This will help creators from professional filmmakers to social video creators. Technical barriers will be lifted. Mundane tasks will be eliminated. People will have all the creative control they desire to tell their story. This is the future we aim to create. As an established leader in video production, combined with next-generation cutting-edge research, Adobe is well-positioned to lead the next wave in this space.
In this role, you will work very closely with the organization in Adobe Research that invents this technology.

You will oversee, manage, and closely monitor a portfolio of research projects, shepherding them to successful adoption by Adobe's products. To be successful at this role, you need to be able to connect the dots, see the big picture, and make sure that all stakeholders are aligned. If you are a problem solver, passionate about the next generation of technology in this space, and can figure out how to make things happen, this could be the role for you!
What You Will Do

• Oversee, manage, and maintain engagements between Research, Product, Applied ML, and Design organizations, from strategy to tactical execution.
• Drive the establishment of a joint innovation strategy, objectives, key results, and success metrics, in collaboration with Product and Research leadership.
• Manage a portfolio of research projects and their associated resource allocations, diving deeper into those requiring additional technical project management, so that the desired outcomes are achieved.
• Implement and manage a cadence of Product/Research reviews, including strategic priorities reviews, and tactical execution reviews of progress against objectives.
• Establish and influence adoption of a research project portfolio prioritization framework and implement processes and tools to support it.
• Establish feedback and metrics systems to assess the value of Research technologies to Product end users, and to assess the Product team satisfaction with the Research partnership.

• Ability to influence executives, senior leaders, and decision-makers, and to gain alignment without direct authority, leveraging data and storytelling.
• Outstanding interpersonal, verbal, and written communication and presentation skills, resulting in effective and timely information sharing.
• Expert ability to translate highly technical jargon into language that a non-technical audience can understand and work with.
• High degree of curiosity, flexibility, perseverance, teamwork, and self-motivation.
