  • Lead in-depth talent mapping and market research across industries, competitors, and adjacent spaces
  • Translate research into actionable sourcing strategies and high-quality candidate pipelines
  • Act as a brand steward, ensuring every touchpoint to both candidates and the business reflects Figmas values, quality, and attention to craft
  • Identify and engage passive executive talent with highly personalized, insight-driven outreach
  • Track and synthesize talent data to inform hiring decisions and calibrate search strategies
  • Continuously refine search approaches based on market signals and stakeholder feedback
Wed love to hear from you if you have:

  • Deep experience in talent mapping, market research, and competitive intelligence
  • Ability to build structured insights from ambiguous or evolving information
  • Exceptional written communication skills, especially in crafting tailored outreach to senior candidates
  • Experience with advising and influencing senior stakeholders
While not required, its an added plus if you also have:
  • Experience in product-driven or design-led technology companies
  • Experience supporting global searches or building international talent maps
  • Demonstrated curiosity and interest in applying AI or new technologies to recruiting and sourcing practices

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 youre excited about this role but your past experience doesnt align perfectly with the points outlined in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
