Principal Technical Program Manager - Monetization

About the Role

Adobe Express is one of Adobe’s fastest-growing creative surfaces, serving millions of users across web and mobile. We are seeking a Principal Technical Program Manager (Monetization) to be the operational backbone of a fast-moving, multidisciplinary team—someone who thrives in zero-to-one environments and knows how to keep a diverse group aligned, informed, and moving fast.

This role sits at the center of everything: the roadmap, the rituals, and the cross-functional relationships that make it possible for a team like this to ship ambitious work on tight timelines. You will work closely with engineering, product, design, data science, research, and go-to-market partners.

What You'll Do

• Drive end‑to‑end execution of monetization initiatives, translating strategic partnerships and platform opportunities into shipped, high‑quality integrations that expand Adobe’s reach and impact.
• Create and run scalable program frameworks (roadmaps, release trains, dependency tracking, risk mitigation, and change communication) to support high‑velocity, multi‑partner delivery.
• Partner closely with product, engineering, research, design, and GTM teams to align execution with longer‑term strategy.
• Provide executive‑ready visibility and decision support, surfacing risks, tradeoffs, and progress through clear, concise narratives that enable timely leadership decisions.
• Promote a Product-led approach committed to iterative launches, experimentation, and learning loops while maintaining cohesion with Express roadmap.

Apply AI Innovation

• Champion adoption of Gen AI and Agentic AI to improve speed, quality, and scalability.
• Apply AI to real-world challenges and drive cross-functional efficiency through AI-powered workflows, automation, and intelligent decision-making.
• Build a culture of continuous improvement through AI-enabled automation and intelligence.
• Stay current on AI/ML advancements and translate emerging technologies into actionable solutions.

What You’ll Bring

• 10+ years of experience in software engineering, technical program management, or technical product management.
• Experience in leading large-scale, cross-functional initiatives across diverse teams in the SaaS, subscription, or PLG-driven environments preferred.
• Track record of using AI to improve cross-functional efficiency and reduce cycle time.
• Ability to build relationships and influence across a globally distributed organization.
• Bachelor's degree in a relevant field or equivalent experience.

You won't just deliver programs—you will redefine how work gets done by embedding AI into the fabric of product development and cross-functional collaboration. Your impact will be measured by how effectively you scale innovation, accelerate execution, and unlock new levels of efficiency through AI.
