What leading at Adobe means

At Adobe, we’re passionate about developing leaders at all levels of the organization from individual contributors to people managers. Anyone who’s considering a career with us should know that we evaluate leadership based on these five capabilities:

Demonstrating Strong EQ (Be Aware) – Having a keen sense of self awareness is the foundation of leadership at Adobe. As a leader, we look to you to inspire teams to greatness with empathy and mindfulness of your impact on others from interns to the Board of Directors. And whether you’re in headquarters, New York, London, Tokyo or Bangalore, you’re attuned to emotional, situational and cultural surroundings and adapt your approach accordingly.
Selecting Talent (Be a Recruiter) – You’re on top of current and future talent needs as the business evolves because one of your key goals is to build robust teams. You do so by adopting a meticulous approach to hiring outstanding talent and are intentionally inclusive to attract diversity of ideas and experiences.
Role Modeling Check-In (Be a mentor) – annual reviews and rankings is not what Adobe believes in. That’s why, feedback flows continually at Adobe. You’re an inspirational and effective mentor; a leader who discusses expectations, feedback and development regularly with your direct reports. To succeed in this role, you’ll need to address performance gaps early and optimally, and be open to seeking feedback from others to improve your performance and your team's performance
Leading Change (Be an Agent of Change) – Change leadership is what you do! You proactively identify opportunities to align team goals with organizational change. You’re great at building support for change because you connect with conviction and you help those around you to see both the rational and mechanics for business changes and how to adapt accordingly
Scaling the Business (Be an Owner) – You’re someone who sees and understands the vision of the company. You’re able to articulate business strategy and develop business processes, systems and structures to make performance balanced. Your mission is to deliver an exceptional customer experience by promoting shared goals and driving accountability
