Job description
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!
Figma's Product Legal team is growing! We are seeking a proactive, business-minded Senior Product Counsel to join our team. In this role, you will act as a primary legal partner for our Product, Design, and Engineering (PDE) teams, helping them navigate novel, complex legal questions as our product releases accelerate. We are looking for a strategic thinker with an ownership mentality who can help us build a practical, forward-looking approach to risk management. You'll report to the Director, Product Legal, and play a pivotal role in shaping how we scale legal guidance across the organization.
This is a full time role that can be held from one of our US hubs or remotely in the United States.
What you’ll do at Figma:
- Partner directly with Figma's Product, Design, Engineering, and other cross-functional teams to provide practical legal guidance on product development and go-to-market strategy
- Review product user experiences, disclosures, and external marketing and communications materials to mitigate legal risk while helping our teams achieve their goals
- Partner with cross-functional Legal teams (Commercial, IP, Regulatory) to ensure cohesive strategy and support
- Advise on legal issues relating to data protection, privacy, consumer protection, IP, and evolving AI-specific laws and regulations
- Develop and build out the processes, resources, and scaffolding needed to help our team scale our legal guidance as our product releases accelerate
- Identify and communicate emerging legal risks early in the product development cycle to enable faster, more confident decision-making
We'd love to hear from you if you have:
- In-depth experience counseling on legal issues relating to technology, IP, privacy, data protection, consumer protection, and AI
- Proven ownership mentality, including hands-on engagement with product details, process-building from scratch, and independent prioritization
- A business-first, solution-oriented approach, including comfort making independent decisions and taking smart risks with imperfect information
- Demonstrated interest in AI and experience advising on AI-powered products or platforms
- You have 8+ years of legal experience & J.D. degree from an ABA accredited law school (or foreign equivalent) and is U.S.-qualified
While not required, it’s an added plus if you also have:
- Experience working in-house at a SaaS company
- Familiarity with using and advising on ML/AI products
- A technical background is a huge plus
