The Opportunity 

Adobe is seeking a Principal Talent Partner to lead highly visible, high-impact, and strategically critical executive and senior leadership hiring across Worldwide Field Operations (WWFO) Adobe’s global GoToMarket engine. 

WWFO brings together Enterprise Sales, Customer Success, Professional Services, Solutions Consulting, Marketing, and Revenue Operations, operating as an interconnected system responsible for driving revenue, customer outcomes, retention, and long-term growth. The field runs with urgency and accountability, shaped by in-quarter pressure, customer commitments, and aggressive growth goals. Leadership hiring decisions within WWFO have immediate and far-reaching impact—affecting pipeline health, customer experience, field morale, and business momentum. 

This role is designed for a trusted advisor who deeply understands how the Enterprise Field Engine operates, how GTM functions interlock, how decisions made under pressure ripple across the field, and how the right leadership talent enables performance at scale. The ideal candidate brings a genuine love of the field, an instinctive grasp of enterprise GTM motions, and the credibility to partner with senior leaders operating under intense timelines and expectations. 

The Principal Talent Partner must excel at balancing speed with judgment—moving with urgency when the business demands it, while also having the confidence to slow the process, push back when needed, and protect hiring quality, diversity, and long-term success. This is about ensuring Adobe makes the right hire, not just the fastest one. 

This role combines strategy, execution, and influence. You will personally lead complex executive searches, deliver actionable talent intelligence, and represent Adobe with exceptional discretion, judgment, and professionalism. You will also help shape the broader Talent Acquisition culture mentoring others, reinforcing Adobe’s values, and continuously raising the bar for how executive hiring is done at Adobe. 

What You’ll Do 

Lead high-stakes executive searches 

• Own the full lifecycle of complex executive and senior leadership searches across Enterprise Sales, Customer Success, Solutions Consulting, Marketing, Revenue Operations, and other GTM critical functions 

• Deliver excellence at speed while maintaining rigorous assessment standards and long-term fit 

Operate fluently in the Enterprise Field Engine 

• Demonstrate a deep understanding of how enterprise GTM roles interconnect, the pressures leaders face in-quarter, and how talent decisions directly impact revenue, customer outcomes, and field morale 

• Anticipate downstream implications of leadership hires across the broader field ecosystem
