Data Assistant information

What is a data assistant?

Data Assistants are professionals who support data management processes within an organization. Their responsibilities typically include collecting, entering, cleaning, and maintaining data to ensure its accuracy and accessibility. They often work with spreadsheets, databases, and specialized software to organize and analyze information, making it easier for teams to make data-driven decisions. Data Assistants may also help prepare reports and collaborate with other departments to support research or business operations.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a data assistant, and why are they important?

To excel as a Data Assistant, you need strong attention to detail, proficiency in data entry, and a basic understanding of data management principles, often supported by a high school diploma or equivalent. Familiarity with spreadsheet software such as Microsoft Excel, database platforms, and data visualization tools is typically required. Excellent organizational skills, reliability, and effective communication set top performers apart in this role. These abilities are vital for ensuring data accuracy, supporting efficient workflows, and facilitating informed decision-making within organizations.

What are some common challenges data assistants face when managing large datasets, and how can they overcome them?

Data Assistants often encounter challenges such as data inconsistencies, missing information, and time-consuming data entry tasks when handling large datasets. To overcome these issues, it’s important to develop strong attention to detail, utilize data validation tools, and follow established data management protocols. Collaborating closely with data analysts and IT teams can also help identify and resolve data quality problems more efficiently, ensuring that the information remains accurate and reliable for stakeholders.

Technical Program Manager - Data

Figma

San Francisco, CA • Remote

Full-time

Re-posted 21 days ago

Job description

Figma's platform helps teams bring ideas to life - and Data Science is central to how we measure, improve, and scale it. We're on a mission to make data self-serve for every Figmate: moving from a world where every data question requires filing a request to a DS or DE, to one where anyone can ask a question in plain language and get a trustworthy answer in minutes. We're hiring Figma's first dedicated Technical Program Manager for Data Science to own that mission - driving our multi-phase Self-Serve Analytics program from semantic layer expansion through the Figma Data Assistant, while building the operational foundation for a growing DS org.

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 end-to-end program delivery for Figma's Self-Serve Analytics initiative that includes semantic layer expansion, Slack bot launch, automated eval framework, and the Figma Data Assistant
  • Coordinate delivery across Data Engineering, DS ICs, Security, IT, and business stakeholders (Sales, Product, Finance, Research) to expand self-serve data coverage and drive adoption
  • Lead the governance and security work stream: work with Security and IT on LLM data access policies, PII guardrails, access controls, and LLM provider approvals
  • Drive adoption and change management - build champion networks, run training programs, and meet Figmates where they work (Slack, Notion) to shift from request-based to self-serve data culture
  • Build and maintain DS org operations: planning cycles, headcount tracking, onboarding programs, and team rhythms for a growing org
  • Own program-level success metrics: % of data questions answered via self-serve, time-to-insight, DS ad-hoc request volume reduction
  • Work closely with peer TPMs & Data Scientists (AI, Infra, Performance) to coordinate on overlapping platform programs and shared data infrastructure needs
We'd love to hear from you if you have:
  • 5+ years of technical program management experience (or equivalent) driving data infrastructure, analytics platform, or data democratization programs
  • Hands-on experience with modern data stacks: you're comfortable discussing semantic layers, data catalogs, BI tooling (Hex, Sigma), and AI-powered query interfaces (Cortex Analyst, RAG) at a program level
  • A track record of driving adoption - not just shipping internal tools, but changing behavior across technical and non-technical audiences through change management, enablement, and champion programs
  • Strong cross-functional program delivery: planning, dependency management, stakeholder alignment across deeply distributed teams
While it's not required, it's an added plus if you also have:
  • Hands-on familiarity with dbt, Snowflake Semantic Views, Acryl, Dagster, or similar data engineering tooling
  • Experience building or scaling eval frameworks for AI-generated outputs (golden SQL, accuracy dashboards, regression detection)
  • Background in data-driven product analytics or developer tools - understanding of how DS ICs work with PMs and EMs and driving alignment on requirements
  • Strong bias to action, self-motivation and curiosity, with a desire to bring people together in a fast-paced environment

At Figma, one of our values is Grow as you go. We believe in hiring smart, curious people who are excited to learn and develop their skills. If you're excited about this role but your past experience doesn't align perfectly with the points outlined in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
