Adobe senior full-time

Description

Enterprise brands need more creative than any internal team can produce alone: dozens of branded variants a week, across every channel. Adobe's Firefly Creative Production platform can generate that volume, but it can't decide what to build, spot the real ask behind a request, or tell a quick workflow from a custom one.

Turning a rough brief into clear creative direction before anything gets generated. That means knowing motion, VFX, and 3D well enough to say what's achievable now, what needs a custom build, and what's not worth doing, and flagging platform gaps to product and engineering with enough detail to act on.

Responsibilities

  • Turn rough briefs into clear creative direction and defined use cases before work starts.
  • Judge feasibility across motion, VFX, and 3D: what existing workflows handle now, what needs a custom build, what's out of scope.
  • Work with Forward Deployed Engineering to spec out requests that exceed current capability.
  • Set expectations directly with customer creative and marketing teams before production starts.
  • Stay sharp in motion graphics, VFX, and 3D to judge output quality without doing the execution.
  • Surface specific product and engineering gaps to internal teams, drawn from real customer requests.
  • Track tools like Firefly, Runway, and Veo closely enough to adjust direction as they evolve.

Requirements

  • 5+ years in motion, VFX, or 3D production, with real experience setting direction, not just implementing someone else's.
  • Proficiency in After Effects, Cinema4D or Maya, Substance 3D, and generative AI tools, enough to judge craft and feasibility without daily hands-on work.
  • A track record of turning vague requests into clear direction, from an agency, brand team, or client-facing role.
  • Comfortable pushing back on scope and timeline with customers directly.
  • Experience translating creative intent into technical specs with engineering or production teams.
  • A plus: familiar node-based workflows or generative AI pipelines at scale.

Benefits

  • Comprehensive benefits programs
  • Company culture where all employees are empowered to make an impact
