This is a chance for an experienced operational leader to make a significant contribution to Adobe’s most prominent innovation projects.

Ideal candidate for this position:

• Embodies Adobe’s “Own the Outcome” core value to deliver innovative Generative AI capabilities in one of Adobe’s fastest growing businesses.

• Understand the entire solution, its dependencies, and impacts to ensure smooth product delivery at every achievement.
• Maintain a deep end-to-end understanding of strategies involved in early feature market fit identification.
• Exceptional communication and presentation abilities tailored to technical and non-technical audiences.
• Keep contributing teams unblocked by rapidly moving to resolve any issues that have the potential to impact the overall schedule.
• Question all teams thoroughly to address assumptions and gaps that arise when numerous teams contribute to a complex plan.
• Define and drive the processes the GenAI Initiative will use to coordinate, communicate, and resolve cross-team issues.
• Facilitate cross-team collaboration and coordination to enhance overall project outcomes.
• Demonstrated ability to multitask, adapt quickly to shifting priorities, and maintain attention to detail under pressure.
• Regularly inspect what is going well and what is not in order to adapt the process.
• Establish an engaged group of leaders from collaborating teams to help implement the overall plan.

What you will need to succeed:

• Insatiable curiosity. You recognize which issues are critical and don’t let them go until they are solved. You ask lots of probing questions and don’t stop until you are satisfied that all the bases are covered. You love finding out how things work and identifying the gaps that naturally occur between teams in fast-moving and complex projects.
• Your colleagues seek you out as a source of truth for your deep knowledge and connections.
• A relentless positive attitude that rubs off on those around you. Gaps and issues WILL occur, and it is far less important to affix responsibility than it is for us to remedy the situation. As a team, we uncover those gaps, make sure they get accounted for, and do so with a positive, can-do attitude.
• You are not afraid of what you don’t already know. You actively tackle issues to unblock teams for which you may not have any prior context. You excel at quickly finding out who you need to talk to across all levels of Adobe’s org structure, seeking them out, and driving resolution.
• Acting quickly and holding each other accountable for timely decisions is vital on our team. We prioritize using available information rather than aiming for a perfect understanding of the problem.
• We don’t limit our role to just our team. Sometimes, we need to delve into the nitty-gritty details. We have a knack for doing this seamlessly, building partnerships with customers, and empowering each team to succeed.
• We eagerly color outside the lines! Being a great Program Manager often demands dealing with things that are not part of this job description. We excel at developing new and creative approaches to solve whatever issues come up.
