• The Challenge:

  The Escalation Resolution Manager (ERM) plays a key role in proactively ensuring the de-escalation and ongoing satisfaction of Adobe's enterprise customers by leading the most critical customer engagements. Our main task is the implementation and ongoing execution of the Global Critical Situation Management Program along with tactical issues that may arise through the existing framework. This program is designed to restore confidence in Adobe when customers are at risk. We provide a safety net when the 'normal' escalation or issue management processes fail. Key to the program is the quality of your Program Management skills. Also important is that we effectively connect with all required Adobe personnel (including Executive Leadership) with current status and upcoming actions. Our ability to identify and drive corrective actions with Root Cause Analysis and operational review meetings is key.

  The ERM must have strong team and Emotional Intelligence skills. We influence various teammates including, Sales and Systems Engineers, Business Partners, and CSO Operations, Professional Services, BU/Engineering, and Sales Support. Command authority to set action plans that meet customer needs. Operating without direct supervisory control is an excellent skill!
