Are you passionate about designing mobile apps and games that captivate users and keep them coming back? Adobe is seeking a Senior Product Engagement Manager to shape the future of a new mobile app/game within the Emerging Business Org. This role is pivotal in creating the most engaging creative tools for our users, with a focus on drawing, play, and the innovative use of generative AI.

Engage with Users & Test Hypotheses – Conduct usability testing, A/B experiments, and direct customer research to refine the product based on real-world insights.
Design for Young Creators – Craft engaging, age-appropriate experiences that foster creativity, confidence, and digital expression for kids.
