Group Product Design Manager, Document Cloud Mobile

The opportunity

Adobe Design is looking for a design leader who is energized to lead through ambiguity and transformation: a visionary who can help shape how people access knowledge and information while on the go, every day from their mobile devices.

You will lead and shape design strategy across Acrobat's mobile surfaces, evolving some of Adobe's most successful products while creating the conditions for your team to completely reinvent them. Document Cloud is Adobe's fastest-growing cloud, reaching over 650 million monthly active users through products including Acrobat, Sign, and Scan. Our legacy of innovation speaks for itself: TIME's Best Invention two years running, and a Fast Company top 10 spot in Applied AI for 2026.

You are the kind of leader people want to follow. You build environments where designers develop strong points of view, feel safe taking creative risks, and grow into the best versions of themselves. You know that the work only gets better when the people doing it feel seen, challenged, and genuinely supported.

This is not a role for someone who needs the path clear before they start moving. It is for a design leader who inspires while rallying others, thrives in ambiguity, brings rigor to big ideas, and can hold complex systems and the human moment at the same time.

If you are ready to influence how the world works at scale, invest deeply in the people who will help get it there, and leave something lasting behind, we would love to meet you.
