Full Job Description
Join Adobe Express's dynamic team as a Principal Product Manager and help develop the future of AI-native experiences! This role offers an outstanding opportunity to work on world-class creative tools at scale, driving innovation in AI/ML-powered products. Your expertise will be instrumental in composing and advancing AI capabilities, ensuring flawless user experiences.

What you'll Do
  • Lead agentic strategy across multiple products and platforms.
  • Define and prioritize features across fast paced AI landscapes
  • Write crisp PRDs, evals and build prototypes
  • Partner with ML engineers, build, and platform teams to balance technical feasibility with user delight
  • Drive alignment across engineering, build, research, and go-to-market collaborators
  • Represent the product externally with partners or at industry events

What you need to succeed
  • 10+ years in product management, with a meaningful stretch at the senior/principal IC level owning strategy end to end (the questions assume someone who has personally carried outcomes, not participated in them).
  • Demonstrated track record owning a high-stakes growth initiative with a clear before/after metric you personally moved.
  • Proven influence without authority across a matrixed org - driving prioritization from engineering, platform, and partner teams that don't report to you.
  • Cross-functional GTM partnership - having built an operating rhythm or program with Sales, PMM, and Customer Success (not just attended syncs).
  • Hands-on technical fluency: comfortable working directly with engineers on architecture-level decisions and personally building prototypes/scripts/agents (the "vibe coding" and self-built-tooling questions are non-negotiable signals).
  • Preferred qualifications: Experience with mobile-first or cross-platform product teams, familiarity with Adobe's creative ecosystem, and a background in creative tools, building, or media.
