Video is one of the most powerful ways we bring the Figma brand to life and we are building the function to match that ambition. As a Video Strategist you will define what video does for this brand and build the operation that delivers it: the strategy the franchises people come back for the production model behind them and eventually the team that runs it all. You will sit within Brand Marketing and partner closely with design creative comms product marketing community and advocacy to turn complex product and customer stories into work people want to watch and share.

This is a rare combination. Figma is a beloved brand with a creative community that already wants to hear from us and a video function that is still yours to build.

This is a full time role based in San Francisco or New York hub or remotely in the United States.

• Set the strategy: Define the role video plays across brand social editorial product launch community and event moments. Own the format architecture and the prioritization framework that decides what we make and what we pass on
• Build franchises: Create and run a portfolio of recurring video programs that compound audience over time alongside the campaign and launch work. Own the development pipeline for new formats and the call to renew evolve or retire a series
• Build the engine: Decide what we produce in-house what goes to agencies and directors and what we source from creators with the economics behind each. Own the video budget and vendor relationships and build the standards we are missing today around briefing review rights and asset reuse
• Lead the craft: Set and hold the quality bar for video made anywhere under the Figma brand. Write and approve briefs run creative reviews and enable cross-functional teams producing their own video with guardrails and coaching rather than gatekeeping
• Measure what matters: Partner with our Brand Marketing Technologist to define what good looks like for each format and franchise instrument it and report it in a way that changes what we make next
• Grow the team: Lead hire and develop the video team and the external bench and make the case for the resourcing the strategy requires
