About the C&P COE

The Consumer & Productivity (C&P) Center of Excellence builds and scales horizontal capabilities that power go-to-market (GTM) execution across routes-to-market (RTMs) and drive consistent, measurable business outcomes. Our charter spans:

• Disciplined execution and governance
• A unified data and AI-first BI platform
• RTM analytics and AI-driven decision support & planning
• Modern enablement tools and operations
• Frictionless sales experience technology
• A strong PMO-led business cadence focused on execution and continuous improvement

Our immediate B2B focus spans Channel (30K+ global partners), Corporate, Education, and ICX, with the operating model designed to extend to Digital and Consumer as the COE matures.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a strategic, outcome-focused Senior Manager of Program and Change Management to join the C&P COE in Noida. In this role, you will lead the PMO-led business cadence for the COE and drive high-impact, cross-functional programs that scale horizontal GTM capabilities across Channel, Corporate, Education, and ICX — anchoring every program in clear business outcomes and ensuring we realize the full value of our strategic intent.

You will own a portfolio of complex, interdependent programs in a matrixed, global environment, exercising in-depth knowledge of Adobe’s organizational objectives to select the right methods, techniques, and evaluation criteria for obtaining results. You will set the one-year program strategy and objectives for the COE, delegate assignments to program leads and cross-functional partners, and bring disciplined change management to global rollouts of new tools, processes, and operating models.

This role is ideal for a seasoned program and change leader who is comfortable navigating ambiguity, acts as a transformation, change agent, and applies an agile, adaptable approach to planning and execution while bringing strong program management fundamentals (structure, governance, and operational rigor) to a global function.

Key Responsibilities

Program Strategy & PMO Leadership

• Establish the program management strategy and one-year objectives for the C&P COE; anchor every program in clear business outcomes and ensure realization of strategic intent.
• Operate the COE’s PMO-led business cadence — planning rhythms, governance forums, and operating reviews — with the right frameworks and mechanisms for accountability, transparency, and progress tracking.
• Lead a portfolio of cross-functional programs spanning data & BI, RTM analytics, enablement tools, and sales experience technology, ensuring alignment to business priorities, timelines, and success metrics.
• Drive timely, effective cross-functional decision-making; resolve risks and dependencies while enabling forward momentum.
• Measure and report on program performance using KPIs, ROI models, and qualitative insights to inform leadership and drive continuous improvement.
• Translate enterprise GTM strategy into actionable program plans, milestones, and deliverables, balancing structure with the adaptability required in a fast-moving global environment.

Change Management & Adoption

• Lead change management for global C&P initiatives — including stakeholder analysis, communications, enablement, readiness assessments, and adoption tracking — ensuring sellers, partners, and operations teams are ready for new processes, tools, and operating models.
• Bring clarity to ambiguous problems and drive adoption of new capabilities across Channel, Corporate, Education, and ICX, with a model designed to extend to Digital and Consumer as the COE matures.
• Partner with RTM leaders, enablement, and field operations to tailor change interventions to each route-to-market while maintaining global consistency.

Cross-Functional Partnership & Influence

• Partner with senior leaders across Sales, Marketing, GTM Operations, Finance, IT, and Data & Analytics to shape program scope, secure alignment, and unlock decisions.
• Influence senior management and executives by framing trade-offs, surfacing risks, and recommending strategic paths forward grounded in data and business context.
• Collaborate across global hubs and time zones to build shared accountability and momentum on cross-regional, cross-RTM initiatives.

Execution, Governance & Delivery

• Apply an agile, outcomes-driven approach to planning and execution, adjusting plans as priorities and business needs evolve.
• Develop and maintain program roadmaps, timelines, and resource plans that balance structure with flexibility across multiple workstreams.
• Proactively identify risks, dependencies, and trade-offs; lead mitigation and contingency planning in partnership with program stakeholders, and escalate issues as appropriate.

Performance & Continuous Improvement

• Manage the coordination of program activities with responsibility for business results, including costs, methods, and staffing across assigned initiatives.
• Contribute to a culture of collaboration, accountability, and operational excellence within the C&P COE, and help raise the bar on program and change management practices across Adobe’s GTM organization.
