Director, Creative Brand Expression

We’re looking for a Director, Creative Brand Expression to join Figma’s Brand Studio and drive critical parts of our portfolio. This role is as much about growing a team as it is about growing the work. We’re looking for someone who leads with both. This isn’t a role that executes inside someone else’s system. You’ll set the direction, pitch concepts, and lead a small, but mighty team through to final execution across a range of surfaces — from campaigns to major events.

You’ll lead, manage, and grow a team of designers, balancing hands-on creative direction with the craft instincts to jump in when the work calls for it. You care as much about how an idea is pitched and shaped in its earliest form as you do about how it lands in its final execution.

You’ll partner closely with cross-functional creative leadership across Brand Studio, Marketing, and Product to keep your brand distinct, expressive, and unmistakably Figma — balancing experimentation and surprise with clarity, intentionality, and strong system thinking.

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 develop a team of 4–7 world-class designers, hiring to fill gaps as your portion of the portfolio scales
• Partner with senior creative stakeholders, product designers, and marketers to improve team process and execution, and coach your team through setting creative direction and priorities
• Develop a strong point of view on how Figma’s brand shows up in your area and successfully advocate for it across the organization
• Run and improve team rituals like critiques, reviews, and creative sprints
• Stay in the work — balancing people leadership with direct craft contribution and execution
• Set and maintain a high creative bar through feedback, direction, and coaching
