Opportunity

The Adobe Digital Media Americas Field Sales team is seeking a high-caliber Account Manager (AM) to cultivate strategic C‑Suite relationships, drive industry‑leading retention rates, and accelerate revenue growth across an assigned portfolio of named accounts. The AM will serve as the single point of contact for customers and quarterback a team of extended resources to execute a comprehensive account strategy. Using AI and data‑driven insights, product propensity analytics, and every available resource—resellers, product experts, solution consultants, Adobe operations, and their own executive network—the AM will identify, shape, and close new business opportunities. Success in this role requires operational excellence, cross‑functional leadership, and the ability to influence complex organizations. Performance will be measured by net‑new revenue growth across the account portfolio, including retention and revenue targets.

• Act as a strategic problem‑solver with strong account management skills and sharp business acumen.

• Sell across multiple levels of an organization, including outbound prospecting into existing customers to generate new demand.
• Engage customers daily (in person or virtually); travel 30–50% based on account geography.
• Maintain a rigorous pipeline of forecasted opportunities to meet monthly, quarterly, and annual targets.
• Run a disciplined, predictable weekly operating rhythm to drive team performance.
• Partner cross‑functionally with Product, Marketing, Finance, Operations, and Engineering to relay customer insight and unlock new revenue opportunities.

What You Need To Succeed

• 5+ years of consistent, high‑performing strategic account management experience, with an established Rolodex of C‑Suite relationships.
• Demonstrated success leading a matrixed selling organization to land and expand complex enterprise software solutions.
• Ability to build, deepen, and sustain relationships from IT stakeholders to senior executives.
• Exceptional communication and presentation skills, with executive presence and the ability to engage any audience.
• Proven ability to leverage quantitative and qualitative analysis to identify and activate new sales opportunities.
