Designer Advocate - Figma Weave (New York, United States)

Figma is growing our team of passionate creatives and builders on a mission to make design accessible to all. Figma’s platform helps teams bring ideas to life - whether you're brainstorming, creating a prototype, translating designs into code, or iterating with AI. From idea to product, Figma empowers teams to streamline workflows, move faster, and work together in real time from anywhere in the world. If you're excited to shape the future of design and collaboration, join us!

We're building the next chapter of AI-native craft and creativity - where craft and technology meet. Our unified platform bridges the gap between AI capabilities and human creativity, and lets professional creatives and designers harness the power of the world’s leading AI models without losing precision, expression, or soul. Together, we’re building tools that help people move faster without sacrificing quality, precision, or craft - a platform where AI supports creativity instead of flattening it.

Our Designer Advocates are at the core of our mission - online, in written and video content, and in live interactions with our users. This Designer Advocate will be a Workflow Builder - someone who helps creative teams design and scale their own systems. You’ll work at the intersection of art and technology, showing how AI and human creativity can flow together inside Figma Weave. It’s a mix of teaching, building, and inspiring, helping professionals turn their creative process into powerful, repeatable workflows. You will be a key partner to support our sales and marketing team in helping add design credibility and product knowledge to our messaging and conversations with users and new teams looking to adopt Figma Weave. If you love our products and already find yourself advocating to everyone you know, reach out!

This is a full time role that can be held from our New York Hub.

What you'll do at Figma Weave:

• Enable Figma Weave users at scale: Produce standard methodology guides, create resources, and host live streams to help our users better understand how to use the tool and encourage others to share their takeaways and experiences
• Sales enablement: For key high value accounts, join sales demos to explain the product, share standard methodologies, and answer in-depth questions
• Motivate and empower the community: Maintain and establish relationships with users in the community and find opportunities to collaborate
• Events: Speak regularly at meet ups and conferences. Support community advocates managing events worldwide
• Advocate for users with the product team: Keep a pulse on community sentiment on product releases and emerging themes. Share product feedback from the community with PM & Design in an organised, systematic way. Act as trusted advisor for launches to prepare for community reaction

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

• Experience building AI-driven creative workflows or generative pipelines
• Familiarity with node-based or procedural tools (e.g., ComfyUI, Houdini, TouchDesigner, Runway, or similar)
• Ability to translate creative processes into repeatable systems or workflows that others can adopt
• Experience teaching, documenting, or sharing workflows with creative or technical audiences, including through events or live demos (travel up to 25%)
• Deep expertise in a creative domain such as motion, VFX, post-production, design systems, or creative automation
