We're hiring an Executive Recruiter to help shape the next generation of senior leadership at Figma. In this highly strategic role, you'll partner closely with senior leaders to define and deliver searches for some of our most critical hires across the business, spanning Director, VP, and C-suite roles.

You'll serve as a trusted advisor throughout the search process - from shaping the role and talent strategy through offer and close. You'll bring a strong point of view on the executive talent market, leading talent mapping, market research, and competitive intelligence to help leaders make thoughtful hiring decisions. Along the way, you'll build trusted relationships with exceptional senior leaders and deliver a high-touch candidate experience. Given the visibility and confidential nature of these searches, you'll operate with a high degree of autonomy, judgment, and discretion.

This is a full time role that can be held from one of our US hubs or remotely in the United States.

What you’ll do at Figma:

• Own full-cycle executive searches end-to-end, from intake and role scoping through pipeline generation, assessment, offer negotiation, and close - for Director, VP, and above roles across the entire Figma business
• Serve as a strategic partner and trusted advisor to senior hiring leaders, helping shape search strategy, calibrate candidate profiles, and navigate org design and talent decisions
• Lead in-depth talent mapping and market research across industries, competitors, and adjacent spaces to build a real-time understanding of the executive talent landscape
• Act as a brand steward, ensuring every touchpoint—with candidates, hiring leaders, and the business—reflects Figma's values, quality, and attention to craft
• Lead offer strategy and negotiation for senior candidates, balancing candidate experience with business needs
• Continuously refine search and partnership approaches based on market signals, hiring outcomes, and stakeholder feedback

We'd love to hear from you if you have:

• 8+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with at least 2+ years focused on executive hiring
• Experience hiring for both technical and non-technical leadership roles in house
• A track record of owning searches end-to-end and closing senior le
