- Develop differentiated technical messaging and positioning to show Figma’s strengths across product, design, and engineering workflows, aligned to Figma’s sales narrative
- Collect and synthesize multi-source intelligence (customer and sales feedback, industry research, analyst insights, sales data, etc.) to identify actionable competitive trends and dynamics
- Create high-impact technical and competitive assets, including architectures, battlecards, objection-handling frameworks, customer-facing materials, and segment-specific guides
- Establish scalable intake channels for competitive and buyer feedback, along with a framework for distributing insights across product and GTM stakeholders to influence company strategies
- Partner with the product team to understand and influence Figma’s product roadmap, funneling buyer feedback to highlight emerging customer needs and identify opportunities for new features that would increase differentiation and product-market fit

- 4+ years of experience in competitive intelligence, product marketing, sales, or a related field

- Excellent communication, presentation, and storytelling skills, with the ability to tailor the message and format to different audiences and levels of the organization
