As Director, Monetization Strategy on our Business Operations team, you'll set and drive Figma's monetization strategy across pricing, packaging, our AI credit and consumption models, and the evolution of our business model itself. You'll lead a small, high-leverage team and quarterback decisions that reach the CFO, CPO, and CEO. This is a role for a broad, strategic operator who brings structure to ambiguous, company-defining problems and drives them to resolution — not a pricing specialist.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">This is a full time role that can be held from one of our US hubs or remotely in the United States.</p> <h4 class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal"><strong>What you'll do at Figma:</strong></h4> <ul class="[li_&amp;]:mb-0 [li_&amp;]:mt-1 [li_&amp;]:gap-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3"> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Own Figma's monetization strategy, leading the development and execution of pricing, packaging, and business model initiatives</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Drive cross-functional decision-making on high-impact strategic opportunities, partnering with executive stakeholders to align on direction and outcomes</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Lead and develop a high-performing team, raising the bar for strategic thinking, analytical rigor, and executive communication</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Partner with Product, Finance, Engineering, and GTM teams to translate monetization strategies into product, operational, and commercial outcomes</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Define monetization approaches for emerging areas of the business, including AI-powered experiences, consumption-based offerings, APIs, and acquisitions</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Influence company planning by bringing a monetization perspective to long-term strategy, investment decisions, and growth opportunities</li> </ul> <h4 class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal"><strong>We'd love to hear from you if you have:</strong></h4> <ul class="[li_&amp;]:mb-0 [li_&amp;]:mt-1 [li_&amp;]:gap-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3"> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">12+ years of experience spanning strategy consulting, private equity operations, business operations, product strategy, growth, revenue strategy, or related functions within high-growth technology companies</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Demonstrated success developing business strategies and driving executive decisions on complex, ambiguous, and high-impact business challenges</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Experience shaping monetization strategies, including pricing, packaging, business model design, or consumption-based offerings</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Experience leading and developing high-performing teams and influencing senior stakeholders across multiple functions</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Strong business, financial, and analytical acumen, with the ability to communicate complex ideas clearly to executive audiences</li> </ul> <h4 class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal"><strong>While it's not required, it's an added plus if you also have:</strong></h4> <ul class="[li_&amp;]:mb-0 [li_&amp;]:mt-1 [li_&amp;]:gap-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3"> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Developed usage-based or consumption-based pricing strategies</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Built financial models to support strategic decision-making and investment planning</li> <li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Utilized SQL or similar analytical tools to evaluate business performance and customer behavior</li> </ul> <p>At Figma, one of our values is Grow as you go.
