Intel Corporation • Santa Clara, CA

9d • $224,970 - $374,800 • Hybrid

About The Position

Intel is seeking a transformative, results-driven leader to direct Competitive and Solutions Marketing. This role will architect and guide a centralized intelligence ecosystem that serves as an enterprise-wide source of truth for market conditions, competitive dynamics, growth opportunities, and market response. The position provides independent, fact-based perspectives to inform enterprise planning, resource allocation, and strategic decisions, and helps shape the company’s understanding of market opportunities, competition, emerging technology shifts, and investment priorities.

This is a strategic advisory and market-response leadership role, not a traditional reporting or analytics position. The Senior Director will evolve market intelligence from static, reactive dashboards into an AI-enabled capability. The leader will combine human judgment with AI tools, partner with IT on business architecture and product requirements, and build a collaborative Intelligence Community that reduces information silos. Agentic tools will support first-draft synthesis and continuous signal sensing, allowing the team to focus on strategic counsel, objective stress-testing, and higher-value contributions to decisions.

The role leads a high-caliber team of data scientists and technical marketers, developing their capabilities in strategic consulting, scenario modeling, and intelligence systems design. The position is based in a hybrid work model, with time split between an assigned Intel site and off-site work. The role is identified as a Position of Trust and requires consent to and passage of an extended background investigation.
