Greenfield has been at Playwrights Horizons since 2007, first with the title of literary manager and then as director of new play development. He was instrumental in launching the theatre's Resident Company Program.

“I’m deeply moved by the invitation to extend my relationship with a company and artistic director who I consider unparalleled in their life-long commitment to writers and their work," said Greenfield. "We’re in the middle of a great era in American playwriting."

Artistic director Tim Sanford commented, “Since joining Playwrights Horizons in 2007, Adam has opened doors to a wealth of new writers...His engagement with new work is fervent, discerning and positive, and writers adore him because of his palpable love for his work and his fierce advocacy of their efforts. By promoting him to associate artistic director, we acknowledge his extraordinary contributions to our organization and open the door for him to make an even greater impact in the future.”

In addition to Greenfield’s promotion, current associate literary manager Sarah Lunnie has been named literary manager.
