At Adobe, we believe excellence is built through collaboration, innovation, and empowering people to thrive. We're looking for a Transformational Pipeline Programs Manager, Americas to help shape and drive our global enterprise sales strategy, business development initiatives, and enablement programs.

In this role, you’ll drive key efforts that strengthen the transformational pipeline and future of our sales organization, working alongside leaders across Sales and Operations. You'll help foster a high-performance, growth-focused culture around establishing, finessing, and operationalizing SPP pipeline identification programs. This role is responsible for driving all Phase Zero activities leading up to Nurture or Activate onboarding.

The Strategic Partnership Program (SPP) is an innovative, global program with a singular mission and commitment: to drive long-term transformational business success for our customers and for Adobe. This program drives proven cross-functional frameworks focused on providing Adobe’s customers with the best solutions, partnerships, and paths to transformative outcomes. We win as a team. The perfect candidate values people, excels in program execution, demonstrates leadership, collaborates well with others, and strives for continuous improvement.

What You’ll Do

· Partner closely with SPP AMER leadership, other AMER region leaders, Sales Operations, and Partners to identify and build the next transformational accounts and opportunities aligned with ambitious growth commitments.

· Focus on scaling high-impact pipeline-generating, deal-progressing, and operational best practice-codifying programs. Ensure 4-rolling-quarter pipeline coverage focused on sales stages 1-3. This includes ongoing pipeline prioritization, monitoring, and optimization.

· Develop and drive repeatable Phase Zero motion for SPP AMER, including programmatic synthesis of all Adobe pipeline creation sources (partner co-create, Catalyst, Exec-in-Residence, account planning, Greenfield must-win, etc.) for creation of $5M+ net new pipeline.

· Program manage transformation-specific pipeline generation motions, such as Project EPIC, Foundry, etc. Based on regional maturity.

· Evolve and support more strategic account planning initiatives with the Field, alongside existing programs like Catalyst and IAB

· Define clear program outcomes and success measures, and guide initiatives from planning through delivery

· Act as a connector—facilitating alignment and shared understanding between cross-functional teams. This involves ongoing communication and teamwork with your fellow regional SPP Pipeline counterparts to improve global efficiencies and standard methodologies. Also includes managing relationship with Sales Ops to ensure SPP is receiving the right inputs in terms of data, reports, and field programs.

· This role will be measured both on how much Stage 2+ $5M+ pipeline is identified, as well as maintaining ongoing pipeline creation programs.

What You’ll Need to Succeed

· A high-performance self-starter and people leader with experience developing pipeline and go-to-market programs

· Ability to analyze program effectiveness and optimize with an eye toward efficiency and innovation, in a fast-paced, fast-turnaround environment

· Proven leadership and experience working across functional groups ensuring alignment of process driving the defined business strategy

· Strong sense of ownership and flexible and resilient under pressure

· Outspoken and creative problem solver with a diplomatic approach who operates at the highest level of integrity

· Experience designing or supporting programs in areas such as sales strategy, enablement, business development, or services

· Strong communication and collaboration skills, including at all levels with a collaborative approach with the ability to build positive relationships across diverse teams and time zones

· Confidence navigating complexity, and the capability to break down big ideas into clear, actionable steps

· Curiosity, adaptability, and a desire to learn—especially in fast paced environments

· Comfortable using metrics and data to guide decisions, measure outcomes, and iterate for improvement, all while managing various collaborator perspectives
