Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. DEPT® is a Growth Invention company focused on helping ambitious brands grow faster through technology and marketing. They are seeking an experienced Product Manager for their Adobe practice to lead product management and roadmap strategy for enterprise clients modernizing their digital experiences on Adobe technology.
Responsibilities
- Lead Program-Level Roadmap Strategy: Develop and maintain 12-to-24-month product roadmaps across multiple agile teams working on AEM Sites, Edge Delivery Services, and Adobe Commerce implementations — sequencing platform migrations, feature buildouts, and integration milestones in a way that balances business value delivery with technical risk management
- Own Senior Stakeholder Relationships: Run executive steering committees and maintain ongoing alignment with Director and VP-level business sponsors, translating complex headless architecture decisions and composable platform tradeoffs into clear business language tied to outcomes like content velocity, time-to-market, and conversion rate improvement
- Drive Value Realization and ROI Tracking: Define measurable success criteria at program inception — Core Web Vitals benchmarks, content publishing throughput, campaign activation speed — and build the reporting cadences that surface progress against those metrics to clients using Adobe Analytics and Adobe Target data as the foundation for ongoing prioritization decisions
- Manage Cross-Team Dependencies and Scope: Identify and resolve dependencies between AEM Sites authoring teams, EDS front-end delivery squads, Commerce integration workstreams, and client-side technology and marketing operations teams — negotiating scope changes with stakeholders when discovery surfaces complexity that was not visible at contract, and keeping delivery on track without sacrificing program integrity
- Produce and Govern Platform Strategy Deliverables: Author and maintain the consulting artifacts that anchor client decisions: platform architecture assessments, headless CMS strategy documents, composable architecture blueprints, AEM-to-EDS migration roadmaps, and Adobe Commerce integration strategies — ensuring these documents remain living references that evolve with the program rather than artifacts that go stale after kickoff
Skills
- 6–10 Years of Product Management Experience in Complex Digital Programs: You have managed products or programs at enterprise scale, ideally in a consulting or agency context where you were accountable to external clients rather than internal stakeholders. You know how to run a discovery, write a business case, and hold a program together through the ambiguity of a platform migration or a multi-phased commerce re-platform
- Deep Domain Expertise in Headless and Composable Architecture: You understand the architectural patterns that define modern digital experience platforms — headless CMS, API-first commerce, CDN-level personalization, and composable DXP strategy — well enough to challenge vendor recommendations, identify integration risks during scoping, and help clients make durable platform decisions rather than chasing short-term vendor incentives
- Adobe Product Fluency: You have hands-on familiarity with the Adobe DXP stack from a product strategy and program delivery perspective. Specifically: you have led or closely supported programs built on Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) Sites, including both traditional and headless delivery patterns; you understand how Edge Delivery Services (EDS) changes the authoring and delivery model and can articulate its performance and operational implications to business stakeholders; you have worked with Adobe Commerce in an enterprise context and understand its integration surface with content systems; you are conversant in Adobe Analytics and Adobe Target as the data and experimentation layer that informs roadmap prioritization; and you understand how Adobe CDN fits into a performance and caching strategy for high-traffic properties
- Senior Stakeholder Management and Executive Communication: You are comfortable in the room with Directors, VPs, and program management leads — not just presenting, but facilitating alignment when business and technology priorities are in tension. You can write a crisp executive summary, run a steering committee that does not waste anyone's time, and deliver difficult scope or timeline conversations without damaging the client relationship
- Cross-Functional Program Leadership: You have experience coordinating across multiple delivery teams with distinct technical disciplines — front-end engineering, platform engineering, content operations, analytics implementation — and you know how to build the dependency maps, RACI structures, and escalation paths that keep a multi-workstream program moving without creating organizational gridlock
