Events Manager - Figma Weave (New York, United States)
About The Position
Figma is seeking an Events Manager for its Figma Weave division to build the company's real-world presence. This role will be responsible for major industry conferences and standalone events, aiming to increase brand awareness and generate enterprise pipeline. The position is strategic and hands-on, involving event selection, content and brand experience ownership, end-to-end event management, and close collaboration with sales and the broader marketing organization. Figma Weave focuses on AI-native craft and creativity, bridging AI capabilities with human creative judgment to empower professional creatives and enterprise teams. This is a full-time role based in New York.
Requirements
- Experience running enterprise or industry events, from strategy through execution
- Comfort working alongside sales on a pipeline-driven motion — you speak the language sales and sales enablement use
- Experience managing agencies and service providers to deliver on a brief, without doing the physical production yourself
- Confidence engaging directly with senior (VP+) stakeholders, internally and externally
- The ability to work inside a larger partner ecosystem — coordinating with internal teams and external vendors rather than building everything independently
Nice To Haves
- Experience in creative tech, design platforms, or AI tools
- Experience building brand awareness campaigns alongside a pipeline-focused events motion
Responsibilities
- Own event strategy: which events we show up at, why, and how each ties back to either brand awareness or enterprise pipeline
- At major industry conferences, own content, branding, speaking sessions, and awareness goals, partnering with Figma's central demand-gen team on lead gen, sales enablement, and booth execution
- Own Weave's standalone events end to end — third-party conference presence built specifically for Weave, and executive programs — coordinating with Figma's broader field marketing and regional teams
- Build and manage the events budget, accountable for both awareness and pipeline outcomes
- Work directly with sales to tie event activity to lead generation and pipeline goals
- Manage agencies and vendors — you own the brief and the outcome, not the physical build
- Represent Weave in front of VP+ stakeholders at events and executive programs
- Track and report on event performance, from reach and awareness to pipeline contribution
