About the Role

Changing the world through digital experiences is what Adobe's all about. We give everyone—from emerging artists to global brands—everything they need to design and deliver exceptional digital experiences! We're passionate about empowering people to create beautiful and powerful images, videos, and apps, and transform how companies interact with customers across every screen. We are committed to creating exceptional employee experiences where everyone is respected and has access to equal opportunity. We believe that new ideas can come from anywhere in the organization, and the next big idea could be yours! The Firefly Design site team is looking for a Staff Product Designer to help shape intuitive, expressive, and approachable creative experiences rooted in customer needs and crafted with deep design care. Join us to help bring cohesion across Firefly's ecosystem, blending product strategy, visual design, and UX systems to create paths that feel effortless, inclusive, and inspiring.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design connected, welcoming user experiences that help people discover, understand, and trust Firefly's creative tools.
  • Build a strong point of view by listening, observing, and translating insights into action by connecting directly with the creative community.
  • Uphold the highest standards of craft across UX architecture and UI design-ensuring every interaction feels intentional and intuitive.
  • Champion clarity and cohesion across our tools by navigating complexity with emotional intelligence and design leadership.
  • Cultivate alignment across expansive teams and diverse subject areas, supporting individuals in understanding the broader scope while maintaining attention to the particulars.
  • Confidently present your thinking to senior executives, product leads, and engineers-anchored in customer empathy and respectful candor.
  • Create sketches, flows, prototypes, and polished UI-adapting your process to match the problem.
  • Contribute to our evolving design system, voice, and visual language, helping us scale quality and accessibility with consistency and care.
  • Stay strong and adaptable through changing priorities-provide steady leadership and a sense of calm to the work.

Requirements

  • A portfolio that demonstrates exceptional UX and visual design across responsive, multi-surface experiences.
  • Genuine empathy for customers and collaborators-your design process starts by listening and ends by empowering others.
  • A proven ability to lead design within large organizations, managing complexity while building strong cross-functional relationships.
  • Experience designing for user acquisition, onboarding, or adoption-balancing product goals with moments of delight and clarity.
  • Strong sense of accountability-you follow through, even when the path isn't fully clear.
  • Mastery of modern design and prototyping tools (Figma, Adobe CC, etc.).
  • Exceptional communication skills-able to make the complex feel simple and the human feel heard.
  • Dedication to inclusive, accessible, and respectful design practices.

Nice to Have

  • Experience in creativity tools, GenAI, learning experiences, or content ecosystems.
  • Familiarity with marketing flows, product storytelling, or growth surfaces-with a customer-first, brand-respectful lens.

Qualifications

  • Educational background is not explicitly specified, but a strong portfolio demonstrating UX and visual design skills is required.

Benefits & Perks

  • Competitive salary range of $142,700 -- $265,400 annually, varying by location and experience.
  • Potential eligibility for long-term incentives in the form of a new hire equity award.
  • Additional incentives may include short-term incentives such as annual incentive plans or sales commissions for applicable roles.
