Pay:
$148,100-$282,100/yr
Job type:
Full Time

Role Summary
Adobe is building Firefly Foundry Studio—a managed enterprise platform that unifies Adobe’s professional creative tools and customized Firefly Foundry models to deliver advanced Generative AI workflows for Media & Entertainment production.

As a Principal Product Manager, you will work at the intersection of frontier generative models, VFX/animation pipelines, and enterprise software to define and ship the capabilities that let studios, post houses, and streaming platforms harness GenAI at production scale.

This is a high-visibility, high-autonomy role!

What You’ll Do

Product Strategy & Vision: Own the end-to-end product roadmap aligning Firefly Foundry model capabilities and Studio creative interfaces into a coherent product strategy.

Define and prioritize capabilities, balancing near‑term Enterprise needs with long‑term platform vision.

Execution & Delivery: Drive quarterly planning and execution with Engineering, Applied Science, and Product Design; manage trade‑offs between model capability, creative control, and enterprise governance.

Define success metrics and evaluations (adoption, generation quality, workflow efficiency, customer expansion).

Cross‑Functional Leadership: Partner with Adobe’s Creative Technologist field team to compose and deploy tailored workflows for enterprise M&E customers.

Represent the Foundry Studio team at executive reviews, industry events, and partner forums.

What You’ll Bring
Required:

10+ years of product management experience, with at least 5 years shipping software products serving creative professionals or media production workflows.

2+ years of hands‑on experience with Generative AI products or platforms—ranging from model fine‑tuning, inference pipelines, or GenAI‑powered creative tools.

Deep domain knowledge of VFX, animation, or post‑production pipelines including compositing, look development, pre‑visualization, and editorial workflows.

Strong technical competence across GenAI concepts: diffusion models, LoRA/fine‑tuning, conditioning controls, prompt engineering, model evaluation, and cost/quality trade‑offs.

Exceptional written and verbal communication; ability to craft compelling product narratives, PRDs, and executive‑level strategy documents.

Track record of leading complex, multi‑team initiatives in a matrixed organization without direct authority.

Nice to Have:

Experience with studio pipeline platforms (ShotGrid/Flow, AYON, ftrack).

Familiarity with content authenticity standards (C2PA/CAI) and studio security/compliance requirements (TPN, MPAA).

MBA or advanced technical degree.
