Question

How can I drop sql server agent jobs, if (and only if) it exists?

This is a well functioning script for stored procedures. How can I do the same to sql server agent jobs?

if exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[storedproc]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsProcedure') = 1)     drop procedure [dbo].[storedproc] GO CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[storedproc] ...

Try something like this:

DECLARE @jobId binary(16)  SELECT @jobId = job_id FROM msdb.dbo.sysjobs WHERE (name = N'Name of Your Job') IF (@jobId IS NOT NULL) BEGIN     EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_delete_job @jobId END  DECLARE @ReturnCode int EXEC @ReturnCode =  msdb.dbo.sp_add_job @job_name=N'Name of Your Job' 

Best to read the docs on all the parameters required for ‘sp_add_job’ and ‘sp_delete_job’
