Responsibilities

• Turn product strategy, market context, and feature complexity into storyboards and styleframes that carry the launch story
• Partner with copywriters, designers, motion designers, strategists, and producers to build narrative-driven assets across launches
• Help evolve Figma's visual storytelling system and apply it consistently
• Own visual direction on launch storytelling projects from early concepting to final delivery
• Push new visual formats and directions; don't just execute the existing playbook

Requirements

• A portfolio that shows strong visual point-of-view carried through to finished execution, across mediums, with examples of styleframes, storyboards, and concepting; spec work with fake brands or products is welcome
• A background distilling a business or strategy brief down to a single compelling idea, and driving that idea forward into execution
• Experience collaborating with motion designers, production teams, product marketing teams, and product design teams
• A strong sense of composition, color, and pacing, especially in motion contexts, used in service of clarity, not abstraction
• Proficiency in Figma (After Effects a plus, but not required)

Preferred

• Ability to create basic animations or motion tests independently
• Interest in researching and experimenting with new tools, workflows, and technologies
• Experience working on product launch films, explainer videos, or product walkthroughs
• Ability to translate strategic complexity and feature detail into a story worth telling
• A genuine understanding of and connection to Figma's values and mission — someone who is curious about the product and passionate about understanding it
• Comfortable setting visual direction and seeing it through, driving the work autonomously when needed
