Responsibilities

• Manage a team of 6–8 Forward-Deployed AI Engineers embedded across GMI's paid media, lifecycle marketing, data science, and marketing analytics functions.
• Identify the highest priority work, clear obstacles, raise the quality of what they build, connect the dots across functions, and ensure the patterns that work in one team spread to the others.
• You're not the one building agents day-to-day. You're the one making sure the people who do have what they need to move fast and build things that stick.
• Be a key part of how AISI grows. You'll partner on hiring, develop the team's capabilities, and help establish the playbook for what good forward-deployed AI work looks like at Adobe.

Requirements

• 3+ years managing people in AI, data science, machine learning, or a closely related technical field
• Strong working knowledge of modern AI concepts: agentic systems, knowledge graphs, RAG, context window management, tool use, etc. sufficient to engage substantively with your team's work
• Experience with a marketing or marketing technology organization, with a genuine understanding of how various marketing functions operate
• Demonstrated ability to develop people, with evidence that engineers or analysts you've managed grew in capability and impact
• Strong presentation and communication skills, including experience translating technical AI concepts for VP-level or executive audiences
• Proven ability to coordinate across multiple functions and collaborators simultaneously
• Active user of AI tools and platforms in your own work!

Preferred

• Experience in a forward-deployed, embedded, or solutions engineering model where you had to earn trust quickly and deliver value in someone else’s environment
• Background in building or scaling internal AI programs, centers of excellence, or enablement functions
• Familiarity with martech ecosystems: CDPs, marketing automation, analytics platforms, campaign management tools
• Experience partnering on recruiting and team-building, not just inheriting a team
