We’re hiring an Executive Sourcer to help build the next generation of senior leadership at Figma. This is a highly strategic, research-intensive role focused on identifying, mapping, and engaging exceptional executive talent.
You’ll work closely with the Executive Recruiting team and senior leaders across the business to deeply understand the market, uncover talent, and build thoughtful, long-term relationships and pipelines. This role is less about volume and more about insight, precision, and influence.
This is a full time role that can be held from one of our US hubs or remotely in the United States.

- Partner with the executive recruiting team and hiring leaders to identify high caliber profiles for senior leadership roles across the entire Figma business (Director, VP, C-suite)
- Lead in-depth talent mapping and market research across industries, competitors, and adjacent spaces
- Translate research into actionable sourcing strategies and high-quality candidate pipelines
- Act as a brand steward, ensuring every touchpoint to both candidates and the business reflects Figma’s values, quality, and attention to craft
- Identify and engage passive executive talent with highly personalized, insight-driven outreach
- Track and synthesize talent data to inform hiring decisions and calibrate search strategies
- Continuously refine search approaches based on market signals and stakeholder feedback
We'd love to hear from you if you have:
- 8+ years of sourcing experience, with a strong focus on executive hiring
- Deep experience in talent mapping, market research, and competitive intelligence
- Ability to build structured insights from ambiguous or evolving information
- Exceptional written communication skills, especially in crafting tailored outreach to senior candidates
- Experience with advising and influencing senior stakeholders
While not required, it’s an added plus if you also have:

- Experience supporting global searches or building international talent maps
- Demonstrated curiosity and interest in applying AI or new technologies to recruiting and sourcing practices
