Whether you’re designing next-gen processors, enabling AI breakthroughs, or bringing leading edge products to market, every role at AMD contributes to something bigger — technology that moves the world forward. Join us and, together, we’ll advance your career. THE ROLE AMD is seeking a Senior Director of Developer Integrated Marketing to lead the global marketing strategy and programs that acquire, activate, educate and engage developers across AMD’s growing AI ecosystem. Reporting to the Global Head of Developer Marketing, this is a highly visible leadership role at the intersection of AI, software, developer experience and marketing. This leader will lead an integrated global team responsible for translating AMD’s technology and business priorities into developer-first campaigns, experiences and programs that accelerate adoption of AMD AI platforms. The role will own the integrated developer marketing engine across the developer journey, from awareness and acquisition through hands-on experience, education, community engagement and platform adoption. This leader will work closely across AMD Marketing, Developer Relations, AI and software engineering, product and business teams, regional marketing, communications and strategic ecosystem partners to create one coordinated approach to developer growth. THE PERSON: You are a strategic, modern marketing leader who understands developers as both a technical audience and a critical driver of technology adoption.

You know how to build an integrated marketing engine across campaigns, content and editorial, digital, events, education, community, social, paid and earned media, and ecosystem partnerships while maintaining a clear focus on measurable business outcomes. You are comfortable operating in a highly technical environment and can translate complex AI, software and hardware technologies into compelling developer experiences and marketing programs. You are equally comfortable setting strategy with senior executives, working with engineering and Developer Relations teams, continuously improving how marketing engages and supports developers, and getting close enough to execution to ensure the work delivers. You thrive in ambiguity, move quickly, make clear tradeoffs and build alignment across complex organizations. You develop strong teams and leaders, create clarity around priorities, and know how to scale through others. Above all, you are passionate about developers and understand that earning developer trust requires authenticity, technical credibility, useful experiences and a relentless focus on reducing friction.

Ensure agency partners operate as an extension of the AMD team, with clear accountability for outcomes, strong integration across programs and disciplined management of marketing investment. • Establish clear measurement across the developer journey, including hands-on experiences, developer acquisition, activation, education, community growth, platform engagement and adoption. • Use data to continually optimize investment, audience prioritization, channel mix and program performance. • Lead annual and long-range planning for Developer Integrated Marketing, including strategy, organizational capability, investment priorities, agency resources and measurement. • Build and lead a high-performing global team across integrated campaigns, events, editorial and content, social, digital, paid media, ecosystem programs and developer experiences. • Develop leaders within the organization and create an operating model that drives clear ownership, accountability, prioritization and execution at scale. • Serve as a senior marketing partner across AMD, working closely with executives and leaders across Marketing, AI, Developer Relations, Engineering, Product, Sales and regional organizations. • Champion an outside-in, developer-first perspective across AMD, bringing developer insights into marketing strategy, product launches, experiences and company priorities.
