The Opportunity

Figma's Finance Data Science team is expanding at a pivotal moment. As a public company, the accuracy, scalability, and sophistication of our financial data systems are paramount. Simultaneously, Figma's business continues to evolve through new products, AI-powered offerings, acquisitions, and emerging revenue models.

• Build scalable reporting systems, forecasts, and analytical frameworks supporting Finance, Accounting, Investor Relations, and executive leadership.
• Drive data accuracy and completeness across month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close processes in collaboration with Strategic Finance and Accounting teams.
• Collaborate with Engineering, Product, GTM Systems, and Financial Systems teams to ensure financial data completeness and accuracy.
• Conduct deep-dive analyses to inform strategic decisions and uncover opportunities for business performance improvement.
• Define, measure, and operationalize key financial and operational metrics.
• Design and implement durable data solutions that balance immediate stakeholder needs with long-term scalability.
• Serve as a trusted thought partner to Finance leaders, guiding reporting, forecasting, and decision-making.

• Experience supporting Finance, Accounting, Strategic Finance, FP&A, Investor Relations, or other finance-focused stakeholders.
• Demonstrated ability to translate complex data into clear, actionable business insights for non-technical stakeholders.
• Experience working independently and driving projects from ambiguity to execution.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with SaaS, subscription-based, usage-based, or consumption-based business models.
• Knowledge of accounting concepts and revenue recognition principles (ASC 606).
• Experience with modern analytics and data engineering tools such as DBT, Snowflake, Git, Spark, Presto, or similar technologies.
• Experience supporting IPO readiness, public company reporting, SOX controls, audits, or other major corporate milestones.
