The Opportunity  

We are the market leader in software products and services for the creative & marketing ecosystem with Creative Cloud, Document Cloud, Express, Firefly and Experience Cloud. 

Adobe has made industry-leading progress in addressing the enterprise need for new, scalable ways to create ideas and assets with genAI-infused workflows and products. Adobe Digital Media’s recent launch of genAI-powered products for enterprises including: Firefly Services (APIs), Firefly Custom Models, Object Composites, Style Kits and unique AI features within flagship products like Adobe Photoshop, Express and Illustrator.

We're looking for a Director of Product Management to lead the platform vision and strategy for Firefly Services, an enterprise API offering that brings together generativeAI and creative “assembly” capabilities from Adobe’s rich products (Firefly, Photoshop, Express, Premiere Pro, Illustrator…). You will also lead the developer tools that are required to deliver the API services to enterprise.

A successful candidate will be technical and business oriented and able to work across the core product teams who are ultimately responsible for standing up & supporting their services and endpoints. Your deep understanding of enterprise customer API needs and empathy for enterprise developers create a delightful and cohesive customer facing developer experience.

• Keep abreast of the evolving market landscape for Generative AI and API-first businesses more broadly, eg Stripe.

• Define a clear, committed and flexible product roadmap; Drive objectives and key results to measure the success.

• Spot risks, find opportunities, understand competitive landscapes and emerging trends, articulate implications, translate insight into pragmatic, fast-cycle action

• Continuously learn and confirm/adjust decision-making using data-driven insights

• Frequently interact with customers & adjust to the customer context (e.g., alpha research, sales, customer success, prototyping) 

What you will need to succeed

• 10+ years of demonstrated product management leadership and experience in a fast-moving platform or API-first product role

• Track-record of technical leadership and experience in solving broad and sophisticated technical issues for enterprise customers in a “start-up” or “0 > 1” environment.

• A passion for working with developers & across internal engineering teams

• Creative workflows, API/developer business, GenAI, former engineer, preferred

• Extreme passion for solving customer problems – both practitioner and developer

• Excellent “connector” of people, ideas, and impact

• Outstanding analytic, problem-solving and communication skills.

• Ability to context switch across products, projects, and customers
