Role Description

Figma is scaling rapidly, and our tax function is evolving with it. As Director, Income Tax Provision & Compliance, you’ll lead income tax reporting and compliance while building the processes and controls needed to support a growing, global public company. This role combines technical depth with operational rigor - owning ASC 740 provision, overseeing compliance, and partnering cross-functionally to drive accuracy, readiness, and scale.

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:

• Lead quarterly and annual income tax provision under ASC 740, including managing key timelines, deliverables, and reviews
• Own deferred tax calculations, valuation allowances, and uncertain tax positions (FIN 48), including effective tax rate analysis and forecasting support
• Manage U.S. federal, state, and international income tax compliance, including coordinating and reviewing filings with external advisors
• Oversee tax-related disclosures for SEC reporting (10-Q/10-K) and partner with Accounting to support audit requests and close processes
• Monitor legislative and regulatory developments impacting SaaS/digital businesses and translate implications into clear recommendations and action plans
• Support audits, notices, and controversy matters by preparing documentation, coordinating responses, and aligning on positions with internal stakeholders and advisors
• Partner cross-functionally with Accounting, FP&A/StratFin, Legal, and Operations to improve planning, forecasting, and decision-making (including M&A due diligence and integration support)
• Build scalable processes and controls (including SOX-related controls over tax) and apply automation/AI where helpful to improve accuracy and efficiency

Qualifications

• 10+ years of progressive income tax experience, including both tax provision and tax compliance responsibilities
• Deep expertise in ASC 740 and U.S. corporate income tax, including deferred taxes, valuation allowances, and FIN 48/uncertain tax positions
• Experience leading quarterly and annual provision cycles in a public company or similarly complex reporting environment (including SEC reporting exposure)
• Experience managing and developing people (this role will lead a tax manager) and coordinating work with external advisors
• Experience preparing for, implementing, or modeling OECD Pillar Two requirements (or closely related global minimum tax readiness work)

Requirements

• While not required, it’s an added plus if you also have:
• SaaS/technology and/or high-growth public company experience
• Experience with multi-state and international tax provision topics (e.g., GILTI/Subpart F/FDII) and/or global nexus considerations
• Experience supporting M&A tax workstreams (due diligence, structuring, and post-close integration)
• Advanced Excel and tax modeling skills; track record of improving processes through automation and modern tooling

Benefits

• Figma offers equity to employees, as well a competitive package of additional benefits, including:
• Health, dental & vision
• Retirement with company contribution
• Parental leave & reproductive or family planning support
• Mental health & wellness benefits
• Generous PTO
• Company recharge days
