A Brief Overview The Product Manager for Web/AEM Solutions is responsible for defining product features, holding platform standards, and ensuring that every experience delivered on our website system—whether uniform or tailored—meets institutional quality, compliance, and design-system expectations. The role is accountable for the ongoing stewardship of how content and features are produced, maintained, and governed within Adobe Experience Manager (AEM). The Product Manager ensures that both repeatable (uniform) work and audience-specific (tailored) work follow established system patterns, component standards, and governance frameworks—intervening when work drifts, and evolving standards when the system must grow. This role ensures that what we build and what we maintain on our website system meets the same standard—structurally sound, compliant, efficient, and true to the design system—whether its a repeatable template or a tailored experience. It serves as the accountable steward of how work is delivered within the website system, concentrating on skill areas including product requirements definition, technical communication, compliance and data privacy application, and system stewardship. The ideal candidate brings a strong background in AEM platform management with hands on experience, a deep understanding of design systems and component-based architecture, and experience holding governance standards across distributed teams. This is a role for someone who sees stewardship as equally important as innovation—who can balance technical feasibility, user-centric design, and institutional discipline to ensure our website system remains coherent, compliant, and scalable as both uniform and tailored work continue to grow. Improves the digital presence and discoverability of content on all web properties. Provides actionable and strategic insights to empower Marketing and stakeholder teams to make informed, strategic marketing and business decisions for all web entities for Stanford Health Care.
