Figma’s Legal Team is looking for a Director to build and lead our product counseling function team at an exciting time for our growing business. This is an incredible opportunity for a business‑minded lawyer deeply curious about AI and looking to make a real impact at what is still an early stage of our Legal Team’s growth. Your job will be to set the bar for excellence and manage a small team of lawyers. You will need to set a strategy for our Product Counseling function to be a competitive advantage for Figma, integrating the function with our business teams. You will report to the Legal VP of Product, Privacy, Marketing and IP.
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:
Be integrated with product managers, designers, researchers, analysts, engineers, and others to help them solve problems and achieve business objectives while minimizing risk. Provide advice, strategic vision, and legal direction to a wide variety of teams from the initial stages of project development to launch. Serve as liaison between your product teams and leaders of other legal functions—across corporate, commercial, international, IP, and privacy. Build a best‑in‑class function here at Figma by hiring well, setting high expectations with your own IC work, and providing strong management to ensure your Senior Product Counsel are set up for success. Ensure we provide deeply practical and tailored advice while also finding ways to scale our legal advice. We'd love to hear from you if you have:
10+ years of legal practice experience, with at least 5+ years specializing in a product counsel role in‑house. 4+ years of management experience. J.D. degree from an ABA‑accredited law school (or foreign equivalent). Membership in at least one U.S. State Bar, with good standing. Ability to translate sophisticated legal concepts into practical and actionable advice for a non‑legal audience. While not required, it’s an added plus if you also have:
Familiarity with global product launches in SaaS environments. Pay Transparency Disclosure
