Senior Manager, Adversarial Fraud Testing - Global Consumer Trust

Builds and leads Adobe's Adversarial Fraud Testing function within Global Consumer Trust. Proactively simulates and recreates real-world fraud and abuse attacks against Adobe's externally facing products and fraud controls to identify weaknesses and validate defenses.

Partners across Fraud Prevention, Product, Engineering, Security, and other organizations to translate adversarial findings into stronger controls, product improvements, and systemic risk reduction. Establishes repeatable testing methodologies and ensures remediation is validated through ongoing adversarial testing.

What you'll do

• Build and lead Adobe's Adversarial Fraud Testing function within Global Consumer Trust, proactively testing how fraudsters and other bad actors may exploit Adobe's products, services, and fraud controls.

• Develop an adversarial testing strategy and methodology that safely simulates real-world fraud and abuse across customer journeys, APIs, account creation, payments, entitlements, and other externally facing product experiences.

• Lead the recreation of significant fraud attacks to understand how controls were bypassed, identify weaknesses, and determine opportunities to strengthen Adobe's defenses.

• Partner with Fraud Prevention, Product, Engineering, Security, and other teams to design adversarial tests, evaluate controls, and prioritize remediation of identified gaps.

• Build repeatable testing capabilities using automation, APIs, scripting, and other technical approaches to simulate fraud and abuse at scale.

• Validate new and existing fraud controls by testing whether mitigations effectively disrupt attack paths and reduce opportunities for circumvention.

• Establish clear processes for documenting findings, assessing risk, communicating recommendations, and tracking remediation through completion and retesting.

• Identify patterns across adversarial tests and real-world incidents to surface systemic weaknesses and influence Adobe's fraud prevention strategy and product roadmaps.

• Build and develop a high-performing team with the technical, fraud, and adversarial expertise needed to anticipate and reproduce evolving attack techniques.
