The Role

We are hiring a Head of Customer Onboarding / Launch Advisory Services for Adobe Learning Manager (ALM) – a senior leadership role responsible for delivering a world-class onboarding experience, accelerating Time-to-First-Value, and laying the foundation for long-term customer success and expansion.

SaaS implementation leadership (preferably in learning technologies) Business analysis + technical solutioning Program and project governance for enterprise rollouts Cross-functional orchestration across Product, Engineering, Support, Sales, and CSM People leadership – team building, skills development, and leading from the front Customer-facing strategic leadership and executive presence

Core Responsibilities

  • Build and run structured onboarding governance – SteerCo, working groups, success plans, adoption milestones
  • Partner closely with Product & Engineering to influence roadmap, manage dependencies, and remove onboarding blockers
  • Guide customers and partners through best-practice, consultative onboarding, avoiding lift-and-shift approaches
  • Lead the team in delivering technical configurations, integrations, data migrations, SSO, and rollout planning
  • Create a culture of ownership, innovation, and consultative problem-solving – not status-quo execution
  • Drive career progression, mentorship, and continuous capability-building across techno-functional skills, customer strategy, and advisory excellence
  • Create repeatable frameworks, playbooks, templates, and operational processes to improve onboarding efficiency and scale
  • Act as a trusted advisor to senior customer stakeholders, including IT, Learning, and business leaders

  • Strong ability to translate business requirements into system configuration and technical architecture
  • Proven track record of leading enterprise implementations with multi-team dependencies

Why This Role Is Critical

This function directly shapes:
