The Opportunity
Are you interested in helping lead design in the world's leading design company? We’re seeking a Design Program Manager to partner with the design leadership team to help build tools and technology in partnership with our product teams.
You will join a group of program managers that focus broadly across Adobe’s businesses to drive the creation of flagship applications, collaborating with senior design leadership and partners across the entire development process.

In partnership with design leadership, you’ll shepherd the workload and process, all while being a champion for team culture and developing and maintaining positive relationships with the product team. This requires experience communicating across teams and stakeholders, creating clear plans out of ambiguity, actively spotting trouble on the horizon, and communicating updates to our executive partners.
