Group Manager, AI Acceleration in Marketing
About The Position
Adobe's Growth Marketing & Insights (GMI) organization is rebuilding how marketing teams operate by replacing existing workflows with AI. The AI Strategy & Innovation (AISI) team is central to this effort. This Group Manager role will lead a team of 6-8 Forward-Deployed AI Engineers embedded within GMI's paid media, lifecycle marketing, data science, and marketing analytics functions. The primary goal is to ensure the team's effectiveness by identifying high-priority work, removing obstacles, improving the quality of their output, fostering cross-functional collaboration, and ensuring successful patterns are shared across teams. This role is not about day-to-day agent building, but about empowering the team to move quickly and build sustainable solutions. The Group Manager will also contribute to the growth of AISI by partnering on hiring, developing team capabilities, and establishing best practices for forward-deployed AI work at Adobe.
Requirements
- Minimum 3+ years managing people in AI, data science, machine learning, or a closely related technical field.
- Strong working knowledge of modern AI concepts: agentic systems, knowledge graphs, RAG, context window management, tool use, etc., sufficient to engage substantively with your team's work.
- Experience with a marketing or marketing technology organization, with a genuine understanding of how various marketing functions operate.
- Demonstrated ability to develop people, with evidence that engineers or analysts you've managed grew in capability and impact.
- Strong presentation and communication skills, including experience translating technical AI concepts for VP-level or executive audiences.
- Proven ability to coordinate across multiple functions and collaborators simultaneously.
- Active user of AI tools and platforms in your own work.
Nice To Haves
- Experience in a forward-deployed, embedded, or solutions engineering model where you had to earn trust quickly and deliver value in someone else's environment.
- Background in building or scaling internal AI programs, centers of excellence, or enablement functions.
- Familiarity with martech ecosystems: CDPs, marketing automation, analytics platforms, campaign management tools.
- Experience partnering on recruiting and team-building, not just inheriting a team.
Responsibilities
- Lead a team of 6-8 Forward-Deployed AI Engineers embedded across GMI functions.
- Identify the highest priority AI work for marketing teams.

- Raise the quality of AI solutions built by the team.
- Connect the dots across different marketing functions.
- Ensure successful AI patterns are spread to other teams.
