JOB PURPOSE

This role is part of our Global Studios team. We create emotive yet conversion-focused ideas, products and campaigns at scale and speed. Our specialty is hyper-personalised, digital communications that change perceptions, shape new behaviours, and shift market share for our clients.

We’re looking for a Product Owner to drive the rollout and ongoing evolution of Adobe GenStudio across the DEPT® Global Studios team. We’ve recently launched a GenStudio MVP as an operating system for Global Studios—bringing more consistent ways of working, powered by automation and AI.

This role owns what happens next: scaling the platform across all Global Studios clients by end of year, shaping its roadmap, and ensuring it delivers measurable operational value as usage grows. You’ll sit within Tech & Automation, working closely with a technical lead, offshore Adobe teams, senior stakeholders, and Adobe itself. This is a high-impact role influencing how Global Studios operate at scale.

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

• Own the rollout of Adobe GenStudio across Studios, onboarding all clients by end of year
• Define and evolve the GenStudio product vision and roadmap, aligned to Studios’ growth strategy
• Establish clear success metrics (adoption, efficiency, throughput, cost impact) and track value realisation
• Identify workflow inefficiencies and drive scalable solutions through automation and AI
• Own and prioritise the backlog, balancing rollout, iteration, and ongoing platform running
• Lead change management, embedding new ways of working at scale
• Lead adoption across Studios, embedding new ways of working and acting as senior escalation point
• Partner with the technical lead, offshore Adobe teams, and Adobe to coordinate delivery and maximise platform capability

• Experience working with offshore teams is a plus
• Clear communicator with a people-first approach
