At NVIDIA, we're at the forefront of innovation, redefining the future of computing with our powerful GPU technology. Our GPUs serve as the brains behind computers, robots, and self-driving cars, enabling them to understand and interact with their surroundings. We are seeking a Senior Program Manager to own the operating rhythm between internal teams, OEM/ODM partners, and customer-facing deployment programs. This is a high-visibility, operations-focused role that values process rigor, cross-functional coordination, and leadership transparency over deep technical expertise.

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Own the operating rhythm and day-to-day engagement with OEM/ODM ecosystem partners across factory status tracking, hardware deployment achievements, service readiness, and operational execution.

  • Drive cross-functional alignment between internal teams, external partners, operations, supply chain, and deployment collaborators to ensure consistent program visibility.

  • Establish and maintain a consistent operating cadence for program reviews, partner status updates, risk reviews, and executive handling of blocking issues.

  • Track and communicate program readiness across planning, deployment preparation, bring-up execution, validation, and operational handoff achievements.

  • Coordinate post-deployment field data, including bring-up issues, validation results, and operational metrics, with factory and partner workflows. Identify key improvements and promote process updates with ODM/OEM partners.

  • Identify roadblocks, owners, mitigation plans, decision needs, and leadership asks across multiple partner programs.

  • Standardize templates, trackers, dashboards, and review mechanisms for partner programs, deployment services, and leadership updates.

  • Support continuous improvement across partner workflows, deployment execution, and operating processes by bringing to bear data from field operations.

What We Need to See:

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Business, Operations, Supply Chain, or a related field, or equivalent experience.

  • 8+ years of experience leading cross-functional programs related to operations, supply chain, service delivery, or partner management.

  • Strong collaborator management skills across internal teams, external partners, and leadership audiences.

  • Demonstrated ability to translate ambiguous business or operational needs into structured plans, owners, timelines, and outcomes.

  • Strong executive communication skills, including concise status reporting, risk framing, and managing blocking issues.

  • Proven ability to standardize processes, improve workflows, and build repeatable operating mechanisms.

  • Experience leading programs that require coordination across multiple functions and partner organizations.

  • Strong ownership approach, attention to detail, and ability to drive accountability without direct authority.

Ways to Stand Out from the Crowd:

  • Experience collaborating directly with ODM/OEM partners in hardware manufacturing, factory operations, or data center deployment environments.

  • Familiarity with factory production workflows, bring-up and validation processes, and post-deployment operational feedback loops.

  • Background in supply chain operations, partner program management, or infrastructure deployment at scale.

  • Experience building dashboards, trackers, or operational reporting tools that provide leadership access to program health and risks.

  • Knowledge of NVIDIA platforms, AI infrastructure, or GPU-accelerated computing environments.
