Strategic Program Manager - Figma Weave (New York, United States)

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!

We're building the next chapter of AI-native craft and creativity - where craft and technology meet. Our unified platform bridges the gap between AI capabilities and human creativity, and lets professional creatives and designers harness the power of the world’s leading AI models without losing precision, expression, or soul. Together, we’re building tools that help people move faster without sacrificing quality, precision, or craft — a platform where AI supports creativity instead of flattening it.

We're looking for a Strategic Program Manager to join Figma Weave as a key partner to our executive team. You'll lead the cross-functional programs and operational systems that scale a fast-growing business—partnering with leaders across product, marketing, customer experience, and operations to take initiatives from problem framing through shipped rollout.

This role spans three layers of work in parallel: strategic program leadership, operational execution, and process automation. You'll translate strategic priorities into concrete programs with clear owners and milestones, and stay close enough to the work to ship them, measure them, and improve them. You'll identify the repetitive manual work that sits across functions and replace it with AI-powered automations that raise the operational ceiling without growing headcount. You'll build the inspection mechanisms—dashboards, reviews, planning rhythms—that turn data into decisions.

This role is for someone who thinks in systems, who instinctively resolves ambiguity rather than letting it linger, and who reaches for code or AI before reaching for a meeting. You're equally at home writing a strategic memo and shipping a script that automates a workflow.

This is a full time role based out of our New York hub.
