What You'll Be Doing:

  • Develop a comprehensive view of demand and translate it into clear inputs for planning, operations, and supply teams. Help optimize the end-to-end process of building and delivering products to customers while balancing supply, priorities, and execution constraints.

  • Maintain a strong understanding of the networking market and the switch business. Use technology roadmaps, industry trends, customer demand, and market dynamics to anticipate future requirements and inform planning decisions.

  • Partner closely with engineering, product management, architecture, planning, operations, and supply teams to align demand, priorities, and execution plans.

  • Prepare and present concise, data-driven recommendations, trade-offs, and execution updates to senior executives.

What We Need to See:

  • Strong analytical capabilities combined with extensive experience in networking, compute infrastructure, supply planning, or operations.

  • Bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science, engineering, business, finance, supply chain management, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

  • 15+ overall years of experience in product management, business operations, supply planning, or a related leadership role within the compute or networking industry.

  • 7+ years of demonstrated experience leading complex, cross-functional initiatives in multi-stakeholder environments and teams.

  • Expertise in networking, cloud technologies, AI infrastructure, storage, or accelerated networking technologies such as InfiniBand and Ethernet.

  • Proven success partnering with enterprise customers and leading cloud service providers to translate requirements into product, demand, or execution plans.

  • Excellent communication skills in both technical and business contexts.

Ways to Stand Out from the Crowd:

  • Demonstrated experience using demand, supply, market, or operational data to influence planning decisions in a relevant technology company.

  • Strong background in data center networking, AI infrastructure, storage, or security technologies.
