Senior Manager, Strategy & Execution

Adobe•San Jose, CA

4d•$110,000 - $202,250

About The Position

Joining a top-performing team backing the President of Adobe’s Creativity and Productivity business presents an exceptional opportunity to collaborate with executives and senior leaders driving AI transformation and strategic operations across the organization. This is a high-visibility role at the intersection of two mandates. It involves scaling Adobe’s AI enablement program and serving as a trusted partner on central initiatives supporting the Office of the President of Creativity and Productivity. You will be the person who turns ambiguous, high-stakes priorities into structured, delivered outcomes. One week you may be standing up the operating model for an AI adoption cohort; the next, building an executive narrative for a President-level review or unblocking a cross-functional initiative that has stalled. You move fluidly between strategy and execution, and you make the leaders around you faster and sharper. The ideal candidate combines advanced program management skills with strong business intuition and a genuine enthusiasm for applied AI. You actively use AI to streamline your own workflows, you are always learning what is newly possible, and you enjoy teaching and enabling others to work the same way. You are comfortable working under tight timelines, building relationships effortlessly, navigating matrixed organizations with ease, and consistently converting complexity into results.
