Responsibilities
- Take Figma's most ambiguous, highest-stakes business questions from "no one knows" to a decision we can act on — and own the outcome

- Build and lead a small, exceptional team; set the bar for structured thinking and exec-ready synthesis
- Be the partner Product, Finance, Engineering, and GTM want in the room when the problem is hard
- Bring a sharp, independent voice into company planning and our biggest capital-allocation calls
Skills
- You're always the one handed the hardest, vaguest, most important problems
- Pair a top-tier strategy foundation (management consulting, private equity, or investing) with operating experience at a high-growth software company (Product, Growth, Strategy & Ops, or BizOps) or a top-tier PE/VC firm
- Have a track record of taking ambiguous, company-defining problems from zero structure to executive decision
- Communicate with exec-level clarity and influence senior leaders without authority
- Reason fluently about a P&L and a business model — strong business and financial instincts
- Lead and develop people
- Exposure to monetization, pricing & packaging, or business-model design — especially in the AI/consumption era
- Hands-on financial modeling / SQL
