The Opportunity Adobe Express is one of Adobe’s fastest-growing products, used by millions of people every day to build and share content across social, work, and personal moments. The PLG Engagement team is responsible for how users discover Express, what brings them back, and how the product grows its reach across new surfaces and audiences. This role centers on growth at scale, reaching beyond Express' own surfaces by integrating with the broader product portfolio, external partnerships, and fresh distribution channels. You will work where product, partnerships, and ecosystem strategy meet, deciding how Express is represented throughout Adobe and externally.

Collaborate closely with cross-functional partners to drive high-impact initiatives, balancing trade-offs, managing risks, and keeping collaborators informed. Present performance insights and strategic recommendations to senior leadership, driving alignment and fast decisions. What You’ll Bring Over 10 years of product management experience with a proven history of leading complex, cross-functional projects in a matrixed organization. Proven ability to drive growth through distribution, ecosystem partnerships, or cross-product integration, not just in-product optimization. Strong positioning and storytelling capabilities with the ability to translate product innovation into a clear strategy and differentiated value. Someone who consistently supports and uplifts their colleagues and projects, providing clear direction and thoughtful strategic insight.
