• Build and shape the future of our Scalable Support function, aligning the goals and strategies of our Community and Product Education teams, ensuring we are focused on crafting premium self-service experiences for our customers.
• Improve deflection and customer education through effective self-serve, educational content strategy, and other key initiatives, ensuring that we provide a stellar experience throughout the entire customer journey.
• Partner with Support Operations on strategic direction and implementation of automation tooling (i.e. AI chatbots, Zendesk triggers, etc.) to improve our contact flow and help our customers self-solve with ease.
• Communicate clear vision and purpose, helping to draw the connection between Scalable Support and our broader company goals.
• Deliver quality support on Twitter, our forum, and other community platforms, ensuring our customers experience a responsive and engaging experience.
• Collaborate with cross-functional content teams to drive growth for Figma’s YouTube channel.

We'd love to hear from you if you have:

• Strong technical capability and written communication skills, with the ability to turn complex ideas into easily understood concepts.
• Experience building high performing help centers and community forums.
• A strong strategic mindset and comfort with navigating ambiguity with the ability to anticipate future trends.
• Familiarity with design processes and tools are a plus!

• Experience building and leading support initiatives in the constantly evolving growth and excitement of a start-up culture.
