What do Finance, legal and operations in San Jose work on?

The roles span a wide functional range within the business operations family. On the legal side, Adobe's Director and Associate General Counsel handles SEC filings, board governance, and insider trading compliance for a public company, requiring deep securities law experience. Finance work divides between strategic and analytical tracks: a Lead Financial Analyst supporting go-to-market builds forecasting models and executive dashboards, while a Head of Technical Accounting and ESG Controller and an M&A Finance Integration Lead suggest that more complex reporting and deal-related integration work also features heavily. Operations roles range from a Senior Business Operations Manager overseeing budgets exceeding $100 million and vendor contracts, to a Data Center Operations Systems Engineer handling physical server infrastructure on shift. Titles like Finance Transformation Manager and Operations AI Developer indicate that process redesign and tooling work sit alongside traditional finance and legal responsibilities in some of these postings.

Skills and experience employers ask for

Skill mentions are drawn from descriptions across all postings, not from stated requirements, and with only this sample size the counts should be read cautiously. SQL appears most frequently, followed by Python and GPU-related knowledge, the latter likely concentrated in data centre and AI-adjacent roles. Mentions of LLMs, APIs, and CI/CD are present but uncommon, suggesting technical depth is expected in only a minority of these positions.

Business Operations roles that state a salary

The employers' own advertised ranges, for individual roles at different levels โ€” not an average and not a market rate.

San Jose office, hybrid or remote?

The strong majority of postings on this page specify fully onsite work, and a meaningful minority state hybrid arrangements. No postings are listed as fully remote. Where a posting does not state a work mode, that information is not shown and should be confirmed directly with the employer. The onsite concentration is notably high for a business operations group, which may reflect the operational and infrastructure nature of several roles, or employer policy rather than role type.

Make your application specific to the work

  1. Check the work mode first Most roles on this page require full onsite attendance in San Jose; confirm the arrangement for each posting before applying, as none are listed as remote.
  2. Match your functional background These postings cover distinct disciplines โ€” securities law, FP&A, data centre operations, and strategic finance โ€” so tailor your application materials to the specific function rather than sending a generic operations CV.
  3. Prepare salary expectations in advance Pay ranges are disclosed for only a small number of postings, all from Lambda; for the remaining roles, salary information is not stated and will need to be discussed with the employer during the process.
  4. Note seniority and experience thresholds Several postings, including the corporate legal director role requiring twelve or more years and the senior business operations manager requiring ten or more, set explicit experience floors, so check these before investing time in an application.
