This hybrid role bridges Brand, Supplier Services (including Sourcing & Procurement Operations), and Marketing Transformation organizations, driving financial discipline, value realization tracking, and contract governance across the initiative.

The ideal candidate thrives at the intersection of numbers and narrative. Someone who can manage a complex marketing investment budget, design a framework to track agency spend optimization targets, and walk into a room with executive level leadership (c-suite) to tell a clear, data-backed story.
 
Responsibilities:

• Budget Management & Investment Governance: Track and validate spend across all budget lines, including Adobe license costs, implementation labor, consulting costs, and permanent headcount, ensuring financial discipline at every stage.

Candidates should be comfortable managing complex, multiline budgets, building dashboards and/or graphs in excel as well as creating PowerPoint presentations on the data to executive leadership.
• Value Realization & Cost-Savings Tracking: Brand value will be generated through scaling volume content & automation. Serve as the primary financial tracker of the initiative's ROI, monitoring progress against the Brand team's $27MM agency savings optimization target Track both agency spend and content volumes throughout the transformation to measure overall value to Client, accounting for the possibility that savings may be reinvested to increase content thresholds Develop and maintain multi-year NPV model and update any cost-avoidance projections across all use case drivers.
• Reporting & Dashboard Development: Build and maintain detailed reports and dashboards for executive level leadership on a weekly/ad hoc basis. Develop macros, evaluate large datasets, and create audience-specific decks communicating financial and operational insights, including benefit allocation tables by LOB, investment cost breakdowns, and savings realization timelines. Leverage Workfront to build or enhance dashboards tracking resource allocation, capacity, and campaign planning across the Brand team.
• Contract, Vendor & Payment Management: Partner with client Sourcing to support restructuring agency contracts/retainers, including "unbundling" the existing pricing structure. Assist with evaluating and facilitating the restructuring of agency contracts, gathering and centralizing cross-line-of-business (xLOB) expense data, and tracking production-related spend and savings.
• Resource & Headcount Management: Use Workfront data to identify over- and under-capacity resources and generate regular reporting for leadership. Track the long-term expectation that the tools along with certain FTEs will replace mid-/lower-funnel agencies as AI workflows mature in Year 3+.
• AI Transformation / Change Management Support: Assess the financial and operational viability of Adobe GenAI initiatives. Help establish governance frameworks and assess the financial and operational viability of AI initiatives, including Workfront reporting enhancements and a centralized Campaign dashboard. Develop, track, and report on key metrics and progress, ensuring alignment with strategic goals and anticipated ROI.
