Experience Designer

The opportunity

Adobe Design is looking for an experienced Designer to join our Document Cloud team. You’ll be working on products such as Adobe Acrobat, Sign, and Scan (just to name a few) that are ubiquitous in the lives and work of more than 600 million monthly active users and span across a multitude of surfaces and platforms. As the fastest-growing cloud in all of Adobe, you'll be given the opportunity to design the future of documents for the everyday knowledge worker, solopreneur, and individual around the world.

The Document Cloud design team also has a strong legacy of innovation and continues to be recognized for groundbreaking work. We were honored in TIME’s Best Inventions in 2023 for our advancements in Liquid Mode, and again in 2024 for Acrobat’s AI Assistant. If you're passionate about designing intuitive experiences at this magnitude, we'd love to hear from you!

What you’ll do

• Work closely with Document Cloud product teams, designers, and users to dive deeply into user journeys to identify problems, re-frame them into opportunities, and co-create requirements
• Solve complex problems with a strategic and systems thinking mindset, shaping modern interfaces in the context of the Acrobat ecosystem.
• Map customer journeys, visualize concepts through storyboards, and prioritize scalable information architecture by laying out detailed workflows around tech constraints.
• Craft pixel-perfect mockups and prototypes that convey delightful and intuitive interactions, following our Spectrum design system.
• Deliver detailed design specs and assets to engineering teams, verify implementation quality, and track success metrics
• Engage directly with users and customers to gain a deeper understanding of their goals, validate design solutions, conduct quick rounds of usability testing, and incorporate results into your design process
• Articulate design decisions by presenting work to design teams and partners. Seek feedback through the entire design process for agile iterations. You will work with researchers to prepare user testing materials.
• Advocate for user-focused design and represent the voice of Adobe users throughout the design process.

What you need to succeed

• A minimum of 3 years of experience designing products and UX design.
• Ability to grasp the essence of complex design and user problems and translate them to practical design solutions.
• Ability to proficiently facilitate brainstorming sessions, cultivate the creative thinking process, build compelling presentation decks or videos, and present concept pitches.
• Address design feedback from colleagues in the design team in a rapid, iterative design process
• Strong communication skills, whether when writing a quick email to a coworker or discussing design work with a dozen people.
• An eagerness to deeply engage with and understand quantitative and qualitative data at scale.
• Ability to be flexible, embrace ambiguity, take initiative, and learn new skills regularly.
• BA/BFA degree in HCI or design-related field, with an emphasis on user experience, interaction design, or visual design.
