JOB PURPOSE

This role is part of our Global Studios team. We create emotive yet conversion-focused ideas, products and campaigns at scale and speed. Our specialty is hyper-personalised, digital communications that change perceptions, shape new behaviours, and shift market share for our clients.

• Define and evolve the GenStudio product vision and roadmap, aligned to Studios’ growth strategy
• Establish clear success metrics (adoption, efficiency, throughput, cost impact) and track value realisation
• Identify workflow inefficiencies and drive scalable solutions through automation and AI
• Own and prioritise the backlog, balancing rollout, iteration, and ongoing platform running
• Lead change management, embedding new ways of working at scale
• Lead adoption across Studios, embedding new ways of working and acting as senior escalation point
• Partner with the technical lead, offshore Adobe teams, and Adobe to coordinate delivery and maximise platform capability

WHAT YOU BRING:
