The Opportunity

The Sales Strategy, Operations, and Enablement (SOE) organization is the established engine that runs Adobe's Enterprise Field organization, enabling predictable revenue growth and maximizing sales team productivity. This is a global team of over 500 professionals across critical areas including go-to-market strategy, sales operations, enablement, compensation, and systems management.

Bring your strategic and analytical expertise to lead planning, performance analysis, and strategic initiatives across our Enterprise Sales organization. This role is instrumental in shaping our go-to-market strategy, driving data-informed decisions, and enabling scalable growth. You will partner closely with senior leaders across Sales, Finance, Marketing, and Operations to develop strategic plans, deliver actionable insights, and support high-impact initiatives that improve sales effectiveness and business performance. This is a high-visibility role requiring a blend of strategic acumen, analytical depth, and cross-functional leadership.

What You Will Do

  • Own the annual and quarterly planning processes for Enterprise Sales, including target setting, resource allocation, and performance forecasting.
  • Deliver actionable insights through deep analysis of sales performance, pipeline trends, customer segmentation, and market dynamics.
  • Define and track key performance indicators (KPIs) to assess sales effectiveness and identify areas for improvement.
  • Develop and present strategic recommendations and performance updates to senior leadership and executive stakeholders.
  • Partner with Sales, Finance, Marketing, and Operations to align planning and analytics with broader business goals.
  • Provide analytical and strategic support for key initiatives such as territory design, coverage models, and account prioritization.
  • Identify and implement improvements in planning and reporting processes to increase efficiency, accuracy, and scalability.

What You'll Need To Succeed

  • 12+ years of experience in strategic planning, business analytics, or sales operations, preferably in a global B2B tech or SaaS environment.
  • Proven ability to lead planning and analytics functions in a complex, matrixed organization.
  • Strong business acumen and understanding of enterprise sales models and go-to-market strategies.
  • Advanced analytical skills with proficiency in tools such as Excel, Tableau, Salesforce, and SQL; experience with planning platforms like Anaplan is a plus.
  • Strong analytical skills and attention to detail, while staying focused on the big picture.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills; strong presence in front of senior executives.
  • A strategic mindset with the ability to translate data into actionable business insights.
  • A passion for driving clarity, alignment, and performance across sales teams.
  • Our compensation reflects the cost of labor across several U.S. geographic markets, and we pay differently based on those defined markets. The U.S. pay range for this position is $172,000 $389,600 annually. Pay within this range varies by work location and may also depend on job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for the job location during the hiring process.

    At Adobe, for sales roles starting salaries are expressed as total target compensation (TTC = base + commission), and short-term incentives are in the form of sales commission plans. Non-sales roles starting salaries are expressed as base salary and short-term incentives are in the form of the Annual Incentive Plan (AIP).

    In addition, certain roles may be eligible for long-term incentives in the form of a new hire equity award.

    Adobe will consider qualified applicants with arrest or conviction records for employment in accordance with state and local laws and "fair chance" ordinances.

    If this role is open to hiring in Colorado, the application window will remain open until at least the date and time stated above in Pacific Time, in compliance with Colorado pay transparency regulations. If this role does not have Colorado listed as a hiring location, no specific application window applies, and the posting may close at any time based on hiring needs.
