Figma is growing our team of passionate creatives and builders on a mission to make design accessible to all. 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!

At Figma, we’re building a vibrant community where designers come together to learn, grow, and connect around their shared passion. Our Advocacy team is central to this mission—empowering our users through engaging content, meaningful interactions, and genuine advocacy.

This Advocate would focus on supporting public sector organizations as they modernize how they design, build, and collaborate, partnering closely with our Marketing, Sales, and Product teams. You’ll bring deep design expertise, authentic storytelling, and a genuine love for the design community into our go‑to‑market strategies, while championing our users’ voices internally to help shape product evolution.

This role is available remotely in the Washington, DC Metro Area, and reports directly to the Advocacy Manager.

What you’ll do at Figma:

Empower users at scale: Collaborate closely with Sales and Customer Experience teams to enable federal, state, and local government customers to unlock the full potential of Figma in regulated environments
Create compelling content: Develop engaging written and video resources tailored to governmental needs, including guidance on design systems, collaboration, and modern delivery practices
Inspire community connections: Build meaningful relationships across the Figma community with a focus on public sector, govtech, and civic design practitioners, identifying opportunities for collaboration and shared learning
Speak and engage at events: Represent Figma at relevant industry events, conferences, briefings, and Figma community programs, sharing practical, real-world insights
Champion user voices: Surface feedback, constraints, and emerging needs from government and regulated customers, advocating internally to inform product direction, prioritization, and improvements

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

Deep, hands-on expertise with Figma, including integrating it into diverse, large-scale, and regulated design and development environments
Strong understanding of modern product development workflows, with experience building, managing, or operating design systems at scale
Technical fluency and sharp design judgment, with a clear point of view on how design translates into production-ready systems
Passion for engaging with the design community—especially in govtech or civic spaces—and confidence presenting to audiences ranging from small stakeholders to large industry groups
Empathy for public sector designers and developers, paired with an entrepreneurial mindset to navigate ambiguity, experiment, travel extensively (25%+), and turn ideas into impact

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.
