About this role
The Opportunity
Adobe Express is one of Adobe’s most high-profile growth products. It is at the forefront of delivering Adobe’s “Creativity for All” mission by making the core technology of our industry-leading products available with no learning curve. Creative tools are increasingly consumed through AI agents, automation platforms, and developer ecosystems rather than standalone applications. We are hiring a Principal Product Manager to lead the Adobe Express developer platform, including APIs and MCP integrations. You will define how enterprises, developers, and a growing base of power users access Express capabilities inside their own products, workflows, automation tools, and AI experiences.
You will lead the evolution of the Express API platform across pricing, onboarding, access, monetization, and developer experience. You will also help define how Adobe Express evolves into a programmable creative and productivity platform.
WHAT YOU’LL DO • Define the strategy for Adobe Express APIs, MCP, and enterprise integrations • Drive adoption and evolution of the Express API platform • Support developers and enterprises building custom creative workflows, agents, and automation infrastructure with Express • Partner with customers and developers on authentication, onboarding, governance, and integration patterns • Work across engineering, GTM, design, and developer experience teams to deliver APIs and tooling that are reliable and easy to adopt • Align with PMs leading assistant and chat integrations on shared capabilities and platform direction • Use customer and adoption insights to guide roadmap priorities and investment decisions • Influence the future of Adobe’s developer ecosystem across automation and AI experiences
WHAT YOU’LL NEED TO SUCCEED • 8+ years of product management experience building APIs, developer tools, platforms, or enterprise SaaS products • Experience defining monetization, packaging, entitlement, or usage models for infrastructure or developer-facing products • Deep familiarity with APIs, authentication, SDKs, rate limiting, automation infrastructure, and extensibility models • You translate complex customer requirements into scalable developer-facing products and services • Cross-functional leadership across engineering, business, design, and go-to-market organizations • Understanding of enterprise requirements around reliability, scalability, governance, and operational controls • Clear communication across technical and non-technical audiences on platform strategy and monetization decisions • Deep curiosity about AI platforms, developer ecosystems, and emerging integration patterns, with a point of view on how products and product organizations should evolve alongside them
