Figma's Business Development & Partnerships team accelerates our company goals by working with partners to enhance product experiences, expand our ecosystem, and drive user and revenue growth. As Figma's product portfolio and user base continue to evolve, the team plays a critical role in connecting our platform to a broader network of builders, developers, and solution partners.
As our product suite expands with surfaces like Weave, CMS, Slides, and FigJam, we have an opportunity to reach entirely new categories of users, and we're building the partnerships foundation that will help these products thrive. We're looking for a Product Partner Manager who can set strategy, forge and deepen relationships, and bring integrations and go-to-market programs to life across a rapidly evolving communications and collaboration landscape.
In this role you'll collaborate extensively with cross-functional teams, especially in our product organization and both new and existing partners to drive meaningful impact for Figma, our partners, and users. If you love solving ambiguous problems, aligning stakeholders, and creating win-win opportunities with partners, this may be the role for you!
What You'll Do at Figma
Develop and own the partnership strategy for key Figma products including Weave, CMS, Slides, and FigJam. You will shape how we work with key players across marketing, ads, collaboration, analytics, automation, and more.
- Work closely with product, research, marketing, and leadership teams to identify ecosystem needs, evaluate opportunities, and secure cross-functional alignment on investments
- Source, evaluate, and build relationships with new partners that help Figma reach new personas, particularly marketers, and unlock new workflows and product value
- Negotiate contracts, align internal stakeholders on terms, and manage the day-to-day health of partner relationships
- Collaborate with product, engineering and partner technical teams to scope and coordinate integrations or extensibility features needed to bring partnerships to life
- Define, track, and report success metrics for partner workstreams, ensuring measurable impact on company goals
- Lead go-to-market motions for new integrations or partnerships in collaboration with partner marketing, sales enablement, comms, and product
- Prepare and facilitate executive briefings, internal updates, and external partner meetings while owning key partner relationships and workstreams to ensure alignment, maintain momentum, and drive continued growth and impact
Requirements
We love to hear from you if you have:
- 5+ years of experience in business development, ecosystem partnerships, or strategic partner management with a track record of setting strategy and driving complex partnerships forward
- A history of leading end-to-end deals with partners including terms alignment and negotiation
- Excellent written, verbal, and presentation skills, with the ability to communicate both business and technical concepts clearly
- Strong analytical, organizational, and prioritization skills; ability to manage multiple sophisticated projects at once
- Experience working cross-functionally with product, engineering, marketing, research, operations, legal, and other internal partners to move initiatives from concept to launch
Nice to Have
- Experience in the marketing technology ecosystem or with tools used by marketers (automation platforms, analytics, CMS, form tools, social, DAMs, etc.)
- Experience owning a category or partner segment and building strategy in collaboration with product leadership
