Senior Manager, Global TA Change & Enablement

Adobe•San Jose, CA

About The Position

Adobe's Global Talent Acquisition (GTA) function is undergoing a significant transformation, moving from a regionally fragmented structure to a globally coordinated hub-and-spoke model. This role is crucial in leading this shift, especially as AI is profoundly altering how change and enablement work is performed. The Senior Manager will make the new operating model tangible for impacted individuals, rethink change and enablement at scale in an AI-powered environment, and navigate a complex global matrix to drive systemic change that is both locally resonant and culturally sensitive.

Requirements

10+ years of experience leading enterprise-scale organizational change and transformation in a global, matrixed environment.
Proven ability to influence systemic change without direct authority, navigating complex collaborator landscapes, building coalitions, and moving resistant or ambivalent leaders toward alignment.
Extensive knowledge of change management approaches (e.g., Prosci, Kotter, or similar), with the ability to modify them as needed.
A perspective on how AI is transforming change and enablement and the eagerness to develop a function that embodies that.
Experience ensuring global programs land locally in culturally relevant ways.
Experience building and leading enablement programs at scale, including curriculum development, content development, and adoption measurement.
Strong executive presence and the ability to advise senior leaders on change strategy with clarity and confidence.
A genuine ability to develop talent, mentoring the team on the craft of change and enablement.
Experience in TA, HR, or a business function that provides credibility with recruiting leaders and hiring managers.

Responsibilities

Lead the complete change strategy for GTA’s hub and spoke transition, including impact assessment, partner alignment, adoption tracking, and progress reinforcement.
Enable broad change within a complex, matrixed organization by building coalitions, managing diverse collaborators, and gaining agreement across regions and functions.
Ensure global initiatives are implemented locally in a culturally relevant and market-appropriate manner, avoiding a one-size-fits-all approach while adhering to common standards.
Collaborate with the GTA leadership team and regional TA leaders to translate model decisions into locally embraced change plans.
Challenge and improve how GTAO handles change and enablement, examining content format, development, sharing, and adaptation speed.
Utilize AI tools and methods to develop more responsive, personalized, and scalable enablement, shifting from static training to dynamic, context-sensitive delivery.
Lead the Change & Enablement Pillar, growing the team’s knowledge, mentoring them in change management processes, and building credibility with regional partners.
Take ownership of GTA's change framework, readiness evaluation, and adoption standards, clarifying successful adoption for major projects.
Develop tools to assess adoption and gather consistent insights from regions to the hub for timely adjustments.
Direct the team running GTA’s key enablement programs (TA Advisor and How to Hire), defining central expectations and adoption goals.
Act as an internal change consultant for GTA leadership and Employee Experience, identifying adoption risks early.
Maintain an overview of the change portfolio for all GTAO transformation projects.
