some very talented people.
This is a full time role that can be held from one of our US hubs or remotely in the United States.
What you'll do at Figma:
Manage and hire a group of world-class designers of all experience levels
Partner deeply with Product and Engineering leads in this area to build great things, improve team processes and execution, and coach individual teams through setting roadmap and strategy
Develop a perspective on your teams’ product areas and successfully advocate for it across the organization
Run and improve team processes like critiques and sprints
Advance your own skills at people management in a supportive and growth-oriented environment
We’d love to hear from you if you have:
3+ years of people management experience in Product Design
Experience working on technical products or complex systems (e.g. editing tools, word processors, etc.)
Exceptional skills as a craftsperson and the ability to teach others
While it’s not required, it’s an added plus if you also have:
Strength in strategic thinking and communication–we need someone who can help influence teams
We love people who like to take risks with new and interesting methodologies and ideas; who are not always satisfied with the status quo and always eager to improve both themselves and others.
At Figma, one of our values is Grow as you go. We believe in hiring smart, curious people who are excited to learn and develop their skills. If you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with the points outlined in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
