The Opportunity

We are looking for a Principal Program Manager to implement large programs within the Workfront product team, with intersections across Adobe.

What you'll do:

• Collaborate with Product Management, Architecture, Engineering and business partners to complete Workfront's product strategies on complex, dynamic programs.
  
• Create and track all aspects of a program, including: detailed plans and milestones, resource allocations, risks/issues remediation, status reporting, exec updates, roadmap updates, and serve as the "go to" person for details & state of things.
  
• Engage with customers, partners, and internal team members, representing the strategy, roadmap, risks/issues, and opportunities.
  
• Build material(s) that can be shared/consumed at various levels of the organization - from executive-level presentations, to finite-level materials to be consumed by project/program teams.
  
• Maintain a deep, technical end-to-end understanding of the solution being built, its upstream and downstream dependencies and impacts, and proliferate the awareness and vital changes needed to support the initiative.
  
• Proactively identify risks in all assigned areas; work with teams and management to mitigate these risks before they become issues.
  
• Effectively engage and influence people at all levels: from front-line team members to VPs, communicating continuously to partners throughout the organization.
  
• Influence without authority - including other departments and organizations.
  
• Understand and bring clarity to complex technical challenges, and successfully articulate and navigate through options that deliver the best customer experience
  
• Working amongst competing priorities and challenging schedules to get your programs across the finish line in a mode that brings value to customers.
  

What you need to succeed:

• Be steadfast in the pursuit of excellence - own the outcome
  
• Ability to engage directly with customers and drive-up their value/utilization
  
• Ability to lead teams in different time zones, geo locations, product teams, etc.
  
• Outstanding attention to detail; understands the what, why, when, how and who to drive better solutions.
  
• Self-starter w/ 10+ years of progressive project/program management experience on large scale initiatives; focus on platform work
  
• Experience in an always-on, services-based infrastructure/architecture, ensuring seamless customer experiences; scaled to address future demands
  
• Must know their audience; the ability to present to everyone from C-level to the Individual Contributor assigned to the project/program; ability to influence, and have data-driven conversations.
  
• Must have experience leading multiple large programs from inception through launch and operationalization.
  
• Be able to work well across organizations in a matrixed; globally-diverse workforce
  
• Experience with applications such as Workfront, Jira, or other workload (Backlog) management tools required
