- Measure and grow adoption of APIs and agentic integrations, using clear, outcome-driven metrics
- Stay current on GenAI, assistant platforms, and extensibility ecosystems, and act as a thought leader within Adobe to help shape the future of our developer platform strategy
What you’ll need to succeed
- 8+ years of product management experience, including 4+ years working on APIs, platforms, or extensibility
- Strong technical intuition and proven ability to collaborate with engineering on platform architecture and technical product decisions
- Experience translating complex customer needs into scalable developer-facing solutions
