Job description
from Adobe careersThe opportunity
We are looking for a Staff Design Program Manager to join the Firefly Design team within Adobe Design. You will partner with leaders across Product Design for AI products and Creative Pro Design who work with globally distributed teams. Your role will complement and support the leaders for our team's overarching goals and objectives.
This is a rare opportunity to establish and lead the innovation operations practice for one of Adobe's highest-priority product organizations. Firefly sits at the intersection of generative AI and creative tools, and the design team is working in genuinely new territory.
We need someone who has established operational processes for innovative initiatives, who knows how to create conditions for early-stage creative exploration and can bring rigor and repeatability to a space that is often treated as purely intuitive.
There is no existing practice to inherit. You will build it.
What you'll do
Establish and lead the innovation operations practice for the Firefly Design team, including frameworks, rituals, and tools that enable consistent early-stage design exploration across a globally distributed organization
Design and facilitate design sprints, speculative design sessions, and futures thinking workshops that help the team move from ambiguous problem spaces to actionable design directions
