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 theConnectivity Business Unit will own the outbound marketing strategy for Marvell'scomponent-level connectivity portfolio - including PAM4 optical DSPs, coherent DSPs, coherent-lite DSPs, PCIe retimers, transimpedance amplifiers (TIAs), linear drivers, and Ethernet PHYs. The primary audiences are module makers, OEM system integrators, and the broader optical and electrical connectivity ecosystem. The marketing challenge is inherently multi-tier: Marvell's components enable the modules that enable the systems - so the marketer must build narratives that resonate at the component level while connecting to system-level outcomes that matter to end customers. Success is measured in design-win momentum, ecosystem engagement, and Marvell's ability to define the standards and interoperability frameworks that shape the next generation of AI connectivity.

Product Marketing & Outbound Strategy

• Own the full outbound marketing strategy for Marvell's connectivity component portfolio - amplifying Marvell's market-leading position across PAM4 optical DSPs, coherent and coherent-lite DSPs, PCIe retimers, TIAs, linear drivers, and Ethernet PHYs- through differentiated positioning, compelling messaging, and targeted channel activation that drives design-win momentum and ecosystem engagement across module makers, OEMs, and system integrators.
• 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 end-to-end AI connectivity components - telling the multi-tier story from PAM4 DSPs and coherent components at the silicon level, to the modules they enable, to the hyperscale AI systems they ultimately power - translating deep component-level differentiation into market-defining narratives that resonate with module makers, OEM ecosystem partners, and the hyperscalers who deploy these solutions at scale.
• 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 optical and electrical connectivity components - including PAM4 DSPs, coherent DSPs, PCIe retimers, TIAs, and PHYs - with demonstrated understanding of the module maker and OEM ecosystem, multi-tier go-to-market dynamics (component → module → system), design-win processes, and the competitive landscape across AI scale-up, scale-out, and DCI interconnect markets.
• Demonstrated track record of leading complex, multi-product outbound marketing programs - from audience strategy and positioning through campaign execution - with measurable business results.
• Exceptional ability to synthesize highly technical concepts into external audience narratives, customer value stories, and industry thought leadership that drives awareness and preference.
• Proven experience developing and activating marketing content across the full outbound mix: executive presentations, white papers, solution briefs, digital campaigns, event activations, and media/analyst engagement.
• Strong cross-functional influence skills - able to collaborate effectively with product management without conflating the two disciplines; clear understanding of where marketing responsibility begins and ends.
• Strong executive presence and communication skills - confident presenting to partners, at industry conferences, and in internal leadership settings.
• Experience building and leading teams; strong track record recruiting, developing, and retaining top marketing talent.

Preferred

• Experience working with or marketing to optical module makers, OEM system integrators, and the broader connectivity ecosystem - with a track record of driving design-win momentum and ecosystem engagement at the component level.
• Familiarity with MSA standards (OSFP, QSFP-DD, CMIS, and related), module form factor requirements, and the interoperability frameworks that govern the optical module ecosystem.
• Track record of building or scaling a product marketing function; prior people management experience a strong plus.
• Track record of representing a company at major optical and connectivity industry forums; experience such as OFC, ECOC, OCP, OIF, and other relevant standards bodies or equivalent strongly preferred.
