You'll operate independently across a fast-moving portfolio, and partner closely with product management, engineering, product marketing, business strategy, and go-to-market teams and with colleagues across Adobe Legal.

You'll be based in San Francisco, CA, San Jose, CA, or Seattle, WA, and will report to the Managing Counsel leading the AI Products team within NextGen Legal.

What You'll Do
  • Serve as lead product counsel for Firefly Enterprise, while providing cross-portfolio support for Firefly Foundry, Adobe Firefly apps, Creative Cloud, and our creative agentic platform.
  • Draft and negotiate enterprise commercial agreements, inbound and outbound technology licenses, API integrations, and GenAI commercial terms.
  • Counsel product and commercial teams on complex enterprise GenAI legal issues, focusing on partner model integrations, training data rights, IP indemnification, model customization, and data security.
  • Develop and deliver targeted legal and compliance training for internal engineering and program management teams.
  • Partner with go-to-market teams to provide strategic legal advice on business strategies, marketing campaigns, and external communications.
  • Contribute to cross-organizational initiatives regarding foundation model development, AI research, and data governance.

  • Self-starter with demonstrated ability to operate autonomously on complex matters and act as a team lead resource for peers.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills!

Strongly preferred

  • Substantive experience counseling on data privacy laws, including GDPR and CCPA, and emerging AI regulations like the EU AI Act.
  • Flexibility to support Firefly product teams on consumer and creator tools, feature development, and open-source software compliance as needed.
  • Experience streamlining or automating legal processes to reduce friction and accelerate product delivery.
  • Experience with media and entertainment customers.
  • Technical background or geek-level curiosity about software and AI/ML development.

Other

  • Flexible, business-friendly collaborator who can think creatively and enjoys working through complex issues.
  • Dedication to high quality and timely legal advice across a range of products and services.
