The Opportunity

We are seeking a Principal Product Manager to lead the vision, strategy, and execution of Firefly Creative Production Workflows. This orchestration layer connects Firefly’s AI capabilities with Adobe’s creative products, services, and customer applications.

This is a highly strategic and technical role—ideal for a hands-on product leader who can connect AI services and creative APIs with user-centric workflow composition.
 

What You’ll DoWorkflow Platform Strategy
  • Define the vision and strategy for Firefly Services Workflows—how generative AI capabilities are composed into automated, reusable, and extensible creative processes.

  • Collaborate with Firefly Research and platform teams to productize various workflow actions into enterprise-ready, scalable services.
  • Work with other Adobe products to embed these work capabilities in their user flows
  • Own the end-to-end roadmap for the creative production flow at Firefly.

  • Define governance, versioning, and monitoring standards to ensure workflows are secure, performant, and compliant across domains.
     
Cross-Functional Leadership
  • Serve as the connective tissue across Firefly, Creative Cloud, and Experience Cloud—aligning workflow strategies and ensuring interoperability across the ecosystem.
  • Influence long-term architectural decisions for Firefly Services and shared infrastructure.
  • Mentor PMs, or individuals with comparable experience, and guide cross-functional teams through ambiguity, ensuring strategic clarity and execution excellence.
     
You’re a Great Fit If You
  • Have 8+ years of product management experience in AI/ML, workflow platforms, or developer ecosystems, with at least 3 years in a principal or lead role.
  • Have led platform or services strategy for large-scale systems with extensibility or workflow automation.
  • Are technically fluent—comfortable discussing APIs, data pipelines, orchestration frameworks, and AI model integration with engineering teams.
  • Have experience building products that bridge AI services with creative or enterprise applications.
  • Are deeply customer- and developer-centric, balancing visionary thinking with practical delivery.
  • Thrive in complex, fast-paced environments where cross-org influence, iteration, and innovation are essential.
