INTRODUCTION
Adobe Design is looking for a rare designer: a visionary, super senior Principal who can help shape how the world's leading organizations work with documents every day.
You will lead and shape design strategy across a growing ecosystem of Adobe Acrobat surfaces, partnerships, and enterprise environments, while bringing the creative power of Adobe Express to everyday knowledge workers around the world. Document Cloud is Adobe's fastest growing cloud, reaching over 650 million monthly active users through products including Acrobat, Sign, Analyzer, and Scan. Our legacy of innovation speaks for itself: TIME's Best Invention two years running, and a Fast Company top 10 spot in Applied AI for 2026.
This is not a role for someone who needs the path clear before they start moving. It is for a designer who operates at the highest level of craft and strategy, thrives in ambiguity, brings rigor to big ideas, and can hold complex systems and the human moment at the same time.
If you are ready to influence how the world works at scale, and leave something lasting behind, we would love to meet you.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Lead the creation of expert-level concepts for future enterprise document workflows using generative AI.
Develop and drive long-term strategies, aligning them with user needs and business objectives.
Visualize ideas through sketches, storyboards, high-fidelity mockups, and interactive prototypes.
Actively research and develop new techniques using AI development tools like Cursor, Replit, and Claude Code.
Customer Centricity
Use customer feedback, research, and data to uncover insights and inform decisions.
Bring genuine empathy to every experience, from IT administrators to power users to first-time adopters.
Uphold inclusive, accessible, and respectful development practices.
Relationships, Community, and People
Invest in relationships with partners, collaborators, and users as a core part of your process.
Facilitate design sprints and collaborate closely with product managers, engineers, researchers, and creators.
Develop a clear perspective by listening and observing, turning insights into action.
Present and develop communication strategies and concepts for senior executives and partners.
Mentor and foster an inclusive environment that empowers designers to innovate.
Co-define roadmaps and go-to-market strategy with Document Cloud PMs and PMMs, ensuring design influences product direction from inception.
Translate Adobe's broader AI strategy into clear, distinctive document experiences tailored for enterprise personas in legal, finance, HR, and operations.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
Must-haves:
- Proven background in developing solutions for enterprise software products.
- A related degree or 8+ years of equivalent experience in product development.
- Demonstrated UX and visual build excellence while creating, evangelizing and shipping strategic initiatives.
- Demonstrated ability to build at the ecosystem level.
- Customer-centric build process.
- Curiosity about AI-powered tools for building and development.
- Experience working in close partnership with product management, engineering, and research.
- Confidence presenting at all organizational levels and superb storytelling skills when presenting to the C-suite.
- Proficiency with Figma and modern prototyping tools.
Nice-to-haves:
- Deep experience working with generative AI-first experiences, LLM-based features, copilots, or agentic flows. Ideally, including document-related tools and/or experience at a SaaS AI native startup.
- Experience developing solutions for user acquisition, onboarding, or adoption within enterprise settings.
- Prior experience in creative agencies or enterprise teams using lean startup methodologies.
- Experience uniting a suite of disparate experiences into a cohesive, high-quality user journey.
Preferred Accessibility Design Skills:
- Experience designing accessible and inclusive interfaces for people with disabilities.
- Familiarity with WCAG standards and testing for accessibility compliance.
- Certifications such as CPACC, WAS, CPWA, or ADS from IAAP are a plus.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Product Designer
Frame your portfolio around specialty occupation
USCIS evaluates whether your role requires a theoretical design degree, not just skills. Annotate portfolio case studies to show how your HCI or interaction design education directly drove your decisions, not just your outcomes.
Target employers with active LCA filing history
Use Migrate Mate to filter Product Designer roles by employers who have filed Labor Condition Applications for design-specific SOC codes, so you're applying where visa sponsorship infrastructure already exists.
Check prevailing wage before negotiating your offer
Run the OFLC Wage Search using SOC code 27-1021 and your target metro area before any salary discussion. Your employer's LCA must certify at least the prevailing wage, and negotiating below it creates a compliance problem at filing.
Verify your role maps to the right SOC code
Product Designer duties can fall under multiple SOC codes depending on your focus. Pull the O*NET profile for 27-1021 and confirm your actual job tasks align, since a mismatched code on the LCA can trigger a Request for Evidence.
Time your application around the cap registration window
H-1B cap registration opens each March for an October 1 start date. If your offer comes outside that window, ask your employer whether the role qualifies for a cap-exempt institution or whether a cap-gap extension covers your OPT period.
Clarify who owns filing fees before accepting the offer
USCIS prohibits employers from passing certain H-1B filing fees to you. Confirm in writing which fees your employer covers before signing, particularly for premium processing if a faster decision is important to your start date.
H-1B Visa Product Designer: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Product Designer role qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
Yes, provided the position requires at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field such as industrial design, human-computer interaction, or interaction design. Job postings that list a degree as preferred rather than required weaken the specialty occupation argument. Review the job description carefully and confirm the requirement is explicit before your employer files the LCA.
Which employers actually sponsor H-1B visas for Product Designers?
Technology companies, enterprise software firms, and large financial institutions sponsor the most Product Designer H-1B petitions. Smaller startups sponsor less frequently, not because they're unwilling, but because they often lack in-house immigration counsel. Browse Migrate Mate to find Product Designer openings filtered by employers with verified H-1B filing history for design roles specifically.
Can I transfer my H-1B to a new Product Designer role mid-employment?
Yes. H-1B portability lets you start working for a new employer as soon as the transfer petition is received by USCIS, as long as your previous status was lawful and the petition is non-frivolous. Your new employer must file a new I-129 and LCA. You don't need to wait for approval before starting, but the role must still qualify as a specialty occupation.
What happens to my H-1B if I'm laid off from a Product Designer position?
You have a 60-day grace period after losing your H-1B employment to find a new sponsoring employer, file a change of status, or depart the U.S. The 60-day window starts the day your employment ends, not when the layoff is announced. Filing an H-1B transfer petition before the grace period expires allows you to maintain lawful status while USCIS adjudicates the new petition.
Does a contractor or freelance Product Designer arrangement qualify for H-1B sponsorship?
Only if a single employer controls your work and bears an employer-employee relationship as USCIS defines it. Independent contractor arrangements where you set your own hours and work for multiple clients simultaneously don't meet the employer-employee test. If you're placed at a client site through a staffing agency, the agency is your H-1B petitioner, but USCIS scrutinizes third-party placement petitions for specialty occupation evidence more closely.
