The Challenge
Figma is the canvas for modern design collaboration. You'll architect the product-led growth engine that turns millions of free users into paying teams. This is the rare chance to own end-to-end growth at a category-defining company with viral coefficients already built in.
Your Mission
Audit current PLG funnel (signup → activation → conversion) and identify top 3 friction points blocking team adoption
Define and implement baseline growth metrics dashboard tracking viral loops, invite acceptance rates, and team conversion velocity
Ship 2-3 targeted activation experiments (onboarding flows, team collaboration features, or pricing tier positioning) with measurable uplift targets
Establish weekly cadence with product and data teams to diagnose cohort-level conversion bottlenecks
Increase free-to-paid team conversion rate by 15-25% through optimized monetization messaging and feature gating
Grow organic invite acceptance rate and cross-team network effects, tracking viral coefficient lift month-over-month
Launch and optimize 3 major feature releases designed for team expansion (collaborative workflows, enterprise features, or integration incentives)
Build predictive model identifying high-intent free users and lowest-cost activation paths by user segment and use case
KPIs You'll Own
Free-to-Paid Team Conversion Rate
% of teams created on free tier that upgrade to paid plan within 90 days
Viral Coefficient / Invite Acceptance Rate
Average number of new users acquired per existing user through in-product invites
Team Expansion Rate
% of paying teams adding net-new seats month-over-month
Activation Rate (Day 7)
% of new signups that complete core collaboration actions (file creation, sharing, real-time editing) within 7 days
CAC Payback Period
Months to recover customer acquisition cost through product-driven revenue

Is This Role For You?
- You've shipped PLG motions at scale and can read cohort funnels in your sleep (Mixpanel, SQL, experimentation framework fluency required)
- You live and breathe activation and viral loops—you know the difference between good onboarding and onboarding that converts
- You're comfortable in ambiguity: this role requires balancing top-down growth targets with bottom-up product insight and rapid iteration
- You thrive in fast-moving teams; you'll work across product, data, design, and marketing daily without waiting for consensus
- You're looking for a pure marketing or demand-gen role—this is product and analytics-heavy, not campaign-heavy
- You expect greenfield or early-stage growth; Figma's growth engine is already mature; you'll be optimizing and scaling, not inventing from scratch
- You can't work in a fully remote environment or need deep daily synchronous collaboration—async rigor is expected
