Product Partner Manager

Figma Figma · Enterprise · United States · Business Development

This Product Partner Manager role at Figma focuses on developing and executing partnership strategies to enhance Figma's product offerings, expand its ecosystem, and drive user and revenue growth. The role involves identifying, evaluating, and building relationships with partners, negotiating contracts, and collaborating with internal teams (product, engineering, marketing) and external partners to bring integrations and go-to-market programs to life. While AI is mentioned as a feature Figma is iterating with, the core of this role is about business development, strategic partnerships, and product integration, not direct AI/ML development or research.
