Senior Global Business Manager, Workplace Strategy & Site Operations

The Opportunity

We're looking for a Senior Business Operations Manager to build and lead a global business management function within Workplace Strategy & Site Operations (WSSO)—Adobe's organization responsible for shaping where, how, and how well our people work around the world. In this role, you'll serve as the connective tissue across a globally distributed organization—driving alignment on priorities, governance, operating rhythms, reporting, and cross-functional team engagement so that WSSO's leaders can focus on strategic outcomes rather than operational friction.

You'll centralize and mature core enabling capabilities, including business operations, strategic program and process management, organizational communications, reporting and business insights, financial coordination, vendor management, and AI enablement. This is a high-visibility opportunity for a strategic operator who thrives on translating ambiguity into structure, building trusted relationships with senior leaders, and driving operational excellence at scale.

Serve as a strategic connector across the WSSO organization, driving collaboration, alignment, and effective handoffs between teams and XFN partners with interconnected responsibilities.

Establish and manage operating rhythms, governance processes, and decision-making frameworks that improve clarity of ownership and execution effectiveness.

Coordinate planning activities, including objectives and key results, annual planning cycles, and quarterly business reviews (QBRs).

Lead or coordinate cross-functional initiatives and PMO activities, providing structure and oversight for high-priority organizational programs.

Track execution against key objectives and support prioritization and resource alignment across competing initiatives.

Partner with Finance, budget owners, and leadership to support planning, forecasting, reporting, and budget governance.

Coordinate organization-wide financial reporting and insights, and support vendor management processes, governance, and performance oversight.

Help further develop WSSO’s reporting frameworks, dashboards, and business metrics that provide actionable insights and improve organizational visibility.

Translate operational data into recommendations that support executive decision-making.

Champion innovation and operational modernization throughout the organization, and help scale procedures that continuously improve organizational effectiveness.

Support employee engagement, recognition, and team effectiveness initiatives.

Improve knowledge management practices, including collaboration platforms, documentation, and shared resources, and promote consistency in processes, standards, and ways of working globally.

Significant experience in business operations, PMO, strategy execution, organizational effectiveness, or management consulting, ideally with a strong background in global corporate real estate and workplace.

A highly strategic operator with strong business insight and demonstrated success building and leading business management or operational functions that drive consistency, transparency, and rigor across a complex organization.

Comfortable influencing senior leaders and operating across global teams with competing priorities and diverse partners.

Strong skills in executive communications, financial coordination, and change management.

Experience establishing governance frameworks, operating rhythms, and reporting structures that scale.

Passionate about using technology and AI…
