You’ll work in a fast-paced, agile environment where innovation is valued and encouraged, leveraging AI technology for both efficiency and creativity. You’ll also have the space to be creative in delivering impactful learning opportunities for our audiences. Ultimately, you’ll help ensure Figma’s customers receive the support they need.

• Leverage AI to move faster in building training programs and developing simulation or practice environments that support real-world application of learning content
• Partner with internal knowledge management teams to document processes, products, and feature updates, and to build a well-rounded enablement strategy that ensures Specialists are informed and equipped to resolve customer questions
• Assess training needs and knowledge gaps through close collaboration with Support teams and managers to understand (and replicate) where customers are getting stuck and where Support can help unblock them
• Analyze training effectiveness through business-focused metrics such as speed, quality, and customer satisfaction

• Experience prioritizing competing requests and navigating ambiguity to achieve strong outcomes
• Ability to manage constantly evolving projects while providing clarity and vision to key stakeholders
• Desire to collaborate effectively and identify the most impactful ways to serve your audiences

• Familiarity with Figma products
• Experience working in fast-paced support environments
• Exposure to working at a global scale
• Track record of developing unique assessment strategies to identify knowledge gaps and opportunities
