The Opportunity: As Adobe’s Digital Media business continues to scale and evolve, the need for disciplined execution, strategic change leadership, and infrastructure for balanced transformation has never been more important.

What you'll Do

Orchestrate System and Process Transformation

• Partner with Finance, IT, and internal customers to ensure system changes meet FP&A requirements
• Anticipate resource timing conflicts and build connective tissue between financial planning cycles and system delivery

Enable Executive Decision-Making

• Publish bi-weekly updates for leadership summarizing program status, risks, and key decisions along with synthesizing technical and financial data into actionable insights
• Lead the development of strategic pillars and initiative frameworks that guide long-term FP&A vision
