The Opportunity 

We are looking for a dynamic leader to help drive the strategy, thought leadership, and positioning to grow our Health & Life sciences segment.  As the Industry Strategy Expert, you will develop compelling and prescriptive thought leadership and present it to prospects at industry & Adobe conferences/events and 1:1 customer meetings with SVP levels and above.  You will partner with a diverse ecosystem of sales, product management, and solution consulting to bolster our industry value proposition and drive a coordinated go-to-market strategy.  As an ambassador for Adobe in the Health & Life sciences industry, you will also partner with Adobe marketing to drive awareness of Adobe’s capabilities. 

Key Responsibilities 

Develop Adobe’s point-of-view for Health & Life sciences: 

Build a vision and competitive positioning for the industry that resonates with Health & Life sciences executives. This will address, for example, what are the major capabilities and use cases Adobe’s Experience Cloud enables – from customer data & analytics, advanced omnichannel personalization, cross-channel journey orchestration, creative content production, and unified measurement.  It should also address what does "amazing" look like for an omnichannel experience & customer journey, and what tactics are needed for Healthcare Providers, Pharmaceutical & Biotech Companies, Medical Device & Diagnostics Companies, Health Insurance & Payers, Research & Academia and others to maximize the return from their digital programs. You will have opportunities to collaborate with digital strategists, technologists, data scientists, and other specialists to craft a powerful point-of-view. 

Drive a coordinated strategy to grow the business:   

The Adobe Health & Life sciences community extends across sales, marketing, pre-sales, customer success, product, professional services, and our partners. You will monitor the performance of the overall Americas business and drive long-term growth by orchestrating our strategy across functions. Typical activities include: working with sales leaders on go-to-market planning, partnering with marketing teams to amplify our industry messaging, enabling the field on how to position our capabilities to HLS people, influencing product/engineering teams to ensure advanced HLS capabilities/use cases are on our product roadmap, and aligning with partners on delivery of industry solutions.

Engage with senior executives as a thought leader: 

You will develop and present compelling thought leadership to senior executives in customer meetings, CxO roundtables, Adobe conferences, and industry events (e.g., HMPS). This is a role for someone who enjoys building C-level relationships, opening new doors, speaking at conferences, and advising business leaders on how to achieve success in their omnichannel transformation programs. 

What you need to succeed  

Your success is measured by driving growth in Adobe’s Health & Life sciences vertical by setting the vision for digital transformation in the space, and by positioning Adobe as a key strategic partner in this process. 

·       Experience in Health & Life sciences, either client-side or as a trusted advisor, with specific focus in digital, marketing, omnichannel personalization, customer data & analytics, and creative production (10+ years).
