Sr. Designer

You are a maker first. You care deeply about typography, image-making, composition, and the details that make an idea feel fully resolved. 

What You’ll Do 

Design Across the Work 

• Create high-quality design across campaigns, multi-platform design, product storytelling, and live experiences.  

• Develop work from early concept and visual exploration through design development and final execution.  

• Apply exceptional craft across typography, image-making, layout, composition and art direction.  

• Work across high-velocity everyday output and highly crafted flagship work.  

• Adapt strong ideas across channels and formats without losing their intelligence or visual impact. 

• Create work that feels connected and recognizably Adobe while remaining fresh, distinctive and culturally relevant. 

Turn Ideas into Visual Worlds 

• Partner with Creative Directors, Design Directors and Art Directors to develop visual territories and creative systems.  

• Translate campaign and creative ideas into compelling art direction and design expression.  

• Collaborate with Copywriters to develop visual and verbal ideas as one connected creative system.

• Know when to explore broadly and when to refine toward a clear, production-ready solution.  

• Bring a strong visual point of view while remaining open to collaboration and critique. 

Build Scalable Creative Systems

• Test how design ideas perform across channels, formats and audience needs.  

• Find opportunities to improve tools and workflows based on real creative applications.  

• Balance systematic thinking with experimentation, surprise and flexibility.  

• Document design thinking clearly so others can apply it effectively. 

Advance AI-Native Design 

• Use Creative Cloud, Firefly and emerging generative tools throughout concepting, prototyping and production.  

• Use AI-enabled workflows to expand visual exploration and accelerate iteration without lowering the standard.  

• Apply human judgment, taste and craft to all AI-assisted work.  

• Help define where AI can support scale and where human authorship and intervention remain essential.  

• Test emerging Adobe capabilities through real creative work and share useful feedback with Product teams.  

• Apply responsible AI practices, including provenance, creator rights and Content Credentials.
