Principal Product Manager

Changing the world through digital experiences is what Adobe's all about. We give everyone—from emerging artists to global brands—everything they need to design and deliver exceptional digital experiences! We're passionate about empowering people to create beautiful and powerful images, videos, and apps, and transform how companies interact with customers across every screen.

We're on a mission to hire the very best and are committed to creating exceptional employee experiences where everyone is respected and has access to equal opportunity. We realize that new ideas can come from everywhere in the organization, and we know the next big idea could be yours!

The team behind Adobe's identity solutions powers every customer's first touchpoint with the company. Identity is at the heart of how millions of people sign up, sign in, recover accounts, and access products seamlessly across devices and surfaces.

As a Principal Product Manager, you will build the next generation of secure, simple, and intelligent identity experiences. You'll define how we evolve authentication, MFA, passkeys, device trust, and automated risk signals—while reducing friction and improving conversion for customers globally.

You will collaborate with global engineering, build, analytics, and product teams to solve high-visibility challenges. These include cross-device continuity, agent/LLM identity, account recovery at scale, and progressive profiling. This role offers a chance to influence every Adobe product, try innovative solutions, and deliver platform capabilities that impact activation, retention, and trust.

If you want to build foundational systems that power billions of interactions, this is the role for you. These systems define how Adobe customers securely connect to creativity and efficiency.
