TL;DR · Director of Product Management

Director of Product Management - Adobe Builders eXperience (ABX) joins the ABX organization to lead the strategy and execution for agentic development platforms. This role involves building an organizational framework from the ground up, defining roadmaps, and establishing success metrics for tools that empower internal builders to ship software with AI. You will manage the product lifecycle across three modes of agentic development: delegation, transformation, and orchestration. Key responsibilities include making high-conviction build-versus-buy decisions regarding external models and tools while fostering a partnership with the builder community. The ideal candidate possesses technical credibility, an engineering mindset, and deep fluency in agentic systems, including model evaluation, orchestration frameworks, inference costs, and the dev-tooling stack. You will lead a small team to automate the software development life cycle and navigate complex trade-offs between latency and accuracy.

What you'll do

  • Translate the vision for agentic development into a written strategy, roadmap, and measurable OKRs.
  • Manage the platform across three modes of development: Delegation, Transformation, and Orchestration.
  • Build engagement mechanisms to foster trust and partnership with the internal developer community.
  • Act as the primary advocate and marketer for the agentic platform across the organization.
  • Make high-conviction decisions on which external models and tools to integrate into the stack.
  • Remove operational bottlenecks and automate the team's internal software development lifecycle.
  • Design and implement a non-traditional operating model for the product team in partnership with engineering.
  • Lead, mentor, and grow a small team of product managers as the mandate expands.

What we're looking for

  • Senior PM leadership with a track record of building strategy and teams from scratch.
  • Experience leading product for a developer or AI platform within a large engineering organization.
  • Proven experience driving adoption of AI-augmented development tooling at scale.
  • Technical credibility to read, reason about, and discuss code with engineers.
  • Deep technical fluency in agentic systems, including model evaluation, orchestration frameworks, and dev-tooling stacks.
  • Ability to navigate the full agentic stack, including CI/CD, build systems, and observability.
  • Strategic ability to make high-conviction decisions under ambiguity and rapidly shifting landscapes.
  • A technical degree in CS, Math, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
