Job description

THE OPPORTUNITY

Do you understand how marketing and content teams actually work, and do you want to build the system that tells them what to do next? The Adobe Experience Manager Sites team is building the next generation of an agentic Content Management System: one that puts market intelligence at the practitioner's fingertips and turns signals into the next best action for content teams. We are looking for someone who has lived the content-strategy problem and can also build, so that our roadmap is shaped by real practitioner insight rather than guesswork.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • You will join a team that works closely with Adobe's customers to understand how they create content today, and to find creative solutions for the growing demand for content velocity and efficiency. Your domain expertise will help the team set direction and prioritize hypotheses, which we prototype and validate with customers before they become a productized agentic system that operates at scale\

  • Co-innovate with customers across marketing, content strategy, and content-creation automation, and translate how they work today into product requirements.

  • Bring user empathy to requirements: scrutinize what customers ask for, then shape it into solutions that make content teams more agile, faster, and more efficient.

  • Design and build systems where AI drives the outcome for our customers, with a human in the loop where it matters.

  • Partner with customers and stakeholders across the organization to validate your ideas and turn them into product direction the team can build on.

  • Integrate with Adobe Experience Cloud solutions and partner tools such as Semrush for SEO/GEO, alongside Adobe Brand Visibility and CX Enterprise Coworker

  • Share what you learn with the team, and help peers build fluency in how content practitioners think.

WHAT YOU NEED TO SUCCEED

  • Hands-on expertise in marketing, content strategy, or content-creation automation, with working knowledge of SEO and GEO. This domain expertise is the core of the role.

  • 4+ years of relevant professional experience, or a relevant university degree with equivalent experience.

  • Working knowledge of web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Core Web Vitals), and comfort building and prototyping with AI-assisted coding tools such as Claude Code or Codex.

  • Self-directed and curious: you work toward ambiguous goals, ask the right questions at the right time, and do not stop at the first plausible answer.
