Job Details

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, developers and adjacent roles 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.

We're looking for a Designer Advocate to partner 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. You'll also champion our users' voices internally, ensuring their perspectives shape our product evolution.

This is a full-time position based at our Singapore hub.

What you'll do at Figma:

  • Empower users at scale: Collaborate closely with our Sales and Customer Experience teams, enabling customers to unlock the full potential of Figma.
  • Create compelling content: Develop engaging written and video resources that educate, inspire, and resonate with designers everywhere.
  • 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 Figma community events, amplifying our voice and sharing valuable insights.
  • 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 expertise with Figma and experience integrating it within diverse design, development and engineering teams.
  • Are passionate about engaging with and contributing to the design community.
  • Are confident and comfortable speaking publicly, with the ability to captivate large audiences.
  • Have a thorough understanding of modern product design workflows and deep experience building, managing, or using design systems.
  • Familiarity with developer workflows, modern component-based frameworks, and development tool chains
  • Can empathize with and address the evolving challenges faced by designers, especially those working at scale or alongside design-adjacent roles.
  • Possess strong technical design skills with meticulous attention to interface details.
  • Are entrepreneurial at heart—excited about bringing ideas from initial experiments to impactful, polished outcomes.
  • Are comfortable traveling up to 25% of the time to connect with our community in person.

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

  • Strong listening and facilitation skills, a passion for storytelling with attention to detail, quality and accuracy
  • Bilingual proficiency in another APAC language (Korean, Bahasa, Thai, Vietnamese, etc.)

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.
