Director of Product Management - Adobe Builders eXperience (ABX)

Adobe•San Jose, CA

22d

About The Position

The Opportunity In the last 6 months, agentic development has taken off – changing how software is built. We have a clear vision on how to embrace it, and an engineering org already in motion. We need a product leader to take the spark and own the connection with the builders we serve. They will turn it into strategy and keep evolving that strategy as frameworks, tools, and processes change. Join us in the ABX org, where agentic development is the platform – a managed harness that 15,000 builders at Adobe will use to ship software with AI. Every improvement you will make compounds across engineering, product, and design, on most codebases at Adobe! This is a build role. You'll develop the strategy, build the organizational framework from the ground up, and set the bar for what agentic development looks like at Adobe.

Requirements

Senior PM leadership with a track record of building strategy and teams from scratch.
Technical credibility with builders, possessing an engineer's instinct for what engineers want.
Deep technical fluency in agentic systems: model evaluation and selection, orchestration frameworks, evaluations, inference cost, MCP and the surrounding dev-tooling stack.
Comfortable debating latency-vs-accuracy tradeoffs with principal engineers.
Strategic clarity under ambiguity; ability to synthesize signal from noise, make high-conviction bets on incomplete information, and adjust course as needed.
Comfort operating lean and unconventionally with a small team, novel AI pods structure, strong bias to action, and an aversion to process theater and fluff.
A driver of reinvention, energized by collapsing role boundaries and remaking the SDLC to be AI-first.
Experience leading product for a developer or AI platform inside a large engineering org (hundreds to thousands of engineers).
Experience driving adoption of AI-augmented development tooling at scale.
Ability to collaborate across Adobe and go where the outcome takes you.
Ability to converse across the whole agentic stack: agentic coding, CI/CD, build systems, observability, evaluations, orchestration.
A technical degree (CS, Math, Engineering, or related) or equivalent experience.

Responsibilities

Develop the strategy, build the organizational framework from the ground up, and set the bar for what agentic development looks like at Adobe.
Transform an articulated-but-evolving vision into written strategy, roadmap, and objective measures of success, expecting it to change continuously as the models, harnesses, and internal processes evolve.
Oversee the platform spanning all three modes of agentic development: Agentic Delegation, Agentic Transformation, and Agentic Orchestration.
Define objectives and key results (OKRs) focusing on platform adoption, per-engineer output, per-employee productivity, and business impact.
Deepen trust with the Adobe Builders community and build engagement mechanisms for a real partnership, acting as chief marketer and evangelist for the platform.
Own the decision process for which external models and tools to deploy, staying current with the latest across labs, hyperscalers, and open-weights.
Focus on relentless execution, removing bottlenecks, streamlining team communication, and intelligently automating the SDLC.
Design the operating model for the team in partnership with engineering, ensuring it is agentic itself.
