Principal, Global Central Sales Strategy and Operations

$135.4k - $264.8k

Adobe

Global Central Sales Strategy And Operations Lead

The Global Central Sales Strategy and Operations team defines and executes strategy supporting Adobe's enterprise sales organization. Reporting to the Head of Global Central Sales Strategy and Operations, you will lead initiatives focused on go-to-market strategy, analytics, and operations across the entire Experience Cloud business.

A successful team member thinks analytically and turns data into actionable impact. You will serve as a trusted business advisor to our field organizations, driving operational rigor, go-to-market planning, and complex data analysis to uncover root causes. The ideal candidate combines sharp problem-solving with the verbal and written communication skills to influence executive leaders.

What You'll Do

  • Build and deploy AI-powered apps and agents that automate repeatable sales operations workflows reducing manual effort and giving the field faster access to the insights and answers they need
  • Identify high-value automation opportunities across the GTM motion from pipeline reporting and forecast consolidation to intake triage and field enablement and own end-to-end implementation
  • Operate at the frontier of AI-augmented GTM strategy, piloting new use cases, evaluating emerging tooling, and establishing best practices the broader Global Central Operations team can scale
  • Use structured problem-solving to drive operational rigor and improve processes across Adobe's sales organization
  • Develop and implement frameworks to measure business health
  • Analyze raw data to find actionable insights, detect risks and opportunities, and recommend solutions that improve sales team performance
  • Work cross-functionally across Finance, Sales, GTM, and other stakeholders to implement strategic initiatives
  • Help scale the Global Central Operations team by improving methodologies, mentoring others, and leading engagements end-to-end
  • Build your network and deepen your knowledge of the Digital Experience Cloud business by collaborating with leaders across Adobe

What You Need To Succeed

  • MBA or equivalent advanced degree
  • 8+ years of analytical and quantitative problem-solving experience, including research, data analysis, hypothesis development, and executive-ready recommendations
  • Advanced Excel and PowerPoint skills, including financial modeling and exec-facing presentations
  • Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to work effectively across all levels
  • Ability to navigate ambiguity, create structure, and balance big-picture thinking with ground-level detail
  • Clear communicator written and verbal on complex topics
  • Curiosity, initiative, and a track record of delivering high-quality work
  • Demonstrated passion for digital experiences and cloud technology

Desirable But Not Essential

  • Experience at a leading technology company, strategy consulting firm, or economic consulting organization
  • GTM strategy or Sales Operations experience with a practical understanding of execution-level tools and tactics
  • Hands-on experience building AI agents, workflow automations, or internal tools that streamline sales and operations work
  • Deep knowledge of the technology industry, including direct-to-consumer and business-to-business models

Expected Pay Range:

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 $135,400 -- $264,800 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.

In California, the pay range for this position is $182,900 - $264,800

In New York, the pay range for this position is $182,900 - $264,800

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.
