• Build relationships with Boards of Education, university leadership, and bootcamp operators to drive adoption of Figma in classrooms around the world. 
• Partner with Legal, Sales, and Marketing to ensure regional compliance, messaging alignment, and local go-to-market execution.
• Design and launch community programs to build awareness and engagement in each region.
• Measure success through data-driven insights, tracking adoption, engagement, and impact across global education markets.
• Represent Figma in international education conferences, partnerships, and speaking engagements to expand brand presence.

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

• 5+ years of experience in international expansion, go-to-market strategy, education partnerships, or edtech program management. 
• A track record of launching and scaling programs and/or products in new markets from 0 to 1.

• Excellent relationship-building and stakeholder management skills, with experience engaging government, school leaders, and industry partners.
• A data-driven mindset, with the ability to track, analyze, and optimize international adoption and engagement metrics.
• A scrappy, entrepreneurial approach, comfortable operating in an ambiguous and resource-constrained environment.

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

• Experience working at a high-growth tech company or startup.
• Background in community building and education marketing.
• Familiarity with legal and compliance considerations in international education markets.
• Proficiency in Portuguese, Hindi, or other relevant languages.
