Designer Advocate (London, United Kingdom)

Our Advocacy team drives this mission - building impactful content, high-value interactions, and a strong user voice. We're looking for a Designer Advocate to partner closely with our Marketing, Sales, and Product teams. You'll bring deep design expertise, strong product intuition, and a genuine love for the design community into our go-to-market strategies, while championing our users' voices internally to help shape our product evolution.

This is a full time hybrid role based out of our London hub.

What you'll do at Figma:

Empower users at scale: Collaborate closely with Sales and Customer Experience teams to help customers unlock the full potential of Figma across real product workflows

Create compelling content: Develop written, visual, and video resources that reflect how modern teams actually design and build, from early exploration to production-ready systems

Inspire community connections: Foster meaningful relationships within the Figma community, identify collaboration opportunities, and nurture user-driven initiatives

Speak and engage at events: Regularly present at industry meetups, conferences, and community events, sharing practical insights from real-world design work

Champion user voices: Stay attuned to community feedback, sentiment, and emerging design trends—advocating internally to inform product decisions and improvements

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

Deep, hands-on Figma expertise and an entrepreneurial drive, with experience integrating Figma within real product teams and a track record of taking ideas from early exploration to impactful, polished outcomes

A thorough understanding of modern product design workflows and development environments, with experience building, managing, and using design systems, tokens, and AI-assisted design or prototyping, while collaborating closely with engineers and other cross-functional partners

Clear and compelling communication skills, especially when explaining complex workflows or systems, with confidence speaking publicly and engaging large audiences

Strong technical design skills and an understanding of how design decisions translate into development

A passion for the design community, eagerness to engage and contribute, and comfort traveling up to 25% of the time to connect with that community in person

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

Experience working with developer handoff tools or code-connected design workflows

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.
