Our Advocacy team drives this mission - building impactful content, high-value interactions, and a strong user voice. We're looking for a Designer Advocate to partner closely with our Marketing, Sales, and Product teams. You'll bring deep design expertise, strong product intuition, and a genuine love for the design community into our go-to-market strategies, while championing our users' voices internally to help shape our product evolution.

What you'll do at Figma:
- Empower users at scale: Collaborate closely with Sales and Customer Experience teams to help customers unlock the full potential of Figma across real product workflows
- Create compelling content: Develop written, visual, and video resources that reflect how modern teams actually design and build, from early exploration to production-ready systems
- Inspire community connections: Foster meaningful relationships within the Figma community, identify collaboration opportunities, and nurture user-driven initiatives
- Speak and engage at events: Regularly present at industry meetups, conferences, and community events, sharing practical insights from real-world design work
- Champion user voices: Stay attuned to community feedback, sentiment, and emerging design trends—advocating internally to inform product decisions and improvements
We'd love to hear from you if you have:
- Deep, hands-on Figma expertise and an entrepreneurial drive, with experience integrating Figma within real product teams and a track record of taking ideas from early exploration to impactful, polished outcomes
- A thorough understanding of modern product design workflows and development environments, with experience building, managing, and using design systems, tokens, and AI-assisted design or prototyping, while collaborating closely with engineers and other cross-functional partners
- Clear and compelling communication skills, especially when explaining complex workflows or systems, with confidence speaking publicly and engaging large audiences
- Strong technical design skills and an understanding of how design decisions translate into development
- A passion for the design community, eagerness to engage and contribute, and comfort traveling up to 25% of the time to connect with that community in person
