About Figure

Figure is maximizing the value of homeownership in ways that benefit consumers and the industry alike. We’re helping homeowners tap their liquidity easily, efficiently and reasonably for purpose-driven, significant expenditures – everything from dream home renovations and debt consolidation to small business formation.

In seven years, we’ve become the country’s #1 non-bank HELOC lender. As a financial technology firm operating at the intersection of regulation and transformation, we’re a “unicorn” – a group of fewer than 1000 companies globally that is valued at $1B or more and has been in operation for less than ten years. 

Our mission requires us to have a creative, team-oriented, and supportive environment where everyone can do their absolute best. We are motivated, innovative, collaborative, and curious. We value individuals who bring a problem-solving mindset to every task. Every day at Figure is a journey in continuous learning combined with a focus on getting work done that makes a difference.

  • Develop integrated campaign strategies while partnering cross-functionally to maximize results and impact across owned, earned, shared and paid media and other platforms.
  • Analyze metrics to derive customer insights, be accountable to internal stakeholders and inform future strategies.
  • Serve as a player/coach who enjoys writing and producing in different formats (from long-form to copywriting) and also managing/editing others’ work. 
  • Serve as a project manager who leverages their excellent organizational, communication, and project management skills to keep not just the content team – but all relevant stakeholders (eg, marketing, legal) – running on time.

  • Develop a keen understanding of our diverse set of stakeholders – loan officers, homeowners, contractors, investors, decisionmakers at prospective partners and more. Embrace communicating with them in ways that are relevant to them, while being engaging and on-brand.
  • Manage the content review process with Legal and Compliance, ensuring that we’re always operating within the boundaries of our highly regulated industry.
  • Lead the creation of data-driven thought leadership, longer-form papers and ghostwrite for executives. Connect the dots by commissioning or sourcing research, data and insights from across the organization or from external sources. 
  • Build, maintain and socialize a corporate narrative, message architecture and framework based on audiences and business goals. 
  • Develop compelling messaging that avoids jargon, helps our audiences understand how our use of technologies (blockchain, AI, crypto and more) is relevant for them, and showcases our areas of differentiation amidst a highly competitive landscape

  • Ease in working with Data Science and Analytics colleagues and economists on data-driven storytelling.

  • Strong executive presence, with the ability to confidently engage and write for senior leaders.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
