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. If you're excited to shape the future of design and collaboration, join us!
Figma is looking for a Director, Enterprise Sales (2nd line leader) to shape our sales strategy and collaborate with teams across the company. You aren't the typical sales leader, and we aren't the typical design tool company. With this role you'll get in at the ground floor in a fast growing sales org.
Our next team member will have an agile, dynamic mentality, be comfortable embracing change, a true team-player, and love working with our growing footprint of Fortune 1000 customers. Figma has an incredible team and you'll work closely with other groups including Support, Design, Engineering, Product Marketing, Customer Success, and Community.
As a Director, Enterprise Sales, you will lead a team of Account Executives responsible for the engagement, expansion and retention of our rapidly growing customer base. You will report to the VP of Northern EMEA. This is a full time role that can be held from our London hub.
What you'll do at Figma:
- Evaluate and implement playbooks, and systems needed to support a high-growth team
- Test and refine growth and acquisition strategies through data, segment-specific value drivers, and compelling stories
- Develop strong internal partnerships and collaborate cross functionally to increase revenue opportunities to improve deal progressions
- Build, develop, and inspire a team of high-performing Account Executives and leaders by creating scalable, data driven processes that drive team and company goals
- Be accountable for selling to existing customers and net new customers
- Interview, hire, and train new team members as we scale the business and company
We'd love to hear from you if you have:
- 10+ years of experience in sales and 5+ years of experience developing teams
- Prior experience leading both managers and Enterprise Account Executives
- Proven experience leading and building successful, collaborative, and hard-working sales teams
- A proven track record of leading Sales teams to consistently meet and exceed goals
- Understanding of our technical and competitive landscape
While it's not required, it's an added plus if you also have:
- 1+ years of experience in second line leadership within a B2B SaaS company
- Experience using or working with Figma, or other UX/UI experience
- Ability to thrive in a constantly changing and evolving environment
- Experience with Command of the Message or MEDDIC sales methodology
