Principal Product Manager - Agentic Product

Adobe•San Jose, CA

6d•$148,100 - $282,100

About The Position

AI is changing how creative and business work gets done — from tools that assist one step at a time to systems that can plan, execute, and deliver outcomes with increasing independence. This role will help lead product strategy for a new category of AI agent experiences at Adobe, defining how people discover, delegate to, and build trust in AI agents that can operate with real autonomy. This is a 0-to-1 product opportunity, moving beyond AI as a step-by-step assistant to AI that can be trusted to carry out meaningful work with less hands-on oversight. The role involves defining the user experience for finding the right AI agent, managing oversight levels, earning trust, and delivering outcomes across Adobe's products and potentially other platforms. This position sits at the intersection of product strategy, emerging AI/agent technology, and monetization innovation, requiring strong instincts for translating ambiguous technology into product decisions and building trust mechanisms for delegation. The role involves fast-moving timelines, cross-functional complexity, and high executive visibility, making it a high-impact product role at Adobe.

Requirements

10+ years of product experience, ideally within creative software, AI-driven products, marketplaces, or productivity ecosystems.
Hands-on experience shipping products involving autonomous or semi-autonomous AI systems, including trust, oversight, or orchestration challenges.
Strong fluency in current AI/agent technology and standards, and sharp commercial instinct for translating emerging technology into product strategy.
Experience with experimentation methodology, growth models, and working with data.
Solid understanding of creative workflows and empathy for the creative community.
Strong strategic thinking, with the ability to connect high-level vision to pragmatic execution.
Skilled cross-functional collaborator, able to work effectively with product, engineering, research, and design.
Comfort navigating ambiguity in a rapidly evolving space.
Passion for Adobe's mission and a belief that AI should empower, not replace, human creativity, including a thoughtful point of view on how much autonomy is appropriate to grant AI systems, and when.

Responsibilities

Drive the roadmap for a new AI agent product experience, from early concept through launch, covering how people discover, evaluate, and start working with AI agents suited to different tasks and skill levels.
Help define the oversight and trust model for autonomous AI features, from close human supervision to much greater independence, including the guardrails, transparency, and intervention points that make greater autonomy safe and trustworthy to ship.
Prioritize and sequence a set of AI capabilities across a range of complexity and value, from simple production tasks to higher-value business outcomes.
Contribute to the business mechanics (usage models, consumption, pricing) for AI features that may run over extended periods rather than single interactions.
Identify new distribution opportunities, including how these capabilities might extend beyond Adobe's own products into other platforms and contexts where our customers work.
Help define adoption and retention loops appropriate to this new category of product, balancing fast iteration with a longer-term vision.
Partner closely across the organization, including engineering, design, research, corporate strategy, and go-to-market, to bring this vision to life.
Keep the customer at the center, developing deep familiarity with the people and businesses who'll use these products, and using that insight to shape what gets built and how much autonomy they actually want.
