About The Position

The opportunity Adobe Design is seeking a Senior Staff Product Designer to join our Document Cloud Design team, focused on horizontal design leadership across the Acrobat and Express integration. This role sits above any single surface or workstream, and is passionate about elevating coherence and quality as we grow into one connected design practice. What's key to this opportunity is scale. Document Cloud operates with over 850 million monthly active users, and our work sits at the center of how they consume, comprehend, and create. That scale is what makes this moment matter. The opportunity ahead is to evolve the trusted platform that has made us essential to those users, crafting AI assistants and features that expand and improve the efficiency and quality of the work people do, whether they're a student, a small business owner, or a global enterprise.

Relevant bachelor’s degree and/or an advanced degree in a related field, or equivalent experience.
