The lead strategist mentors other strategists, providing guidance to project teams for measurable business impact. This individual will act as a trusted advisor to executives, a connector across business and technology teams, and a champion for customer success. They must be highly adaptable, a self-starter, and deeply curious—asking the right questions when faced with gaps and tapping into expertise across Adobe and customer organizations to drive solutions.

That knowledge will be used to:

• Lead high-impact consulting engagements, working with C-suite and senior executives to drive customer experience innovation, technology adoption, and organizational change.
• Develop and implement strategic roadmaps that align marketing, data, customer experience, and technology ecosystems, ensuring enterprises realize the full value of Adobe solutions.
• Navigate enterprise environments, using deep organizational awareness and tact to align cross-functional teams and ensure executional success.
• Facilitate executive conversations, craft long-term vision, and influence customers across marketing, IT, product, and analytics teams.
• Guide organizations through organization change, helping them adopt data-driven decision-making, automation, and real-time personalization to drive business outcomes.
• Mentor internal teams, fostering a high-performance environment and continuously improving standard engagement processes.
• Elevate the Strategy team by chipping in to Adobe’s thought leadership, publishing insights, speaking at industry events, and influencing internal standard methodologies.
• Balance strategic vision with executional excellence, ensuring Adobe’s strategies translate into measurable results and sustained customer success.

• Deep expertise in Adobe Experience Cloud solutions, including real-time personalization, process automation, and data-driven decision-making.
