About this role
Figma is seeking a Researcher for their Rapid Research program to enhance design accessibility. Join a team that values creativity and collaboration in shaping the future of design.
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.
Responsibilities
What you'll do at Figma:
- Scope and run focused research in quick sprints, using sound methods to answer the questions most likely to change a product decision.
- Turn findings into specific recommendations a designer or PM can act on, working through tradeoffs and helping the team put them into practice.
- Present product recommendations to cross-functional teams and senior leadership, telling the story behind the data, not just reporting insights.
- Rotate across product areas and teams as needed, building credibility and relationships quickly without being embedded long-term.
- Contribute beyond research studies by using our products, joining design reviews, and helping teams recognize when they have enough information to act.
- Bring clarity to ambiguous problems, challenge assumptions, and adjust the scope or approach as you learn.
- Experiment with tools, templates, and workflows to make research faster and sharper.
Requirements
We'd love to hear from you if you have:
- 7+ years of experience in research at high-growth product organizations, UX/design agencies, or strategic consultancies focused on digital experiences.
- Proficiency in mixed methods research, including qualitative approaches such as interviews and quantitative approaches such as surveys and data analysis.
- Strong product judgment, with examples of specific recommendations you made and how they shaped the product, backed by strong communication and storytelling skills with a track record of securing executive buy-in.
- Experience ramping up quickly on new projects and delivering clear recommendations in one- to two-week research sprints, turning ambiguous problems into clear questions and a practical path forward.
- A scrappy, flexible approach, adapting to changing priorities and tight timelines while maintaining sound research methods, including active use of AI tools to improve speed, quality, or scale.
Conditions & Benefits
At Figma, we offer:
- Equity to employees, as well as a competitive package of additional benefits, including health, dental, and vision coverage.
- Retirement benefits with company contributions.
- Parental leave and reproductive or family planning support.
- Mental health and wellness benefits.
- Paid time off, including paid sick leave, holidays, and other leave benefits in compliance with applicable laws.
- Flexible PTO in addition to flexible paid sick leave, subject to manager approval.
- Additional benefits may include company recharge days, cell phone and home internet reimbursements, and a number of lifestyle spending accounts.
- Sales incentive compensation for most sales roles and an annual bonus plan for eligible non-sales roles.
