Procurement Jobs in California

The Opportunity
Adobe is seeking a strategic, hands-on Group Product Manager to lead the product vision and portfolio for enterprise Source-to-Pay. This leader will partner across Procurement, Finance, Legal, Risk, Security, IT, and business functions to simplify how employees engage suppliers, source goods and services, manage contracts, create purchases, receive value, process invoices, and measure procurement outcomes.
The role combines product leadership, procurement domain depth, enterprise platform fluency, and people management. You will set direction across a complex product portfolio, translate business strategy into measurable product outcomes, and develop product leaders who can independently own major capabilities.

What You’ll Do
Set the product vision and portfolio strategy. Own the holistic vision, multi-year strategy, investment roadmap, and outcome framework for Source-to-Pay products, aligned to company objectives and Procurement and Finance transformation priorities.
Lead the end-to-end Source-to-Pay experience. Drive a coherent product approach across procurement intake and orchestration, strategic sourcing, supplier onboarding and lifecycle management, contract integration, catalogs, requisitioning, purchase orders, receiving, invoice processing, and downstream ERP and payment handoffs.
Translate strategy into execution. Define product boundaries, business capabilities, target-state journeys, priorities, success metrics, and release plans. Hold product managers and partner teams accountable for delivering toward the agreed strategy.
Shape enterprise process and operating models. Partner with process owners to standardize policies, approval models, buying channels, master-data ownership, controls, support, and governance while balancing global consistency and legitimate regional needs.
Drive platform and architecture decisions. Guide build-versus-buy decisions and product choices across procurement suites and adjacent platforms. Discuss integration patterns, data models, identity, security, extensibility, technical debt, and schedule tradeoffs with architecture and engineering leaders.
Lead transformation delivery. Provide product leadership through discovery, fit-gap, design, configuration, data readiness, testing, cutover, adoption, stabilization, and continuous optimization for enterprise-scale implementations.
Improve procurement outcomes with data. Establish instrumentation and KPIs such as addressable spend under management, preferred-channel adoption, contract and catalog compliance, requisition-to-PO cycle time, invoice straight-through processing, exception rates, supplier onboarding time, user satisfaction, realized value, and control effectiveness.
Influence across the enterprise. Present concepts, business rationale, investment choices, risks, and key findings to Vice President-level stakeholders. Drive coordinated problem solving horizontally across multiple organizations.
Lead strategic partners. Manage product relationships with procurement technology vendors, ERP providers, systems integrators, and implementation partners. Ensure product direction, service performance, commercial commitments, and roadmaps support Adobe outcomes.
Build a high-performing product organization. Lead senior product managers and/or people managers across multiple products or teams. Create visibility for team members, coach managers, make sound talent decisions, and develop leaders capable of owning product strategy independently.
Champion responsible, compliant solutions. Embed privacy, security, accessibility, auditability, third-party risk, segregation of duties, records retention, and regulatory requirements into product design and delivery.

What You Need to Succeed
8+ years of product management experience, including ownership of complex enterprise products or platforms from strategy through adoption and lifecycle optimization.
5+ years managing Product Management individual contributors, with demonstrated experience developing senior product managers and/or people managers.
Deep working knowledge of Source-to-Pay, Procure-to-Pay, or procurement transformation, including several of the following: intake, sourcing, supplier management, contracting, catalogs, requisitioning, purchasing, receiving, invoicing, and procurement analytics.
Proven ability to own a portfolio or group of products spanning multiple scrum teams, feature areas, platforms, or business processes with substantial organizational impact.
Experience defining product strategy, roadmaps, product requirements, operating metrics, investment cases, and value realization plans for enterprise capabilities.
Experience leading product work within large-scale implementations and integrations involving procurement platforms, ERP, finance, identity, data, tax, payments, risk, or contract systems.
Technical fluency to engage architects and engineering teams on APIs and integration patterns, master and transactional data, workflow and rules, nonfunctional requirements, security, and architectural tradeoffs.
Strong executive communication and influence skills, including the ability to frame decisions and secure alignment at Vice President level across multiple organizations.
Demonstrated ability to navigate ambiguity, reconcile competing stakeholder needs, and make principled prioritization decisions using customer evidence, risk, economics, and measurable outcomes.
Bachelor’s degree in Business, Supply Chain, Information Systems, Computer Science, Finance, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

Preferred Qualifications
Experience with GEP SMART/Quantum or comparable enterprise procurement suites such as Coupa or SAP Ariba; expertise in one platform is valuable, but the role requires portfolio-level product leadership rather than administration of a single tool.
Experience with SAP S/4HANA or another enterprise ERP and with integrations across contracts, suppliers, purchase orders, receipts, invoices, payments, tax, and financial controls.
Knowledge of procurement frameworks and practices such as category management, strategic sourcing, total cost of ownership, supplier segmentation and performance, third-party risk, responsible sourcing, and spend analytics.
Experience improving global procurement experiences through process mining, workflow automation, AI-assisted intake or sourcing, guided buying, touchless processing, and data quality programs.
Professional certification such as CPSM, CIPS/MCIPS, CSCP, PMP, or an equivalent credential is a plus.
