Cover letter sampleDear Hiring Team,

I am excited to apply for the Executive Assistant, Design role at Figma. With extensive experience supporting senior leaders in fast-paced technology environments, I bring proactive calendar and travel management, sound judgment, and a disciplined approach to confidential work.

I excel at creating operating rhythms, coordinating complex cross-functional initiatives, and anticipating risks before they affect leadership priorities. My communication style is clear, thoughtful, and appropriately direct, enabling me to represent leaders effectively while building trusted relationships across teams.

Figma's focus on collaborative design, operational excellence, and creative use of AI strongly resonates with me. I would welcome the opportunity to help the Design organization operate efficiently and scale successfully.

Copy   Sample interview questionsHow would you manage competing requests for a VP's time when several initiatives are urgent?I begin by confirming the decision criteria, such as business impact, urgency, required attendees, and immovable deadlines. I present the executive with concise options and tradeoffs, recommend a path, and communicate the final decision promptly while preserving relationships with affected stakeholders.

Describe how you would organize a large leadership meeting with many cross-functional dependencies.

I would establish a repeatable operating cadence with clear owners, decision points, content deadlines, and a single source of truth. Before the meeting, I would validate readiness and surface risks; afterward, I would document decisions, assign action items, and follow up until commitments are closed.

How do you handle highly confidential information while supporting senior executives?

I treat confidential information on a need-to-know basis, use approved tools and access controls, and verify recipients before sharing sensitive materials. I also apply judgment in verbal discussions and escalate ambiguous situations to the appropriate leader or policy owner.

Give an example of how you would improve an inefficient executive-support workflow.

I map recurring tasks and friction points first, then standardize intake, automate reminders or status tracking where appropriate, and document the new workflow. I measure success through reduced manual coordination, clearer ownership, and faster completion of critical deliverables.

How do you drive progress on a complex project when you do not directly manage the contributors?

I would clarify the desired outcome, identify stakeholders and dependencies, and create an action plan with milestones and accountable owners. I would maintain a concise status view, resolve blockers directly when possible, and escalate only with context and a recommended decision.

Figma is growing our team of passionate creatives and builders on a mission to make design accessible to all. Figma’s platform helps teams bring ideas to life—whether you’re brainstorming, creating a prototype, translating designs into code, or iterating with AI.

As an Executive Assistant in Design, you’ll be responsible for keeping VPs and their pillars organized as we scale for growth. In this role, you’ll work directly with your leaders to manage day-to-day administrative and operational needs, partner closely with their leadership teams, and collaborate cross-functionally within the broader Tech Org. As a strategic partner with an eye for identifying gaps, you will drive processes, rhythms, and operate as a trusted partner across various stakeholders to drive outcomes. Our Design team is growing quickly, which provides an opportunity to have a tremendous impact on the success of our product and Figma as a whole.

This is a full-time role that can be held from one of our US hubs (SF or NYC) or remotely in the United States. Note: the role requires working PT hours.

What you’ll do at Figma:

* Proactively manage VP calendars, meetings, business travel arrangements, and expenses
* Act as a delegate for the VP, signing off for expenses, PO approval, and various other tooling (as needed) with careful attention to internal policy
* Partner with operations leadership to craft agendas and logistics for seamless large-scale meetings–tracking content readiness, taking notes, and pushing forward on relevant action items
* Identify opportunities for workflow optimization around business deliverables, VP efficiency, and function or company rhythms
* Be a strategic thought partner to the CDO’s EA, VPs and their leadership teams, with a focus on design operations, process, and long-term planning
* Drive outcomes for complex problems across internal teams to ensure cross-functional alignment on projects, company milestones, and internal events
* Build culture and connection across company hubs and remote Figmates, bringing the team together and embodying Figma’s ‘Play’ value

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

* 5+ years of executive support within a fast-paced tech environment, fully grasping the ability to anticipate tradeoffs and act independently to make decisions
* An affinity for AI and the ability to build creative workflows to improve operational efficiency
* Strong written and verbal communication skills, with sharp judgment and experience as a trusted thought partner to leaders—surfacing risks, influencing priorities, shaping how their time is spent, and representing leaders across internal and external stakeholders in person, virtually, and via email, while being unafraid to provide pushback and upward feedback
* A thoughtful and inclusive lens with a track record of trustworthiness, reliability, and discretion with confidential information
* Advanced-level skills in Google Suite products (Gmail, GCal, Google Drive – Docs, Sheets)

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

* An affinity for Figma and an interest in becoming an expert in our product
* Previous experience supporting technical or AI-focused teams

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.
