The Opportunity 

Adobe is a leader empowering creativity for students in K12 and higher education through platforms such as Express, Firefly, Photoshop, Acrobat, Premiere, and Illustrator. Over the past five years, the concept of being a "Creator" has gained significant traction among students, both as a personal aspiration and a professional ambition. The rise of feed-driven platforms has democratized creative opportunities, fostering collaboration and extending creative empowerment beyond traditional professionals to a broader audience. This shift has generated substantial global potential across K12 schools, higher education institutions, and certificate programs, enabling the development of future creative professionals and nurturing creativity in all students. 

As Adobe expands its global presence in education, aligning community engagement with product-led growth strategies will be vital in driving our success in supporting students and educators worldwide.  

 

 

What You’ll Do 

• Community Engagement, Growth, and User Advocacy: Foster and scale a global community of students and educators around Adobe Education by engaging with users, gathering feedback, and implementing community-driven features and improvements. Act as a champion for the user community within the organization, ensuring that user needs and feedback are prioritized in product strategy. Position Adobe across community events as a distinct industry leader focused on creation, collaboration, and community at the intersection for powerful learning. 

• Growth Leadership: Be a leading voice for Product- and Community-led Growth across the broader Adobe Education product leadership teams including Design, Research, Engineering, and Data Science. Lead and mentor a distributed team of Growth Product Managers to drive excellence in embracing PLG methodologies and execution, and partner with your fellow core/platform product leaders. 

• E2E Growth Metrics: Lead strategies and growth funnels across user acquisition, community engagement, and monetization that ultimately drive the continued momentum of Education as Adobe’s next significant business. Lead efforts to strengthen our Product Growth muscle, instilling a sense of curiosity, the strength to challenge internally held frameworks, and an experimentation mentality that celebrates test failures and test wins in the spirit of learning. 

What You Need to Succeed

• Ability to develop and execute a long-term community strategy that aligns with the organization's goals and objectives.
