Figma is growing our team of passionate people on a mission to make design accessible to all. Born on the Web, Figma helps entire product teams brainstorm, design and build better products — from start to finish. Whether it’s consolidating tools, simplifying workflows, or collaborating across teams and time zones, Figma makes the design process faster, more efficient, and fun while keeping everyone on the same page. From great products to long-lasting companies, we believe that nothing great is made alone—come make with us!

As an Executive Assistant to the General Counsel, you’ll be responsible for keeping the Legal team organized, helping them focus on scaling for growth, and fine-tuning our product offerings. In this role, you’ll be directly supporting the General Counsel to strategically manage day-to-day administrative and operational needs, while also working closely with the Legal leadership team and cross-functionally with the broader G&A Orgs and stakeholders across Figma.

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:

  • Manage calendars, meetings, business travel arrangements, expenses, and inbox management
  • Act as a delegate for the General Counsel, signing off on expenses, PO approvals, and various other tools as needed, with careful attention to internal policy
  • Identify areas to optimize Legal Leadership’s time and make recommendations regarding time management, prioritization, and business needs
  • Drive leadership meetings by organizing the agenda, taking notes, and moving relevant action items forward
  • Lead large-scale planning for monthly and quarterly meetings, coordinating content and slides
  • Coordinate in-person leadership offsites, including working with external venues and internal stakeholders
  • Prepare and/or build materials for the General Counsel within Figma and FigJam
  • Identify opportunities for process optimization throughout team and company processes
  • Partner with internal teams to ensure cross-functional alignment on projects, company milestones, and internal events
  • Ad hoc project management

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

  • 6+ years of experience in an administrative or support role
  • Supported teams of 30+ people
  • Experience working in a fast-paced environment and can adapt quickly to changing demands
  • Expertise in prioritizing and anticipating team needs
  • A history of trust, reliability, and maintaining confidentiality
  • Expert communication skills and can communicate with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders in person, virtually, and over email
  • Are thoughtful and promote inclusivity

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

  • An affinity for Figma and a curiosity about becoming an expert in our product
  • Previous experience with Legal and/or G&A teams
  • A desire to be a strategic thought partner
