Job description

The Opportunity

Bridgeway is Adobe's agentic marketing partner for small businesses and solopreneurs-photographers, estheticians, fitness coaches, bakers, contractors-the people running a business with no marketing team behind them. We're building software that acts like a great marketing hire, not another tool to learn. We are looking for a Principal Product Manager who can help define what an AI-native marketing partner should become.

What Great Looks Like

A product builder who thrives in ambiguity, moves quickly, and takes responsibility for outcomes-not just requirements, roadmaps, or launches.

We look for people who have shipped. Take products from an unclear customer problem to something real, useful, and adopted. Know how to develop a strong point of view without becoming attached to your first answer.

Everyone on our team operates across three lenses: customer, product, and execution.

• Treat the product like it is your business.
• Spend time with customers, identify what they are struggling to articulate, and turn those insights into products that feel remarkably simple.
• Know what should be built, what should not be built, and what needs to be learned first. Reduce complex systems and emerging AI capabilities into experiences customers immediately understand.
• Go beyond adding AI to traditional software. Design products around agents that can reason, take initiative, coordinate work, learn from feedback, and earn the trust to act on a customer's behalf.
• Move fluidly between strategy, prototyping, customer conversations, data analysis, writing, and delivery. Use AI tools to compress the distance between an idea and something customers can experience.
• Shape how Bridgeway understands a business, develops strategies, proposes campaigns, coordinates specialized agents, completes work, and earns permission to act more autonomously.
• Bring clarity to product reviews, improve how the team makes decisions, and create lightweight systems that increase velocity without introducing unnecessary process.
• Build strong relationships across product, design, engineering, legal, marketing, and executive teams while protecting the autonomy and speed required for an incubation-stage product.

What Is Needed to Succeed

• Significant experience building and scaling customer-facing software, with a track record of taking products from early discovery through launch, adoption, and iteration.
• Hands-on experience building AI products or a demonstrated ability to quickly understand LLMs, agents, memory systems, evaluations, orchestration, and the trade-offs involved in deploying them responsibly.
• Ability to define meaningful success metrics, interpret incomplete data, design experiments, and distinguish real customer value from superficial engagement.
• Willingness to interview customers, write product copy, build prototypes, inspect product behavior, analyze usage, and work directly with designers and engineers throughout execution.
