Lead critique, sprint, and design review practices across the pillar
Advance your own skills at people management in a supportive and growth-oriented environment
Operate hands-on across both people management and strategy and execution
What they're looking for

- Deep understanding of the latest AI developments, modern tooling, and component-driven design practices
- Strong hands-on expertise with Figma's tools, with the ability to mentor and guide design teams effectively
- Proven track record of partnering cross-functionally to solve complex design: challenges and drive meaningful outcomes
