Principal Product Manager, Embed Partnerships; Sports & Commercial

Position: Principal Product Manager, 3P Embed Partnerships (Sports & Commercial)
The Opportunity We are seeking a Principal Product Manager to lead the product vision, strategy, and execution for Adobe Express's Third-Party Embed SDK across our sports and commercial partner portfolio — including partners such as the Premier League, and other leading sports and commercial brands who embed Adobe's creative technology directly into their own fan and customer experiences.

This is a highly visible leadership role at the intersection of product, partnerships, and platform strategy. Rather than building a single Adobe-branded surface, you will define how Adobe's creative capabilities — content generation, editing, and personalisation — get embedded into the digital products of some of the world's biggest sports leagues and commercial brands, reaching tens of millions of fans and customers through experiences Adobe doesn't own the front door to.

You will partner closely with Business Development, Engineering, Design, Partner Marketing, and Program Management to translate partner and audience needs into a coherent product roadmap, while balancing the commercial realities of contract commitments, SOW obligations, and platform scalability. This role requires a leader who can move fluidly between long-term platform strategy and the tactical demands of active partner delivery.

What You'll DoOwn the product vision and multi-year strategy for the 3P Embed SDK across sports and commercial verticals, defining how partner-generated content (PGC), fan engagement tools, and embedded creative workflows evolve over time Define and drive the product roadmap for your partner portfolio in alignment with company goals, partner commercial commitments, and audience growth priorities

Lead the full product lifecycle from partner discovery through launch and renewal — balancing technical feasibility, partner-specific requirements, and business impact

Act as the primary product voice in partner-facing conversations, translating technical and commercial complexity into clear, confident narratives for partner stakeholders and Adobe leadership alike

Collaborate deeply with Business Development on commercial structuring, contract renewal cycles, and SOW scoping, ensuring product commitments are deliverable and scalable across the portfolio rather than one-off per partner

Prioritize investment across partners based on audience data, commercial value (MAU vs. ARR contribution), and platform leverage — adapting quickly as partner needs and market signals evolve

Conduct market and competitive analysis across sports tech, fan engagement, and embedded creative tooling to inform positioning and identify new partner and category opportunities

Apply GenAI capabilities where they meaningfully improve fan/customer engagement outcomes and partner commercial value

Build repeatable, platform-level product patterns from partner-specific requirements, reducing one-off engineering and design effort across the portfolio

What We're Looking For8+ years of product management experience, with a demonstrated track record of leading complex platform, partnership, or B2B2C products from concept to scale

Experience in sports, media, fan engagement, or partner/embedded platform products; comfort operating in a B2B2C model where Adobe's product lives inside someone else's experience

Proven ability to balance long-term platform strategy with the near-term demands of active commercial partnerships and contractual delivery

Strong commercial acumen — comfortable engaging with contract terms, SOW conditions, and partner commercial structures alongside traditional product road mapping

Experience owning a multi-partner or multi-account product area, setting strategy, and driving execution across engineering, design, BD, and partner marketing

Strong product judgment with the ability to navigate competing internal priorities (e.g., audience growth vs. predictive/engagement metrics) while protecting partner-facing relationships from internal misalignment

Exceptional communication and storytelling skills, with experience presenting to senior leadership and directly to external partner stakeholders

Deep analytical capabilities, with experience using platform…
