Figma is looking for a Director, Commercial Sales to join our dynamic team of creatives, engineers, marketers, and brilliant business folks. As a Director, Commercial Sales, you will play a second line leadership role leading a team of Account Executives responsible for the engagement, expansion and retention of our rapidly growing customer base. You aren’t the typical sales leader, and we aren’t the typical design tool company. At Figma, we think creatively, lift constraints that block our imagination everyday, and we expect you to do the same. With this role you’ll get in at the ground floor in a fast growing sales org. You’ll consult with our existing customer base and potential customers in driving meaningful relationships that contribute to the customer experience and revenue to our bottom line. You will report to the VP of Southern Europe Sales.

This is a full time role that can be held from our Paris hub.

What you’ll do at Figma:

Build, develop, and inspire an organisation of Account Executives and leaders by creating scalable, data-driven processes that drive team and company goals
Interview, hire and train new team members as we scale the business and company
Build a strong pipeline of exceptional talent from the Commercial team for Enterprise Sales and Sales Leadership roles
Manage and analyse the performance of the Commercial segment, including accurate forecasting, pipeline generation, and activity metrics
Coach Sales Leaders and Account Executives through Pipeline and Forecast reviews, Deal Reviews, Call Listening and other training programs
Develop, test, implement and refine growth and acquisition strategies through data, segment-specific value drivers, and compelling stories needed to support a high-growth team
Create strong internal partnerships and work closely with Marketing, Sales, and Operations Leadership teams to outline and implement our top-of-the-funnel strategy through inbound and outbound tactics, revenue and quota goals, and territory models
Be accountable for the engagement and addition of net new customers as an Executive deal sponsor and participant

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

8+ years of experience in SaaS Sales with 4+ years leadership experience, with ideally more than 1 year as a second-line leader
Prior experience leading Managers and Account Executives (distributed team management preferred). Strong experience leading, building, and growing successful, collaborative sales teams
Experience working in a PLG organization and deep understanding of Commercial SaaS sales processes
Proven track record of success exceeding net new revenue targets
Understanding of our technical and competitive landscape and the ability to thrive in a continual growth environment

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

Additional years of management experience within a SaaS company
Experience using or working with Figma, or other UX/UI experience
Experience with Command of the Message or MEDDIC sales methodology
