The Opportunity

From the moment you wake up in the morning until you go to bed at night consider the media you consume, the adverts you see, the apps you use, the websites you browse and almost all the shopping you do online throughout the day. Chances are that every single one of those interactions, every single one of those experiences, was touched by an Adobe product!

About the Role:

We are seeking an experienced and strategic Head of Enterprise Architects to lead the development and implementation of our enterprise architecture strategy across the EMEA region. In this key leadership position, the person will be responsible for developing and performing the EA strategy as part of a larger Value Acceleration team. This role will be managing a team who blend technical and business skills to design solutions for Adobe customers, helping brands to fully capitalize on the era of digital transformation, so they can deliver personalized and impactful experiences across all devices and channels for their customers through architecture and aligning that to Adobe's solutions. The ability to see, measure, and analyse critical factors such as resources, outcomes, and priorities keeps everyone on the same page, and team members know why their work matters. This customer-facing leadership role offers a rich opportunity to lead senior and principal architects and requires a combination of deep technical knowledge, sales expertise, and the ability to manage a high-performing team in a fast-paced, customer-focused environment.

• Training & Enablement: Develop and deliver training and enablement programs to empower the sales team with technical knowledge and effective sales strategies.
• Team Management: Lead and mentor a team of enterprise architects, fostering a collaborative environment, ensuring continuous development, and maintaining high levels of performance.
