About The Position

Adobe is seeking a Group Manager, Growth Marketing (Product-Led Growth & Experimentation) to lead and scale a high-impact team responsible for in-product experimentation across Acrobat. This role sits within the Retention and Value Discovery Product Marketing team and is at the center of driving material ARR & engagement impact through rigorous experimentation, targeted messaging, and deep partnership with Product and Data Science. The primary focus is improving trialist retention and sustained user engagement by delivering the right message to the right user at the right moment, accelerating value discovery through programmable in-product surfaces (e.g., modals, notifications, panels, onboarding flows) across desktop, web, and mobile. The successful candidate will own the strategy, process, and execution model for how Adobe tests, learns, and scales winning messages and experiences, defining targeting approaches, journey-based sequencing, and experimentation frameworks that drive measurable behavior change. Beyond running tests, this role is responsible for expanding the surface area and velocity of experimentation, enabling the team to operate with greater reach and impact. This is a senior leadership role for someone who combines experimentation expertise, analytical depth, and organizational leadership to build a best-in-class growth engine that directly influences Acrobat’s revenue trajectory.
