Your Team, Your Impact

Marvell's Global Marketing organization mission is to accelerate Marvell’s growth by delivering impactful outcomes and services that elevate our brand, captivate our target audiences, and exceed stakeholder expectations. The organization encompasses communications, digital, events, social, analyst relations, marketing research, and portfolio marketing. We collaborate closely with Marvell's business units, investor relations, finance, HR, and executive staff to ensure our messaging and positioning resonate effectively with diverse global audiences. What You Can Expect The Sr. Director, Product & Technology Marketing for the Data Center Networking Business Group will own the outbound marketing strategy for Marvell's photonic fabric, co-packaged optics (CPO), optical connectivity, data center switching, and data center interconnect (DCI) portfolio. This is a high-stakes, system-level marketing role — the target audience is not component buyers, but platform decision-makers: system architects at hyperscalers and data center operators who are making infrastructure-level choices about how to scale AI clusters beyond the rack. The marketing challenge is translating silicon-level photonic innovation into a compelling end-to-end narrative about the future of AI-scale connectivity — from millimeters between chips on a co-packaged optics module, to photonic fabric and high-radix switching connecting XPU to XPU within the cluster, to coherent DCI solutions spanning kilometers between data centers.

Product Marketing & Outbound Strategy • Own the full outbound marketing strategy for Marvell's Optical & Data Center Systems portfolio — amplifying Marvell's market-leading connectivity position across photonic fabric, CPO, data center switching, and coherent DCI — through differentiated positioning, compelling messaging, and targeted channel activation that drives awareness and preference with hyperscaler and data center operator audiences. • Define and maintain differentiated value propositions and messaging hierarchies for each portfolio segment; ensure consistent, compelling communication of Marvell's competitive advantages to external audiences. • Lead product launch planning and execution, driving cross-functional readiness across sales, PR, analyst relations, digital, and events to maximize market impact at launch. • Develop competitive response playbooks and sales enablement content — including pitch decks, solution briefs, battle cards, and objection-handling guides — that equip customer-facing teams to win. • Partner with product management and engineering teams to deeply understand technology roadmaps; translate product capabilities into external marketing strategies, not internal product plans.

Technology Marketing & Thought Leadership • Build and execute a technology marketing strategy that establishes Marvell as the recognized leader in optical-scale AI infrastructure — telling the end-to-end story of AI connectivity from millimeters between chips on a co-packaged optics module, to photonic fabric and high-radix switching connecting XPU to XPU within the cluster, to coherent DCI solutions spanning kilometers between data centers . • Create a pipeline of compelling thought leadership assets including white papers, solution briefs, executive presentations, keynote narratives, and technical blogs that translate silicon-level innovation into customer and industry impact. • Partner with executive and product leadership to develop and sharpen Marvell's technology narrative for major industry forums, analyst briefings, customer events, and investor communications. • Act as a senior voice of the market — tracking industry trends, competitive dynamics, and customer requirements to continuously sharpen Marvell's positioning.

Cross-Functional Leadership & Organizational Influence • Serve as the primary outbound marketing partner to product line executives and product management teams — translating roadmap inputs into external marketing strategies, audience narratives, and campaign execution. • Collaborate across marketing functions — corporate, digital, events, AR/PR, and content — to ensure portfolio messaging is consistently amplified across all channels and touchpoints. • Establish shared messaging frameworks, launch standards, and audience segmentation playbooks that scale across Marvell's business units and marketing organization. • Represent the marketing function in senior leadership forums, ensuring outbound marketing strategy and investment priorities are informed by market insight and tied to business outcomes.

What We're Looking For • BS degree required; a degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline is highly preferred. MBA or MS in a business or quantitative discipline valued in addition to an engineering foundation. • 15+ years of progressive experience in outbound product marketing or technology marketing within the semiconductor, systems, or AI infrastructure industry — candidates with pure product management backgrounds will not be considered. • Deep expertise in AI/data center optical infrastructure — including co-packaged optics (CPO), silicon photonics, data center switching, and coherent DCI — with demonstrated understanding of the hyperscaler and data center operator buyer landscape, platform-level purchasing dynamics, and the competitive and technology trends
