About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior Manager, Communications to join our growing Communications & Content team.

  • Work with agency partners, coordinate announcements, and cultivate relationships with top-tier business, fintech, personal finance and trade reporters.
  • Eagerly read and identify emerging media targets in traditional and new media.
  • Generate compelling new story ideas relevant to media and our other audiences and collaborate cross-functionally to activate across channels, like our blog and social.

  • Coordinate media interview logistics working with leadership and administrative colleagues, and staff interviews virtually and in-person as needed.
  • Shepherd press releases and other content through legal and compliance review.
  • Manage reactive communications and monitor news cycles for timely opportunities or risks.
  • Help maintain the overall news calendar, coordinate announcement timing, and other cross-functional comms/PR initiatives.
  • Participate in the strategy and execution for Figure’s organic presence on LinkedIn and Meta channels, and coordinate with team members who have responsibility for other social media channels.
  • Create and publish content that brings Figure to life with its target audiences.
  • Partner with content, marketing, and design to develop social campaigns that align with broader objectives.
  • Work cross-functionally to develop appropriate influencer engagements.
  • With agency support, track engagement and analytics to inform content performance and audience growth.
  • Support internal communications that keep employees informed, inspired, and aligned – things like the monthly All Hands meeting and regular updates on Slack about news announcements and milestones.
  • Drive outreach for speaking opportunities, event panels, and award submissions
  • Partner closely with Marketing, IR, Product, Legal and Compliance, and Sales teams to ensure message alignment.
  • Support executive thought leadership programs (speaking engagements, op-eds, awards).
  • Maintain the communications calendar to ensure integrated storytelling across external and internal channels.

What We Look For

  • 5-7 years of experience in communications, public relations, or integrated marketing — ideally a mix of agency and in-house roles.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

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. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

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.
