Job Description
Figma is seeking an experienced Technical Program Manager to join its CIO PMO and lead the program operating system for the internal AI tooling portfolio. Figma provides a collaborative platform that enables teams to brainstorm, prototype, translate designs into code, and iterate with artificial intelligence in real time from anywhere. In this role, the successful candidate will partner closely with engineering and product leaders to translate an emerging roadmap into coordinated, secure, and scalable capabilities utilized across the entire organization.
This position suits a professional capable of bringing structured organization to a fast-paced and ambiguous environment without adding redundant processes. The individual will coordinate cross-functional workstreams involving security, legal, procurement, data engineering, business systems, IT, and enablement teams. Responsibilities include defining clear project ownership, establishing lightweight governance, managing risks and dependencies, and facilitating smooth transitions from intake through release.
The position is available as a full-time role based out of US hubs, including Austin, or remotely across the United States. New hires are required to attend in-person onboarding. Figma provides a comprehensive benefits package including health coverage, retirement contributions, equity, paid time off, and flexible leave options.

- Monitor and resolve dependencies, risks, and blockers across multiple technical workstreams
- Coordinate security reviews, legal milestones, vendor commitments, and business system integrations
- Set up acceptance criteria, runbooks, support workflows, and operational handoffs prior to product releases
- Collaborate with product teams to track measurable outcomes and report on adoption readiness and operational performance
Requirements
- Minimum of five years of technical delivery or technical program management experience in SaaS, enterprise technology, cloud, or internal tools settings
- Demonstrated history of driving complex programs across product, engineering, legal, data, security, and operations stakeholders
- Proven ability to convert product roadmaps into structured plans with clear ownership boundaries
- Technical fluency regarding enterprise systems, application programming interfaces, data flows, platform dependencies, and software delivery lifecycles
- Strong communication, facilitation, and influencing skills to establish governance without direct authority
Qualifications
- Hands-on experience delivering internal artificial intelligence tooling, platform, or product programs in fast-changing tech environments
- Familiarity with responsible artificial intelligence, model governance, data privacy, security, and risk-management frameworks
- Background in enterprise software-as-a-service, low-code automation, middleware, identity platforms, or procurement processes
- Experience handling change management, user enablement, enterprise adoption, or establishing brand-new program management practices
