The Opportunity Adobe Firefly is built on a growing ecosystem of third-party AI models. This Principal PM role is the product authority for that ecosystem, from partner evaluation through production across Firefly, Photoshop, Premiere, and other surfaces. This is the single product point of contact and decision-making authority for Adobe’s third-party model strategy, regularly influencing outcomes at the Vice President level. The work includes policy-sensitive decisions—geopolitical model strategy, data hosting, partner viability—where real judgment is required, not just coordination. What You’ll Do Strategy & Roadmap Own the multi-year third-party model roadmap: new model onboarding, launches, in-app experiences, and deprecations Define which models Adobe integrates, under what conditions, and in what order Lead all high-stakes model strategy decisions: geopolitical and data hosting strategy, early access programs, and partner model policy Define enterprise differentiation strategy: what individual users get, what enterprise admins control, and what larger customers require Own the success metrics framework for the third-party model program and report performance to senior leadership Launch Execution & Operations Author product requirements for new partner model integrations and lead launch coordination across engineering, product marketing, legal, finance, and security Serve as the decision authority when product, finance, legal, and privacy teams cannot align—the one others bring problems to, not the one who passes them up Manage the model onboarding workflow: finance approval routing, legal and privacy clearance, security review coordination Track capacity planning across active partners flagging risks before they become problems Resolve customer-facing partner model issues raised by customer success, solutions engineers, and field teams What You Need to Succeed 8 years of product management experience, with substantial time in a platform or ecosystem role spanning multiple product surfaces Proven ability to drive decisions without direct authority Strong proficiency with technical tradeoffs: inference cost, data residency, rate limiting, and model quality Comfort in the AI space where models launch fast, partnerships shift, and priorities change weekly Strong written communication and judgment about when to decide and when to seek input Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience; MBA or advanced degree a plus We move fast, and the models we partner with shape what millions of creatives can make.
