Introduction

The Adobe Design Content Strategy (ADCS) team — a mighty group of Content strategists, content designers, and UX writers focused on in-product user experience — is looking for a passionate, creative leader to help align, grow, and evolve our practice across Adobe’s ecosystem.

The opportunity

Adobe is in a phase of rapid evolution on many fronts and Adobe Design is at the heart of all of it. Our Content Strategy team is part of a large, centralized design organization that works horizontally across the company. Our team has impact on practically all of Adobe’s product portfolio.

As Director of Content Strategy, you’ll partner closely with leaders from Design, Product, and Engineering to build high-quality experiences at scale across many dozens of products. This role sits at the center of all product development at Adobe and play a key role in building our next generation of products.

What You’ll Do

• Create culture. Coach and mentor an amazing team of Content strategists with a diverse array of skills, and foster a workplace where everyone can grow, learn, and do their best work.

• Grow the team. Represent Adobe’s Content Strategy practice at and beyond Adobe, and you’ll connect with, hire, and attract top-notch talent.

• Lead Content Strategy partnerships. Build a collaborative environment and encourage deep partnerships with many teams and disciplines.

• Redefine the bar for quality. Set the standards for content craft, and bring that to your work in defining and implementing Content Strategy for redesigns, product iterations, and 1.0s.

• Influence big-picture product strategy. Directly contribute to high-level strategy decisions with senior leadership, and align your team to meet Adobe’s rapidly evolving content needs.

• Collaborate cross-functionally. Partner with a network of leaders and practitioners to deliver better user and business outcomes.

What you’ll bring to the team

As an experienced and thoughtful content designer as well as a deeply empathetic leader, you’ll be helping a brilliant, passionate group of people develop their career and get set up for success while aligning the team’s work to Adobe’s larger goals. You’ll also be forging the way to closer partnerships with other content-focused teams, bringing your talents to create communities of practice and spaces where people can learn and encourage each other.

Must-haves

• A 5+ year track record as a content leader and a love for managing, mentoring, or helping content designers grow in their field.

• Strong systems thinking and experience applying content design across a sophisticated, interconnected ecosystem

• Experience crafting and governing content standards, terminology, and UX writing efforts at a company with digital products
