The Opportunity

As the Partner Marketing Leader for Adobe’s Enterprise Business, the role involves driving high-impact joint marketing programs with Global System Integrators (GSIs), cloud providers and strategic ISVs to accelerate customer adoption, revenue growth, and brand influence. This strategic position shapes go-to-market strategies, deepens partner engagement, and aligns Adobe’s marketing initiatives with GSI-led solutions across industries such as financial services, healthcare, retail, and manufacturing.

We are looking for a leader with expertise in enterprise B2B marketing and GSI partnerships that will enable Adobe to strengthen its market position through thought leadership, demand generation, and innovative joint solutions!

  • Track and report marketing performance metrics, showcasing the impact of partner marketing on revenue and pipeline growth.
  • Continuously refine marketing strategies based on performance data, partner insights, and market trends.
What you'll need to succeed

A deep understanding of enterprise B2B marketing, partner ecosystems, and complex sales cycles is essential. The candidate should have a track record of implementing high-impact marketing strategies that drive measurable revenue growth, collaborating with cross-functional teams across sales, marketing, alliances, and product.
