About The Position

At AMD, our mission is to build great products that accelerate next-generation computing experiences—from AI and data centers, to PCs, gaming and embedded systems. Grounded in a culture of innovation and collaboration, we believe real progress comes from bold ideas, human ingenuity and a shared passion to create something extraordinary. When you join AMD, you’ll discover the real differentiator is our culture. We push the limits of innovation to solve the world’s most important challenges—striving for execution excellence, while being direct, humble, collaborative, and inclusive of diverse perspectives. Join us as we shape the future of AI and beyond. Together, we advance your career. You will operate as a trusted connector and influencer between AMD’s central IP organization and SoC product teams. This role centers on partnership, communication, and leadership—aligning stakeholders to drive shared outcomes in a complex, highly matrixed environment. You will navigate ambiguity, manage competing priorities, and create clarity where information is incomplete or evolving. Success in this role requires strong judgment, presence, and the ability to build trust quickly with engineers, program leaders, and executive stakeholders. You will translate complex technical work into clear narratives, align teams around decisions and commitments, and ensure expectations are consistently understood and met. This is a high‑visibility role with meaningful ownership, well‑suited for someone who thrives in fast‑moving environments and leads through credibility, relationships, and influence rather than formal authority.
