THE ROLE

AMD is looking for a senior leader to lead Enterprise Ecosystem Marketing across our most important OEM, cloud, ISV, and GSI partners. Reporting to the Corporate Vice President, AI & Enterprise Marketing, this leader will define how AMD works with its partner ecosystem to reach enterprise customers, accelerate adoption of AMD technologies and solutions, and strengthen AMD’s position across priority markets. The scope spans AMD EPYC processors, AMD Instinct accelerators, AMD Pensando networking, and enterprise AI. This leader will own AMD’s corporate marketing relationships with strategic enterprise partners while working closely with Partner teams in the Business Units, Global Account and Partner Sales leaders, and AMD Marketing. A key part of the role is building a more integrated Enterprise partner motion across partner types, prioritizing where AMD invests people and marketing dollars, and creating a consistent operating model for planning, execution, and measurement. Success will be measured by partner-influenced pipeline and revenue, Enterprise program adoption, investment effectiveness, customer proof, and AMD visibility and preference across strategic partner go-to-market motions.

You also have experience building and developing teams through change and know how to create scalable operating models rather than relying on one-off execution.

• Drive Customer- and Solution-Led Programs – Guide integrated programs that bring AMD and its partners together around priority workloads, solutions, and customer needs.  

• Increase AMD Influence Within Partner GTM – Strengthen AMD visibility, differentiation, and preference across partner campaigns, launches, events, digital properties, marketplaces, and sales motions.  

• Establish Measurement and Governance – Build consistent frameworks for planning, investment decisions, and measuring partner-influenced pipeline and revenue, program adoption, investment effectiveness, customer proof, and AMD visibility.  

• Connect Teams Across AMD – Align Partner teams in the Business Units, Global Account and Partner Sales leaders, and AMD Marketing around common priorities with clear and complementary responsibilities.

• Strong understanding of enterprise technology markets, including datacenter infrastructure, cloud, AI, networking, enterprise software, or adjacent categories.  

• Strong analytical, communication, and organizational leadership skills.
