The posting, as Figma wrote it

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.

Figma is looking for a Manager, SMB Sales to join a team that spans creative, engineering, marketing, and business functions.

You'll consult with our existing customer base and potential customers in driving meaningful relationships that add value to the customer experience and revenue to our bottom line.

Our Sales org is growing and moving fast. Our next team member will be comfortable embracing change, work well as part of a team, and enjoy working with our growing footprint of Fortune 1000 customers. You won't be alone!
