We’re seeking an experienced Director, Technical Revenue to join our Revenue Accounting team.

You’ll play a meaningful role in shaping our revenue recognition policies and scaling our quote-to-cash systems as the business continues to grow.
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 evolve ASC 606 revenue policies for SaaS and consumption-based models, including credits, usage-based pricing, variable consideration, and contract modifications
- Lead technical accounting research and author clear, decision-ready memos, policies, and playbooks (e.g., SSP frameworks, non-standard deal guidance)
- Review complex enterprise and strategic contracts, advising Sales, Deal Desk, and Legal on structure, risk, and revenue implications
- Define revenue recognition approaches for new products and offerings, including performance obligations, SSP, principal vs. agent considerations, and contract changes
- Translate complex accounting guidance into practical recommendations and scalable processes for cross-functional partners
- Partner with auditors to support revenue positions, including leading position papers, walkthroughs, and evidence strategies, while ensuring SOX-compliant controls
- Build and develop a high-performing technical revenue team, coaching managers, and raising the bar on judgment, communication, and technical rigor
We'd love to hear from you if you have:
- CPA certification with 12+ years of progressive accounting background, including deep expertise in technical revenue accounting under ASC 606
- Strong command of US GAAP and SaaS revenue models, including multi-element arrangements, SSP, variable consideration, contract modifications, and usage-based pricing
- Proven ability to evaluate complex contracts and determine appropriate revenue treatment across a range of scenarios
- Track record of influencing and defending accounting positions with external auditors and senior stakeholders
- Skilled at translating complex accounting concepts into clear, actionable guidance for non-accounting audiences
While not required, it’s an added plus if you also have:
- Background in public accounting (e.g., Big 4) combined with in-house experience at a high-growth SaaS or technology company
- Familiarity with consumption-based or usage-based revenue models at scale
- Comfort operating in fast-paced environments with evolving products and business models
- Experience leading managers and developing technical accounting talent
