About the role

  • We are seeking an experienced and strategic Product Manager, Experience Engineering & Platforms to join DEPT®'s growing Adobe practice in North America.
  • They come to DEPT® because their legacy AEM implementation has become a bottleneck, their site performance is eroding paid media ROI, or they need to scale content operations across dozens of markets without proportionally scaling headcount.
  • You will run executive steering committees, mentor product owners embedded in individual delivery teams, and track value realization across the program from kickoff through go-live and beyond.

Responsibilities

  • Lead Program-Level Roadmap Strategy: Develop and maintain 12-to-24-month product roadmaps across multiple agile teams working on AEM Sites, Edge Delivery Services, and Adobe Commerce implementations - sequencing platform migrations, feature buildouts, and integration milestones in a way that balances business value delivery with technical risk management.
  • Own Senior Stakeholder Relationships: Run executive steering committees and maintain ongoing alignment with Director and VP-level business sponsors, translating complex headless architecture decisions and composable platform tradeoffs into clear business language tied to outcomes like content velocity, time-to-market, and conversion rate improvement.
  • Drive Value Realization and ROI Tracking: Define measurable success criteria at program inception - Core Web Vitals benchmarks, content publishing throughput, campaign activation speed - and build the reporting cadences that surface progress against those metrics to clients using Adobe Analytics and Adobe Target data as the foundation for ongoing prioritization decisions.
  • Manage Cross-Team Dependencies and Scope: Identify and resolve dependencies between AEM Sites authoring teams, EDS front-end delivery squads, Commerce integration workstreams, and client-side technology and marketing operations teams - negotiating scope changes with stakeholders when discovery surfaces complexity that was not visible at contract, and keeping delivery on track without sacrificing program integrity.
  • Develop and maintain 12-to-24-month product roadmaps across multiple agile teams working on AEM Sites, Edge Delivery Services, and Adobe Commerce implementations - sequencing platform migrations, feature buildouts, and integration milestones in a way that balances business value delivery with technical risk management.
  • Run executive steering committees and maintain ongoing alignment with Director and VP-level business sponsors, translating complex headless architecture decisions and composable platform tradeoffs into clear business language tied to outcomes like content velocity, time-to-market, and conversion rate improvement.
  • Define measurable success criteria at program inception - Core Web Vitals benchmarks, content publishing throughput, campaign activation speed - and build the reporting cadences that surface progress against those metrics to clients using Adobe Analytics and Adobe Target data as the foundation for ongoing prioritization decisions.
  • Operating at the intersection of technology and marketing, our 4,000+ specialists deliver growth invention across Brand & Media, Experience, Commerce, CRM, and Technology & Data.
  • We're 50|50 tech and marketing, partner-led, and first to move.
  • We actively seek to recruit, develop, nurture, and retain talented individuals from diverse backgrounds, with varying skills and perspectives.

Requirements

  • Adobe Product Fluency: You have hands-on familiarity with the Adobe DXP stack from a product strategy and program delivery perspective.
  • Specifically: you have led or closely supported programs built on Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) Sites, including both traditional and headless delivery patterns
  • you have worked with Adobe Commerce in an enterprise context and understand its integration surface with content systems
  • you are conversant in Adobe Analytics and Adobe Target as the data and experimentation layer that informs roadmap prioritization
  • DEPT® participates in E-Verify, meaning your Form I-9 information will be sent to the federal government to confirm you are authorized to work in the U.S.
  • Our hope is that you can feel good about the contributions DEPT® is making to the world and we always have an open door for your ideas in making the world a better place.
  • 6-10 Years of Product Management Experience in Complex Digital Programs: You have managed products or programs at enterprise scale, ideally in a consulting or agency context where you were accountable to external clients rather than internal stakeholders. You know how to run a discovery, write a business case, and hold a program together through the ambiguity of a platform migration or a multi-phased commerce re-platform.
  • Deep Domain Expertise in Headless and Composable Architecture: You understand the architectural patterns that define modern digital experience platforms - headless CMS, API-first commerce, CDN-level personalization, and composable DXP strategy - well enough to challenge vendor recommendations, identify integration risks during scoping, and help clients make durable platform decisions rather than chasing short-term vendor incentives.
  • Adobe Product Fluency: You have hands-on familiarity with the Adobe DXP stack from a product strategy and program delivery perspective. Specifically: you have led or closely supported programs built on Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) Sites, including both traditional and headless delivery patterns
  • you understand how Edge Delivery Services (EDS) changes the authoring and delivery model and can articulate its performance and operational implications to business stakeholders
  • and you understand how Adobe CDN fits into a performance and caching strategy for high-traffic.
  • Senior Stakeholder Management and Executive Communication: You are comfortable in the room with Directors, VPs, and program management leads - not just presenting, but facilitating alignment when business and technology priorities are in tension. You can write a crisp executive summary, run a steering committee that does not waste anyone's time, and deliver difficult scope or timeline conversations without damaging the client relationship.
  • Cross-Functional Program Leadership: You have experience coordinating across multiple delivery teams with distinct technical disciplines - front-end engineering, platform engineering, content operations, analytics implementation - and you know how to build the dependency maps, RACI structures, and escalation paths that keep a multi-workstream program moving without creating organizational gridlock.
  • We are a collaborative, open-door, best-idea-wins environment that fosters personal and company growth and has fun doing it. Here is a snapshot of our benefits package:
  • Healthcare, Dental, and Vision coverage
  • Paid Company Holidays
