Executive Assistant, Product

As an Executive Assistant in Product, you’ll be responsible for keeping VPs and their pillars organized as we scale for growth. In this role, you'll work directly with your leaders to manage day-to-day administrative and operational needs, partner closely with their leadership teams, and collaborate cross-functionally within the broader Tech Org. As a strategic partner with an eye for identifying gaps, you will drive processes, rhythms, and operate as a trusted partner across various stakeholders to drive outcomes. Our Product team is growing quickly, which provides an opportunity to have a tremendous impact on the success of our product and Figma as a whole.

This is a full-time role that can be held from one of our US hubs (SF or NYC) or remotely in the United States. Note: the role requires working PT hours.

What you'll do at Figma:

• Proactively manage VP calendars, meetings, business travel arrangements, and expenses
• Act as a delegate for the VP, signing off for expenses, PO approval, and various other tooling (as needed) with careful attention to internal policy
• Partner with operations leadership to craft agendas and logistics for seamless large-scale meetings–tracking content readiness, taking notes, and pushing forward on relevant action items
• Identify opportunities for workflow optimization around business deliverables, VP efficiency, and function or company rhythms
• Be a strategic thought partner to the CPO's EA, VPs and their leadership teams, with a focus on design operations, process, and long-term planning
• Drive outcomes for complex problems across internal teams to ensure cross-functional alignment on projects, company milestones, and internal events
• Build culture and connection across company hubs and remote Figmates, bringing the team together and embodying Figma's 'Play' value

We'd love to hear from you if you have:

• 5+ years of executive support within a fast-paced tech environment, fully grasping the ability to anticipate tradeoffs and act independently to make decisions
• An affinity for AI and the ability to build creative workflows to improve operational efficiency
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with sharp judgment and experience as a trusted thought partner to leaders—surfacing risks, influencing priorities, shaping how their time is spent, and representing leaders across internal and external stakeholders in person, virtually, and via email, while being unafraid to provide pushback and upward feedback
• A thoughtful and inclusive lens with a track record of trustworthiness, reliability, and discretion with confidential information
• Advanced-level skills in Google Suite products (Gmail, GCal, Google Drive – Docs, Sheets)

While it's not required, it's an added plus if you also have:

• An affinity for Figma and an interest in becoming an expert in our product
• Previous experience supporting technical or AI-focused teams

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.
