We’re looking for a Sr. Product Design Manager to shape monetization growth experiences throughout Adobe. This role focuses on how millions of users discover and access powerful creative and generative AI capabilities across Adobe surfaces on desktop, web, and mobile products.

You’ll lead a team of growth designers that work on high-impact initiatives across in-app commerce, account and admin experiences, subscription management, and monetizing AI capabilities, helping translate product innovation into scalable business models while maintaining Adobe’s high bar for quality, craft, and accessibility — all while enabling teams to iterate, learn, and grow.
