TL;DR · Principal Product Manager, Data Intelligence and AI Governance

The Principal Product Manager role at Adobe’s data platform team focuses on shaping the strategic direction and implementation of metadata strategy, governance frameworks, and AI readiness for enterprise data assets. This PM will define and drive Adobe's enterprise metadata model, establish standards for external teams to build upon, and ensure data trustworthiness as it moves through each layer of the platform. Key responsibilities include developing a unified operator console for governance and observability, defining agent readiness scoring models, and creating HITL governance frameworks. The ideal candidate has over 10 years of product management experience in data platforms, with expertise in AI/ML data lifecycles and cross-functional alignment skills. Familiarity with tools like Kafka, Databricks, Unity Catalog, and knowledge graph concepts is preferred, as is a deep understanding of what constitutes trustworthy AI data at an enterprise level.

What you'll do

  • Define and drive Adobe's enterprise metadata model for cataloguing, structuring, and maintaining data integrity.
  • Own the product roadmap for metadata enrichment, normalization, and publication to ensure consistency across systems.
  • Develop a cross-product impact analysis capability to assess changes in event schemas or knowledge entities.
  • Establish and maintain a HITL governance framework that includes human review triggers and downstream corrections.
  • Drive the strategy for a unified operator console providing coherent governance and observability across multiple data systems.

What we're looking for

  • 10+ years of product management experience in data platform or related field.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related discipline.
  • Proven track record owning data governance, metadata, or data quality products.
  • Deep understanding of AI/ML data lifecycle and requirements for 'agent-ready' data.
  • Strong ability to write clear engineering PRDs translating complex systems into user problems.
  • Experience driving cross-functional alignment across teams without direct authority.
  • Familiarity with event streaming, schema registries, and data pipeline governance tools.
