About the Role

Adobe Express is one of Adobe’s fastest-growing creative surfaces, serving millions of users across web and mobile. We are seeking a Principal Technical Program Manager (Monetization) to be the operational backbone of a fast-moving, multidisciplinary team—someone who thrives in zero-to-one environments and knows how to keep a diverse group aligned, informed, and moving fast.

This role sits at the center of everything: the roadmap, the rituals, and the cross-functional relationships that make it possible for a team like this to ship ambitious work on tight timelines. You will work closely with engineering, product, design, data science, research, and go-to-market partners.

What You'll Do

Manage End-to-End Delivery

  • Drive endtoend execution of monetization initiatives, translating strategic partnerships and platform opportunities into shipped, high‑quality integrations that expand Adobe’s reach and impact.
  • Create and run scalable program frameworks (roadmaps, release trains, dependency tracking, risk mitigation, and change communication) to support high‑velocity, multi‑partner delivery.
  • Partner closely with product, engineering, research, design, and GTM teams to align execution with longer‑term strategy.
  • Provide executiveready visibility and decision support, surfacing risks, tradeoffs, and progress through clear, concise narratives that enable timely leadership decisions.
  • Promote a Product-led approach committed to iterative launches, experimentation, and learning loops while maintaining cohesion with Express roadmap.
