Full Job Description
Our Company

Changing the world through digital experiences is what Adobe's all about. We give everyone-from emerging artists to global brands-everything they need to design and deliver exceptional digital experiences! We're passionate about empowering people to create beautiful and powerful images, videos, and apps, and transform how companies interact with customers across every screen.

We're on a mission to hire the very best and are committed to creating exceptional employee experiences where everyone is respected and has access to equal opportunity. We realize that new ideas can come from everywhere in the organization, and we know the next big idea could be yours!

The Opportunity

The Corporate Strategy team works closely with Adobe's top executives and our three business units (the Creative Cloud, Document Cloud and Experience Cloud) to ensure that the company stays on its fast growth trajectory. The team has played an active role in some of Adobe's boldest and most strategic decisions. For example, the move to the cloud and the creation of our Customer Experience category. We articulate and activate the company's future vision to ensure that Adobe stays on a fast growth trajectory. Today, Adobe is at the forefront of digital experiences worldwide. Adobe gives creatives everything they need to design amazing new content, enable global enterprises in their digital transformation and create experience businesses. This strategy has translated into exceptional financial performance and stock price appreciation even within the Tech sector!

This new leader will join a highly entrepreneurial team, including alumni from top management consulting firms and professionals in digital media and marketing. We exclusively focus on hacking Adobe's long-term growth! The incumbent will be responsible for overseeing multiple project teams and managing the relationship with several top executives across the company, and will gradually specialize in one of Adobe's three clouds (e.g., joining the extended staff of Adobe's EVP and GM for the Digital Experience business unit). This position provides unparalleled senior executive exposure, and is often the avenue to unique operational and general management roles at Adobe.

What you'll need to succeed

  • 6-8+ years of experience at a top management consulting firm or within an equivalent corporate strategy group. This experience must include overseeing complex strategy projects
  • 15+ years of total professional experience with growing levels of responsibility; proven track record of leading transformational change
  • Top undergraduate and Master's degrees (MBA preferred) or equivalent work experience
  • Experience operating in an enterprise SaaS environment; prior understanding of software industry, digital marketing or digital media highly desired
  • Strong analytical skills and attention to detail, while staying focused on the big picture
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills; strong presence in front of senior executives
  • Creative problem solver with a bias for action
  • Relentless but collaborative - ensuring that debates and discussions not only lead to good outcomes for all involved, but also set a positive tone for cross-functional teams
