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!
Bringing our users together through events is core to Figma’s marketing strategy, from educational livestreams and product office hours to community meetups and our global user conference, Config.
As our Experiential Marketing team continues to grow, we’re hiring a seasoned Events Manager to help scale how we plan, execute, and operationalize our programs. This is a newly created role focused on building the systems, processes, and infrastructure that power our events and team.
This role is approximately 60% event operations and systems-building, and 40% event production, with travel required at least once per quarter.
As an Events Manager, you’ll play a critical role in enabling our Tier 1 conferences, including Config, by owning end-to-end event technology and establishing strong operational foundations for the team. You’ll also contribute to the execution of smaller community events and third-party sponsorships, helping ensure consistency and quality across every touchpoint.
This is a full-time role that can be held from one of our US hubs or remotely in the United States.

• Own and manage end-to-end event technology for Tier 1 events, including registration platforms and reporting

• Own relationships with event technology and production vendors, ensuring seamless execution and continuous optimization
• Own planning and execution of key workstreams, like registration framework and strategy, for our annual user conference, Config
• Support in developing strategy and executing smaller-scale community events, developer events, and third-party sponsorships
