Senior Manager, Americas Partner Sales
CurrentI lead a hybrid team of nine: 5 Field Partner Sales Managers (Field PSMs) and 4 Partner Managers (PMs). PMs are "partner facing" and are aligned to a number of partners; they are responsible for the overarching relationship, growth, and success of the partnerships they manage. Field PSMs are "field facing" in nature and are aligned to specific sales teams throughout Adobe; their mission is to produce & execute a defined partner strategy for their territories, serve as partner agnostic, neutral, trusted advisors to the Adobe field, and ensure every AE has a partner plan. Our common goal as a team is to drive collaborative efforts with Adobe’s direct sales team, working closely with the partner ecosystem to 1) identify & qualify net new pipeline, and 2) accelerate, expand, and close opportunities via added partner support. We achieve this by being hyper-focused on the continued success & growth of our partners' Adobe practices, by conducting enablement sessions for partner client leads on Adobe solutions + value exchange + whitespacing analysis, as well as the development of GTM business plans, marketing initiatives, & repeatable motions we can drive together in the marketplace.
