Director, Sales Operations

Director of Sales Operations

We're looking for a Director of Sales Operations to help scale, refine, and elevate our Sales organization. This role reports directly to the VP of Revenue Operations and will serve as a key partner in strengthening how the Sales function operates as we continue to grow and prepare for deeper evolution within Adobe.

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who understands what great looks like and knows how to evolve an existing foundation into a more mature, predictable, and high-performing operating model. You will build on what is already in place by sharpening processes, improving forecasting rigor, and introducing the structure needed to operate effectively at greater scale and complexity.

This is an opportunity to uplevel an existing Sales Operations function, drive consistency and accountability across the funnel, and ensure the organization is positioned to integrate seamlessly into a broader, more sophisticated operating environment.

Drive Insight and Performance

• Own and elevate forecast methodology, accuracy, and accountability across Sales leadership
• Improve pipeline visibility and inspection to drive higher-quality forecasting and execution
• Partner with Analytics teams to develop and enhance dashboards, reporting, and analytics to support faster, more confident decision-making
• Translate data into clear, actionable insights that influence Sales and executive leadership
• Identify opportunities to increase productivity, efficiency, and pipeline quality

Strategic Business Partnership

• Act as a trusted advisor to Sales leadership, helping guide decision-making with data and structure
• Lead and support planning cycles, including annual planning, quota setting, capacity modeling, and territory design
• Serve as a key partner in shaping sales compensation strategy, leveraging data and performance insights to influence plan design, incentives, and alignment to company goals
• Partner on strategic initiatives such as new market expansion, GTM evolution, and integration planning
• Bring clarity and alignment to cross-functional initiatives that span Sales, Finance, and Customer Success

Systems and Tools Design

• Optimize the existing Sales tech stack, including CRM and sales engagement tools, to support scale and consistency
• Partner closely with IT and cross-functional teams to prepare systems and processes for integration with Adobe
• Evaluate and implement enhancements that improve seller productivity and operational visibility

Cross-Functional Alignment & Teambuilding

• Strengthen alignment with Customer Success, Product, and Finance across the full revenue lifecycle
• Align on funnel definitions, handoffs, shared metrics, and revenue goals

• Foster a culture of accountability, ownership, and continuous improvement
