The Opportunity

We are operating in an environment where customer expectations, buying behaviour, and go-to-market strategies are rapidly evolving. Traditional sales approaches, centered on product-led discovery and reactive engagement, are no longer sufficient to drive meaningful customer outcomes or sustained revenue growth.

Sales organizations today must evolve from execution only to insight-led, personalized engagement, where every interaction is intentional, relevant, and drive outcomes

At Adobe, we are rethinking how sellers and customer-facing teams engage with customers, shifting from product conversations to business conversations, from reactive training to proactive enablement, and from individual capability building to scaled frontline capability supported by manager-led coaching ecosystems.

At the center of this transformation is a clear focus on defining how we engage the modern Business Professional (Biz Pro) and enabling every seller to win new customers and new users through better business conversations. This role will anchor on a simple but powerful framework:

Persona (who to talk to)
Conversation (what to say)
Capability (how sellers improve)
Measurement (is it working)

As a Group Manager, Sales Coaching, Readiness & Performance Enablement, you will play a critical role in building this next-generation enablement capability. You will define how sellers and CX agents are equipped to lead high-quality, meaningful conversations, and ensure that enablement directly translates into measurable business outcomes.

This role will bring together sales strategy, coaching excellence, and performance enablement, with a clear mandate to define what good looks like in frontline execution and scale it across the organization.

What You'll Do

As a Group Manager, you will bring critical thinking, coaching depth, and operational rigor to transform enablement into a business-critical function that drives revenue and customer outcomes.

Define and clearly articulate the modern Biz Pro personas, including their roles, workflows, challenges, and how their work is evolving in an AI-first, content + document world.

Build seller and CX capability to lead deep conversations that enable new customer acquisition and expansion of new users within existing accounts.
Standardize and scale conversation frameworks, talk tracks, and industry-specific narratives for discovery, pitching, and closing conversations.

Implement conversation practice and coaching programs, including role plays, simulation tools, and call coaching (in partnership with FLMs), to improve discovery, storytelling, and pitching skills.

Build manager-led coaching frameworks to sustain behaviour change at scale and drive accountability for adoption and performance improvement.
Capture what's working - high-quality conversations, successful talk tracks, and winning behaviours, and scale it across the organization.
Shift enablement from reactive training to a proactive, insights informed capability aligned to GTM strategies, product launches, and evolving customer expectations.
Define and standardize what good looks like for high-quality conversations, and customer focused seller and CX behaviours.
