The opportunity: 

We are seeking a dynamic Program Management Lead for Adobe’s Business Platform. This role challenges you to align technical needs with business outcomes in a highly collaborative environment, where how we work is as important as what we deliver. You will be a trusted, strategic partner to cross-functional teams. Owning the execution for critical Adobe outcomes will require you to develop value-based prioritization, clear expectations, transparency, and efficiency. As you oversee the overall health of the portfolio, you will propose trade-offs related to resources, sequencing, and prioritization. You will also have an opportunity for systems thinking as you solve barriers to execution from a platform perspective. With clear communication, you’ll confidently present your team’s insights to executives and discuss technical trade-offs with engineers. We value curiosity, a passion for learning, and a growth mindset. Join us to grow your career and make a significant impact! 

What you'll do: 

  • Collaborative Partnerships: Establish collaborative and productive strategic partnerships with product, design, operations, engineering, and business partners. 

  • Execution: Foster execution in your area and across Adobe by aligning clear expectations, ensuring transparency, and operating efficiently. 

  • Team Management: Elevate the team to establish positive relationships with product and platform teams, develop deep knowledge in the field, and coordinate end-to-end programs. 

  • Program Delivery: Lead technical programs, including defining, prioritizing, and mobilizing cross-functional teams. 

  • Organizational Improvements: Own the outcome in our organization to streamline processes, accelerate execution, and bring tooling efficiencies. 

 

What you need: 

  • 10+ years of experience in software engineering or technical product/program management, including 5 years in a leadership role. 

  • Experience running large-scale company-wide initiatives requiring teamwork across a broad set of partners and participants. 

  • Proven knowledge of portfolio, resource, and process management. 

  • Experience managing a portfolio in an “always on” cloud/services-based organization; driving resiliency and optimizations to ensure a positive customer experience every time. 

  • Adept at working well across organizations and building relationships with a globally diverse workforce. 

This role is pivotal in driving the success of Adobe, ensuring seamless delivery and strategic alignment across all projects and programs.
