  • Work across engineering, GTM, design, and developer experience teams to deliver APIs and tooling that are reliable and easy to adopt
  • Align with PMs leading assistant and chat integrations on shared capabilities and platform direction
  • Use customer and adoption insights to guide roadmap priorities and investment decisions
  • Influence the future of Adobe's developer ecosystem across automation and AI experiences


WHAT YOU'LL NEED TO SUCCEED
  • 8+ years of product management experience building APIs, developer tools, platforms, or enterprise SaaS products
  • Experience defining monetization, packaging, entitlement, or usage models for infrastructure or developer-facing products
  • Deep familiarity with APIs, authentication, SDKs, rate limiting, automation infrastructure, and extensibility models
  • You translate complex customer requirements into scalable developer-facing products and services
  • Cross-functional leadership across engineering, business, design, and go-to-market organizations
  • Understanding of enterprise requirements around reliability, scalability, governance, and operational controls
  • Clear communication across technical and non-technical audiences on platform strategy and monetization decisions
  • Deep curiosity about AI platforms, developer ecosystems, and emerging integration patterns, with a point of view on how products and product organizations should evolve alongside them
