Figma is seeking a Director of SEC Reporting & Technical Accounting to lead our external reporting and technical accounting function during a period of continued growth and increasing complexity. This role is critical in ensuring the integrity, accuracy, and transparency of our financial reporting while partnering cross-functionally to support strategic business initiatives.
You will own the end-to-end SEC reporting process, oversee technical accounting matters across a broad range of areas, and play a key role in maintaining a strong SOX control environment. This is a highly visible player/coach role—ideal for someone who is equally comfortable rolling up their sleeves during filing cycles and leading a high-performing team. You’ll partner closely with Legal, Tax, Corporate Accounting, Strategic Finance, and executive leadership to navigate complex and evolving accounting scenarios while enabling the business to move forward.
This role reports to the Assistant Controller.
This is a full time role that can be held from one of our US hubs or remotely in the United States.
What you’ll do at Figma:
Own and lead the preparation and filing of all SEC reports (10‑K, 10‑Q, and other filings), including financial statements, disclosures, and supporting documentation
Drive the review and continuous improvement of disclosures to ensure clarity, accuracy, and compliance with SEC requirements and evolving guidance
Lead technical accounting analysis and documentation across key areas such as equity, stock‑based compensation, debt, leases, M&A, and new accounting standards
Partner cross‑functionally with Legal, Tax, FP&A, and Corporate Accounting to align on disclosures, transactions, and emerging issues
Maintain and enhance a robust SOX control environment related to financial reporting, including design, execution, and remediation of controls
Act as a key advisor to leadership on accounting implications of strategic initiatives, transactions, and business decisions
Build, mentor, and lead a high‑performing team while remaining hands‑on in critical areas, especially during reporting cycles
Proactively identify process improvements and drive automation and scalability across reporting and technical accounting workflows
We'd love to hear from you if you have:
12+ years of progressive accounting experience, including significant experience in SEC reporting and technical accounting (public company and/or Big 4 background preferred)
Deep knowledge of US GAAP and SEC reporting requirements, with experience across multiple complex accounting areas
Strong experience with SOX compliance, including designing and maintaining effective internal controls over financial reporting
Proven ability to operate as a player/coach—balancing hands‑on execution with team leadership and development
Experience navigating complex or ambiguous accounting issues while partnering effectively with cross‑functional stakeholders
While not required, it’s an added plus if you also have:
Experience operating in a high‑growth, pre‑or post‑IPO environment
Strong systems and process improvement mindset, including experience scaling reporting processes in a fast‑paced environment
At Figma, one of our values is Grow as you go. We believe in hiring smart, curious people who are excited to learn and develop their skills. If you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with the points outlined in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways.
