What you'll do
  • Build and deploy AI-powered apps and agents that automate repeatable sales operations workflows - reducing manual effort and giving the field faster access to the insights and answers they need
  • Identify high-value automation opportunities across the GTM motion - from pipeline reporting and forecast consolidation to intake triage and field enablement - and own end-to-end implementation

  • Use structured problem-solving to drive operational rigor and improve processes across Adobe's sales organization
  • Develop and implement frameworks to measure business health
  • Analyze raw data to find actionable insights, detect risks and opportunities, and recommend solutions that improve sales team performance
  • Work cross-functionally across Finance, Sales, GTM, and other stakeholders to implement strategic initiatives
  • Help scale the Global Central Operations team by improving methodologies, mentoring others, and leading engagements end-to-end
  • Build your network and deepen your knowledge of the Digital Experience Cloud business by collaborating with leaders across Adobe


What you need to succeed
  • MBA or equivalent advanced degree
  • 8+ years of analytical and quantitative problem-solving experience, including research, data analysis, hypothesis development, and executive-ready recommendations
  • Advanced Excel and PowerPoint skills, including financial modeling and exec-facing presentations
  • Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to work effectively across all levels
  • Ability to navigate ambiguity, create structure, and balance big-picture thinking with ground-level detail
  • Clear communicator - written and verbal - on complex topics
  • Curiosity, initiative, and a track record of delivering high-quality work
  • Demonstrated passion for digital experiences and cloud technology


Desirable but not essential
  • Experience at a leading technology company, strategy consulting firm, or economic consulting organization
  • GTM strategy or Sales Operations experience with a practical understanding of execution-level tools and tactics
  • Hands-on experience building AI agents, workflow automations, or internal tools that streamline sales and operations work
  • Deep knowledge of the technology industry, including direct-to-consumer and business-to-business models
