Higher Education Community & Partnerships Manager

As we continue to invest in education, we're looking for a Higher Education Community & Partnerships Manager to own our institutional growth strategy across universities and bootcamps in the US and beyond. Figma already has millions of students using the product every day, but we're just getting started on building the institutional layer to match. This is a new role with a real opportunity to build from the ground up—developing relationships with professors, instructors, technology centers, and program leadership at the world's top design schools, HCI programs, and bootcamps, and writing the playbook for how Figma shows up at the institutional level.

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:

• Build and grow an educator community: identify, engage, and cultivate a network of educators at top university and bootcamp programs who are bringing Figma into their classrooms and giving them the resources and recognition to go deeper
• Drive curriculum integration: identify high-impact courses and partner with educators on teaching resources, assignments, and course packs that make Figma the easiest tool to teach with
• Partner with university technology centers: work with campus tech centers to make sure every incoming student knows about Figma's free education program from day one
• Cultivate institutional relationships: build close ties with program deans, department chairs, and leadership at the world&#
