Senior Principal Program Manager, Business Acceleration

Description

The company is publicly listed on NASDAQ and makes semiconductor-based connectivity for rack-scale AI infrastructure, using purpose-built chips and systems that link components through CXL, Ethernet, NVLink, PCIe and UALink.

Its software suite ties these technologies into flexible systems for both scale-up and scale-out connectivity.

Alongside its standards-based products, the company builds custom connectivity architectures for customers with unique infrastructure needs.

This is a senior, high-visibility role that supports leadership on the company's most important customer and business initiatives.

You will work with Sales, Product, Engineering, Field Applications, Supply Chain and other groups to spot execution gaps, enforce accountability and speed up results.

The goal is to help strategic sales opportunities turn into revenue. The role suits someone technically credible, well organized, at ease with senior executives and persistent about getting problems resolved.

The role is built for an operator who wants to grow beyond program management into broader business leadership.

• Work closely with senior leadership to monitor progress on strategic objectives.
• Identify systemic execution problems and set up mechanisms that improve responsiveness and accountability.
• Learn how semiconductor products are developed and manufactured, including silicon development, validation, tape-out, foundry, packaging and production.
• Over time, help monitor critical supply-chain risks and dependencies across foundry, OSAT, substrate and other key suppliers.
• Set up reporting that flags emerging supply constraints and risks.
