This role is approximately 60% event operations and systems-building, and 40% event production, with travel required at least once per quarter.
As an Events Manager, you’ll play a critical role in enabling our Tier 1 conferences, including Config, by owning end-to-end event technology and establishing strong operational foundations for the team. You’ll also contribute to the execution of smaller community events and third-party sponsorships, helping ensure consistency and quality across every touchpoint.
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:
- Build and scale operational systems and processes to support Figma’s growing experiential marketing team
- Own and manage end-to-end event technology for Tier 1 events, including registration platforms and reporting
- Establish best practices for event planning, execution, and post-event analysis to improve efficiency and consistency across programs
- Develop and track key event metrics (e.g., attendance, engagement, pipeline impact), and partner cross-functionally to measure success
- Own relationships with event technology and production vendors, ensuring seamless execution and continuous optimization
- Own planning and execution of key workstreams, like registration framework and strategy, for our annual user conference, Config
- Support in developing strategy and executing smaller-scale community events, developer events, and third-party sponsorships
- Support on-site execution, including logistics, run-of-show management, and post-event retrospectives
We’d love to hear from you if you have:
- 5+ years of experience in event production, event technology, event marketing, or related fields
- Strong experience building or improving event operations, systems and processes
- Excellent cross-functional collaboration skills with marketing, partnerships, and brand teams
- Familiarity with Figma and a strategic mindset with a hands-on approach; you’re comfortable switching between high-level planning and detailed execution
- A passion for creating meaningful attendee experiences and a deep familiarity with event tech stack optimization and integrations
