Job Summary
Director, Data Science & Strategy – Agentic Product. Define the measurement framework for agentic products, establish metrics and evaluation standards for AI agents across first-party and third-party surfaces, and build AI-native analytical workflows (LLMs, agentic tooling) to analyze data, generate insights, and report anomalies at scale. Design and own the experimentation infrastructure for rapid A/B and multivariate tests, translating PLG signals (activation, feature adoption, retention) into rigorous, reproducible insights that drive product iterations. Shape product and GTM strategy through data, acting as a strategic thought partner to product, partnerships, and GTM leads to influence roadmap prioritization and go-to-market decisions. Design the strategic intelligence layer with competitive analysis, opportunity sizing, and performance benchmarking for Firefly and third-party agent teams. Drive insight governance and standards, ensuring trustworthy analytical outputs and appropriate human oversight where agent judgment is insufficient. Drive cross-functional impact and scale across Adobe's first-party products and broader AI-enabled surfaces.
Required Qualifications
- 10+ years of experience in data science, analytics, or strategic insights, ideally within AI-driven products, creative software, or platform ecosystems
- Deep fluency in the mechanics of agentic systems — how agents plan, act, and are evaluated — with the ability to design measurement frameworks that capture performance, quality, and business impact across both first-party and third-party surfaces
- Expert-level command of experimentation methodology — A/B testing, causal inference, and multivariate analysis — with a strong PLG instinct for the metrics that drive activation, retention, and growth in product-led motions
- Proven ability to build AI-native analytical workflows, using LLMs and agentic tooling to move beyond manual analysis and surface insights at scale and speed
- Exceptional strategic thinking, with the ability to translate complex data signals into clear, opinionated recommendations that influence roadmap and go-to-market decisions
- Strong executive presence and communication skills — able to present findings with clarity and conviction to senior leaders, and to align cross-functional teams around a shared analytical framework
- Comfort operating in ambiguity and defining new approaches in spaces where the playbook doesn't yet exist
- Passion for Adobe's mission and a genuine belief that AI should amplify, not replace, human creativity
