Summary

Figma is growing our team of passionate people on a mission to make design accessible to all. Born on the Web, Figma helps entire product teams brainstorm, design and build better products — from start to finish. Whether it’s consolidating tools, simplifying workflows, or collaborating across teams and time zones, Figma makes the design process faster, more efficient, and fun while keeping everyone on the same page. From great products to long-lasting companies, we believe that nothing great is made alone—come make with us!

We’re looking for a Brand Designer skilled in visual storytelling to join the Figma Brand Studio. In this role, you’ll help concept and craft brand and product narratives through visually compelling, story-driven work. You’ll partner closely with our motion design team to create storyboards, styleframes, and visual directions that translate ideas into captivating brand experiences across product launches, campaigns, and key brand moments.

This role is ideal for a designer who thinks in stories, loves the intersection of design and motion, and wants to shape how Figma shows up in the world—with clarity, emotion, and craft.

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:

  • Concept and design storyboards and styleframes that bring brand and product stories to life
  • Collaborate with motion designers, editors, and producers to develop narrative-driven assets for product launches, campaigns, and events
  • Help evolve and maintain a visual storytelling system that reflects the voice, tone, and personality of the Figma brand
  • Translate abstract or technical concepts into emotionally resonant, visually engaging creative
  • Lead or support brand motion projects from early concepting through final delivery
  • Explore new visual directions and creative formats, pushing the boundaries of how we tell stories

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

  • A portfolio that showcases strong visual storytelling across mediums, with examples of styleframes, storyboards, and campaign concepting
  • Experience collaborating with motion designers and production teams
  • A strong sense of composition, color, and pacing, especially in motion contexts
  • Ability to think conceptually and translate ideas into strong, narrative visuals
  • Comfortable leading creative projects or working autonomously when needed
  • Proficiency in Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, and storyboarding tools (After Effects a plus, but not required)

While not required, it’s an added plus if you also have:

  • Ability to create basic animations or motion tests independently
  • Interest in researching and experimenting with new animation tools, workflows, and technologies
  • Experience designing for interactive narrative experiences (e.g., websites, microsites, immersive launches)
  • Experience working on brand films, explainer videos, or product walkthroughs

At Figma, one of our values is Grow as you go. We believe in hiring smart, curious people who are excited to learn and develop their skills. If you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with the points outlined in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
