If you're excited to shape the future of design and collaboration, join us!
At Figma, we're building tools that help teams design, build, and ship better products together. Figma Make enables teams to go from prompt to production code, and the Figma agent is a purpose-built design agent that edits files directly on the Figma canvas.
We're looking for a deeply technical product leader to lead the four teams responsible for Figma's Code area: Code Context, Design to Code, Code to Design, and Code Platform. You'll manage and grow a team of Product Managers while partnering closely with engineering, design, data, and research leaders.
This team builds the products and platform capabilities that help design and code move fluently together. You'll set the strategy for improving connecting customer codebases to Figma.
This is a full-time role that can be held from our London hub or remotely within the UK.
What you'll do at Figma:
- Lead the product aspects of the four teams driving Figma's Code area - Code Context, Design to Code and Code to Design, and Code Platform
- Set vision, strategy, and goals for how design and code stay in sync at Figma
- Own Design to Code and Code to Design workflows end to end, including quality measurement, improvement, and discoverability
- Guide the development of the code-context systems and translation primitives that power agentic workflows and round-tripping between design and code
- Manage and develop three Product Managers, hire the team's open Product Manager role, and establish a high bar for product management craft
- Partner with leaders across engineering, design, data, and research to make technical product decisions and serve needs across Figma's product suite
- Establish a strong operating cadence across the area and own adoption goals for MCP and Design to Code/Code to Design workflows
We'd love to hear from you if you have:
- 3+ years of experience managing Product Managers, with a proven track record of hiring, calibrating, and developing talent
- Deep experience shipping developer tools and AI products - has run evals, owned annotation pipelines, and made real ship/no-ship calls on model behavior
- A track record of setting strategy and executing on major initiatives in environments with deep technical and product ambiguity - and rallying an org around a bold, unproven bet
- Experience working with enterprise customers to understand their workflows and turn that into shipped product
- Excellent cross-functional collaboration and written communication with technical depth; credible in engineering reviews and with senior stakeholders
