What you’ll do

Vision & Strategy: Define and drive the design vision for Adobe GenStudio, centered on AI‑first, agentic workflows. Champion the evolution from traditional creative editing to an intelligence‑layer design—where AI, data, and human creativity intersect.

Innovation & Experimentation: Champion a tinkerer’s mindset—experimenting with prototypes, emerging UI patterns (chat + canvas + editor), and new generative AI capabilities. Create spaces for rapid experimentation (labs‑style pilots, internal playtesting, customer co‑design).
Customer‑Driven Change Management: Translate evolving customer insights and enterprise feedback into actionable design strategies with a focus on short and long‑term impact. Advocate for marketer needs and ensure design decisions are grounded in research and real‑world usage.
Collaboration & Influence: Be a trusted partner across Adobe—working with Firefly, Experience Cloud, and enterprise platform teams. Influence senior stakeholders with compelling narratives, prototypes, and strategy docs.
