The opportunity

Are you enthusiastic about the future of creativity and filmmaking? Adobe has a long history of redefining creative workflows and is the leading creator of professional video, audio, motion graphics, and collaboration software.

You’ll be building tools that support some of the world’s best filmmakers, editors, directors, and producers make their best work.

Your ability to navigate ambiguity and to lead early strategy through concrete execution is key. You’ll convey design vision and strategy through compelling stories — via sketches, storyboards, hi-fidelity mockups, and/or prototypes — and lead, coach, and collaborate with other designers on the team as they work with you to deliver on this vision. We are looking for someone who shares a passion for video tools and rigorous attention to design detail. We’re building and launching the next generation of professional creative software, and we need extraordinary talent to craft it. If this excites you, we’re excited to chat!
