Dir, Enterprise Sales GenStudio Performance Marketing

Adobe GenStudio is a generative AI-first product that lets marketing teams quickly plan, create, manage, activate across apps and publishers, and measure on-brand content. Be on the forefront of Generative AI as we take GenStudio to market.


The GenStudio COE team drives Adobe's GenStudio business in two key areas. First, as we bring the product to market the team will work with product, product marketing, the sales teams and customers to help shape the current and future direction of Adobe GenStudio. Second, the COE members will help establish a successful pre-sales motion and directly sell GenStudio to customers in conjunction with the Adobe enterprise selling teams. The GenStudio team will be operating in a fast-changing environment. We plan to iterate on the product quickly in response to the needs of customers and the COE team will be responsible for uncovering those needs. The COE leader should be comfortable with this fast-paced, startup like environment where quickly evolving the business will be required. The COE leadership team will work closely with Expert Solutions Consulting, Account Directors, AE's, Product Specialists, Product Marketing, and Sales Enablement leadership to ensure we complete our goals. As GenStudio matures, this team will transition into a more traditional Product Specialist selling group with set accounts and quota responsibilities.


We are seeking an experienced enterprise sales leader who has a track record of leadership success. Your team of COE/ Product Specialists will drive new bookings help ensure value realization for our customers. If you are a proven leader, passionate about Generative AI, have an entrepreneurial spirit and are excited by market leading customers, we want to hear from you.


This role requires a seasoned leader who thrives in ambiguity, brings strong organizational leadership skills, has a builder mentality, and excels at connecting product relevance to executive business outcomes. You'll build scalable frameworks, coach managers and sellers, and represent GenStudio in key strategic discussions across Adobe's GTM, Product, Engineering, and Strategy organizations.
