Job description
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!
Our team of Customer Experience Managers (CEMs) work closely with some of Figma’s largest customers to drive engagement, adoption, and value realization. Now, we’re looking for an experienced and passionate leader to help scale this function globally.
As the Manager, Customer Enablement, you will lead a team of CEMs who partner deeply with select Mid-Market, Enterprise, and Strategic customers. You’ll help shape the strategy of the CEM team, coach and develop individual contributors, and contribute to the broader goals of Figma’s Customer Experience organization. We’re seeking someone who has helped scale post-sales functions in high-growth SaaS environments and is deeply motivated by helping customers succeed and realize business value by using our platform.
If you’re energized by enabling and developing customer-facing teams, and you have a background in SaaS and/or product design and development tools, we’d love to hear from you.
This is a full time hybrid role based in our London hub.
What you’ll do at Figma:
- Lead, manage, and grow a team of high-performing CEMs
- Set clear goals and expectations, provide mentorship and coaching, and support career development
- Partner with Sales, Support, Product, and Marketing to ensure customer needs are met and exceeded
- Refine and scale playbooks and best practices for CEMs
- Drive operational excellence through team processes, tooling, and reporting
- Ensure the team is delivering exceptional value and experience across our enterprise customer base
- Regularly engage directly with customers and address a blocking issue when needed (while this is a leadership role, we anticipate this position to embody strong player-coach dynamics)
- Represent the voice of the customer internally and influence product strategy
We’d love to hear from you if you have:
- 3–5+ years of formal people management experience in Customer Experience, Customer Success, or a similar post-sales function
- 5–8+ years of total experience in customer-facing roles within high-growth SaaS companies
- A proven ability to lead, encourage, and scale teams, especially through growth and change
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to connect with a wide range of customer personas
- Excellent cross-functional collaboration skills with the ability to influence and align across Technical Support, Product, Engineering, Sales, and Marketing
- Prioritizing customer needs with strong critical thinking and execution skills
- Experience supporting or working with design, research, or development teams is a strong plus
- A passion for building inclusive, thoughtful, and high-performance team cultures
While not required, it’s a bonus if you have:
- Familiarity with design systems, product development workflows, or Figma itself
- Experience in a similar role at a design, collaboration, or productivity-focused SaaS company
- A background in UX/UI, Design Ops, or Frontend Development
- Fluency or proficiency in additional languages, such as German, French, Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean
