The Opportunity
Are you enthusiastic about the future of creativity? Adobe has a long history of transforming creative workflows and is the leading creator of software used in professional digital imaging services, movies, illustration, and more. Why stop there? Adobe Design, our nearly 400-person product design group, is looking for a dedicated designer to help us invent the next generation of professional creative software.
What you’ll be working on
As a designer, you’ll work with a team to design from the ground up as we develop a brand-new experience for creative professionals across the globe. You’ll be working to support some of the world’s best illustrators, animators, fine artists, brand designers, and other creative souls.
Your enthusiasm for ambiguity and ability to execute through early strategy through launch is key. You’ll convey design concepts through compelling stories — via sketches, storyboards, hi-fidelity mockups, and/or prototypes — and craft clear and effective deliverables as we work together bring this vision to life.
You’ll support ongoing, world-wide qualitative research in close partnership with the Adobe Design Research team, and your empathy-first design concepts will span creative fields, third-party integrations, and cross-team collaborations. You’ll pair that research with proactive investigations into ideas and technical opportunities across and beyond Adobe to help bring the best of technology and innovative design to life.
A close collaboration with design, product management, and engineering partners will help you draft initial concepts and establish foundational frameworks and patterns that scale across devices, surfaces, and contexts. There are many complex design problems to lend your thoughtfulness and careful eye to as you deliver practical and intuitive design solutions. And as with any large and worthy endeavor, you’ll need to be able to effectively deliver, receive, and respond to feedback from colleagues in an iterative fashion.
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!
