The Opportunity
Adobe is driving strategic growth with global Private Equity (PE), Venture Capital (VC), and Sovereign Wealth (SWF) companies through a new go to market – Adobe Private Capital (APC). We are investing in high-calibre, analytical talent with a passion for market intelligence, value creation, and digital transformation. Individuals with a start-up mentality – curiosity, rigour, and a drive for actionable insights – will thrive in this role.
You will monitor PE, VC, and SWF markets as an APC Analyst to identify potential opportunities. You will compose compelling value hypotheses for portfolio companies by employing Adobe’s unified technology stack. Supporting Account Directors with data-driven insights will help accelerate pipeline generation and value realization across the region.
What You’ll Do

- Analyse portfolio company financials, digital maturity, marketing operations, and technology stacks to prioritise targets that can derive significant value from Adobe’s Digital Experience and Digital Media solutions.
- Develop detailed value hypotheses and business cases mapping Adobe technologies to portfolio company pain points, growth levers, and ROI potential, using proprietary Adobe data and external market intelligence.
- Build and maintain a dynamic database of PE/VC/SWF firms, funds, portfolio companies, and key stakeholders, ensuring real-time accuracy and actionable segmentation.
- Support APC Account Directors with research, modelling, and presentation materials for executive engagements, ideation workshops, and value realisation roadmaps.
- Conduct competitive analysis on rival technology providers and alternative digital transformation approaches to sharpen Adobe’s positioning within PE operating models.
- Collaborate with Adobe product, marketing, and data science teams to refine opportunity scoring models and predictive analytics for portfolio value creation.
- Track industry trends in digital marketing, customer experience, content supply chains, and generative AI to inform APC strategy and thought leadership content.
- Prepare concise executive summaries, dashboards, and briefing packs for Operating Partners and C-level stakeholders to accelerate decision-making.
- Contribute to joint governance models by providing performance metrics, milestone tracking, and post-implementation value validation for portfolio company initiatives.
