Adobe Design is looking for a Staff Product Designer to join the Document Cloud team, focused on growth for PDF Spaces — Acrobat’s AI-powered way to work with documents. This is a new and ambitious product experience, and we’re looking for a designer who wants to shape how it reaches users at scale.

You’ll own the design of how users move from first encounter with PDF Spaces through activation, engagement, and sharing — work that ranges from precise, data-grounded optimizations to larger bets that rethink how Spaces surfaces in a workflow entirely.

• Discover. Dig into funnel data with your partners to find where users hesitate, miss the value of Spaces, or drop off — and turn those signals into design opportunities.

• Hypothesize. Frame clear design hypotheses and prototype quickly to test how placement, messaging, and interaction design affect whether users understand and adopt Spaces.

• Experiment. Run tests ranging from entry-point and copy changes to larger redesigns of how Spaces is introduced in a workflow. Prioritize speed of insight over perfection.

• Influence. Connect design decisions to business outcomes and present rationale clearly to partners and senior stakeholders.

• Collaborate. Work closely with research, data science, content strategy, product management, and engineering to align on user needs and intent across the Spaces funnel.

• Define. Set the standard for what growth design means on this team — contribute frameworks and approaches others can build on.

• Elevate. Operate at staff scope: shape the problem, influence roadmap, and raise the quality of the team’s thinking about how Spaces reaches and resonates with users.

Must-haves:

• 8+ years of product design experience.

• A portfolio demonstrating strong UX across multi-surface, multi-platform experiences.

• Experience working on E2E growth, activation, engagement, or conversion problems.

• Comfort reasoning from behavioral data and metrics, not just user research.

• Strong problem-framing skills — ability to define the right problem before pursuing solutions.

• A track record of running experiments: hypotheses formed, tests run, learnings applied.

• Proven cross-functional collaboration, particularly with research, data, PM, and content partners.

• Exceptional communication skills and ability to drive alignment with senior partners.

• Proficiency in Figma and ability to convey ideas through prototyping in Figma, Cursor, etc.

Nice-to-haves:

• Experience with AI/ML-powered product experiences. Familiarity with A/B testing platforms and experimentation infrastructure. Experience designing for document or productivity workflows.

Preferred Accessibility Design Skills:

• Experience designing accessible and inclusive interfaces for people with disabilities.

• Understanding of applying WCAG conformance criteria in design, specifically testing comps, wireframes, and prototypes for accessibility standards.

• Accessibility certifications CPACC, WAS, CPWA, or ADS from the IAAP preferred.

Please submit your resume and portfolio. We are particularly interested in seeing:

• Work where the starting point was a user problem or a gap in the funnel — not a feature request.

• Examples of both optimization work and larger conceptual swings, with clear explanation of how you decided which the situation called for.

• How you partnered with research, data, PM, and content to define and validate your approach.

• Evidence of staff-level scope: you shaped the problem or influenced the roadmap, not just executed.
