About the Role
Figma is looking for a Marketing Data Scientist to join the Data Science team and drive how the company measures and optimizes the impact of its global brand investments. In this role, you will partner closely with Brand Marketing, Creative, Media, and Research teams to develop measurement frameworks, generate actionable insights, and influence strategic decisions that support long-term business growth. This is a unique opportunity to be the first dedicated Data Scientist supporting Brand Marketing at Figma, working directly with senior marketing leaders to establish new measurement capabilities, solve complex business problems, and define the future of brand analytics.
What you'll do at Figma:
- Develop and own end-to-end measurement frameworks, attribution models, and channel-level evaluation tools to assess the impact of Figma's marketing investments across the full funnel and inform budget allocation.
- Partner with stakeholders across Brand Marketing, Email, Lifecycle, Demand Gen and Research teams to define success metrics, uncover insights, and drive data-informed decision making.
- Develop and apply statistical and machine learning models to solve key marketing challenges, including audience targeting, creative effectiveness, customer engagement, and campaign performance measurement.
- Build dashboards, reporting frameworks, and analytical tools that help stakeholders understand brand performance and business impact.
- Translate complex analyses into clear recommendations for marketing leaders and executive stakeholders.
- Improve data quality, measurement infrastructure, and reporting capabilities to support a growing marketing organization — establishing standards and processes that scale with the business.
- Proactively surface new opportunities to improve marketing effectiveness — from audience targeting to spend optimization — and bring data-backed recommendations to senior marketing and business planning discussions.
We'd love to hear from you if you have:
- 5+ years of experience in Data Science or Marketing Analytics, with a track record of supporting Marketing teams and measuring the impact of large-scale brand investments.
- Strong foundation in statistics, experimentation, causal inference, and working with survey or qualitative research data.
- Advanced proficiency in SQL and experience using Python, R, or similar tools to conduct analysis and build scalable measurement solutions.
- Proven ability to influence senior non-technical leaders and cross-functional teams by translating complex analyses into clear, actionable recommendations.
While it's not required, it's an added plus if you also have:
- Experience with media mix modeling (MMM) or multi-touch attribution (MTA) methodologies.
- Hands-on experience with marketing data platforms such as Segment, Amplitude, or similar tools.
- Experience working in a B2B SaaS or PLG environment.
