About The Position

We’re hiring a Sourcing Manager to lead a team responsible for how hiring gets done across Adobe’s non-technical organizations. This is a high-impact role focused on surfacing the right talent early and consistently moving searches forward. You’ll lead sourcing across Corporate Functions, Sales, Marketing, and Design teams. You will work alongside Talent Partners and business leaders to influence hiring decisions, not merely activity. A big part of the role is judgment: knowing when a search is set up to succeed, stepping in early when it’s not, and keeping the team passionate about work that moves hiring forward.

Ability to build and develop high-performing sourcing teams with a focus on mentoring, accountability, and elevating the quality bar.
Experience managing RPO or external sourcing partnerships with clear accountability for performance and quality.
Interest in evolving sourcing practices, including the use of AI and new technologies to improve efficiency and experience.

Responsibilities

Lead, mentor, and develop a team of strategic sourcers, crafting an environment where individuals grow into trusted talent advisors who influence hiring outcomes.
Run all aspects of sourcing operations, including capacity planning, and req coverage, ensuring consistent execution and early intervention when searches are off track.
Collaborate with Talent Partners and TA leadership to develop proactive sourcing strategies that match business priorities.
Emphasize building high-quality pipelines in advance of demand.
Ensure strong intake and role clarity before searches begin and maintain a consistent quality bar through calibration and clear handoffs between sourcing and recruiting.
Manage the RPO partnership, including allocation, performance oversight, and quality standards, ensuring alignment with Adobe’s expectations for candidate experience and outcomes.
Translate talent market insights into practical direction on location strategy, compensation, and hiring timelines to influence and improve business decisions.
Own sourcing performance and funnel health, using data daily to identify gaps, adjust strategy, and influence outcomes.
Champion effective use of sourcing tools and technologies, including LinkedIn, CRM platforms, and AI-enabled solutions.
