Role OverviewAdobe’s Strategic Partnership Program (SPP) wins when we operate in deep partnership with global system integrators (SIs) and co-create transformational opportunities that unlock multi-year customer value and scale. The Partner Strategic Pursuit Lead (Partner SPL) is the senior, consultative seller who leads Adobe’s transformational co-sell motion with priority SIs.
Partner SPLs operate as embedded leaders inside partner accounts by earning trust, commanding credibility with senior SI sellers, and shaping joint strategy long before a customer opportunity exists. They run a parallel sales cycle with SI account leadership to originate $10M+ transformational deals, co-create industry-led value narratives, and drive early-stage solutioning that accelerates Adobe’s sales cycle and strengthens SI service growth.
This role exists to originate and accelerate transformational pipeline, integrate Adobe into partner-led motions, and ensure Adobe and the SI show up as one strategic team in front of the customer. Partner SPLs lead the motions that produce predictable partner-led pipeline, stronger joint influence, and a scalable engine for transformation-led growth.
What You’ll OwnPartner-Centric Opportunity Origination – Develop and execute a repeatable process for identifying, qualifying, and originating transformational opportunities across named SI partners. Build the early-stage “hook” that aligns client priorities, SI strategy, and Adobe value.
Executive Influence Across the SI – Operate as a senior, consultative seller inside SI offices. Build credibility with senior sellers, sector leaders, strategy teams, and account partners. Expand internal SI awareness of Adobe to surface new opportunities.
Dual-Sales-Cycle Leadership – Run a structured partner-facing sales cycle in parallel to the customer cycle – discovery, objection handling, stakeholder mapping, trust building, and alignment.
Joint Value Narrative & Early Solution Shaping – Co-create compelling joint POVs with Adobe and SI leaders. Lead early-stage solutioning that sets the foundation for strong pursuits and accelerates the client engagement motion.
Partner + Adobe Alignment on Priority Accounts – Drive clarity and governance across Adobe SPP ecosystem (SPL, Accelerate, Specialists, COE, DSG) and the SI leadership team. Ensure both organizations operate from a unified execution plan.
Transformational Pursuit Acceleration – Lead partner-facing pursuit motions from DR Stage 1–3. Identify risks early, create pursuit governance, and prepare both firms for seamless client engagement.
Originate and Close Large Deals – Partner SPLs are senior consultative sellers. You originate transformational opportunities and co-lead closing motions alongside Adobe SPLs and SI senior sellers.
