This is a full time role that can be held from one of our US hubs or remotely in the United States.
What you'll do at Figma:
- Lead strategic security programs from planning through execution, coordinating priorities, dependencies, risks, and accountability across security and business teams
- Partner with teams across Figma to identify and address security risks, align stakeholders, and translate security priorities into practical guidance and action plans
- Define and track security program metrics, OKRs, risk registers, and reporting that give leadership visibility into program health, priorities, and risk posture
- Identify and coordinate the remediation of security gaps by partnering with control owners, security specialists, and business stakeholders to drive issues to resolution
- Design and implement scalable security practices, including policies, processes, operating models, and change management plans that support long-term adoption
- Drive security awareness and engagement through company-wide training, communications, and educational initiatives in partnership with teams across Figma
- Support security leadership with strategic planning and portfolio management, including preparing leadership briefings, coordinating decisions, and driving follow-through on key commitments
We'd love to hear from you if you have:
- 5+ years of experience in security program management, security business partnership, or a related strategic role within information security
- Demonstrated experience leading complex, cross-functional security programs from planning through execution, including developing program metrics, OKRs, risk registers, or dashboards that provide leadership visibility into performance and risk
- Working knowledge of information security frameworks and practices, such as NIST CSF, SOC 2, ISO 27001, or equivalent frameworks
- Demonstrated ability to communicate security risks, priorities, and tradeoffs to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, including senior leaders
- Experience developing or delivering security initiatives that drive organizational adoption, such as security awareness, training, risk remediation, or change management initiatives
While it's not required, it's an added plus if you also have:
- Experience supporting security or technical leadership in a chief of staff, business operations, or portfolio management capacity
- Knowledge of enterprise or quantitative risk management practices, including methodologies such as FAIR
- Experience with security and compliance requirements in a public company environment, including SOX ITGC, or with global regulatory frameworks such as GDPR or NIS2
