The team will go deep into how customers use Adobe's creative products, which workflows and engagement patterns drive conversion and retention, and how Product, Marketing, and GTM teams can sustain momentum and unlock new growth.
This is a high-impact people leadership role at the intersection of data science, product analytics, marketing analytics, and business performance management. Leading a distributed team of data scientists, you will work closely with senior leaders in Product, GTM, Marketing, and Finance.

• Partner closely with Product, Marketing, Finance, and GTM leaders to connect product usage, customer engagement, acquisition, retention, and financial performance into an integrated view of business health.
• Help establish funnel goals, targets, and leading indicators for growth, and guide cross-functional teams on how to sustain momentum across the portfolio.
• Apply advanced analytics and data science methods-including segmentation, forecasting, experimentation, funnel diagnostics, and predictive modeling-to improve decision-making.
• Improve analytical rigor, business storytelling, and executive communication, including regular engagement with VP-level Product and GTM leaders.
• Translate complex data and customer behavior into clear, actionable recommendations that influence product roadmaps, marketing strategy, and business planning.
