This is a unique opportunity to shape how Micron engages with the next wave of innovation across AI, semiconductors, compute infrastructure, and adjacent technologies. The role will define Micron Ventures' investment strategy, sector priorities, and portfolio construction in alignment with Micron's corporate strategy and technology roadmap.

This leader will own the full venture lifecycle, including thesis development, sourcing, diligence, valuation, structuring, negotiation, and executive-level investment recommendations. The role will also partner closely with Micron business units and technical leaders to turn investments into strategic value through pilots, commercial engagement, product collaboration, and market insight.

The ideal candidate will bring a Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Statistics, Physics, Mathematics, Business administration, or related field along with 15+ years of experience in venture capital, corporate venture capital, growth investing, or corporate development, including at least 5 years in senior fund leadership roles.

Consistent track record of successful investments and exits with financial and measurable strategic outcomes;

Experience leading or shaping the strategy of a $100M+ venture fund, including portfolio construction, deployment pacing, reserve strategy, and exit planning;

Extensive network across premier venture firms, founders, universities, accelerators, and frontier AI and semiconductor communities;

Proven ability to build and lead high-performing investment teams and focused investment processes;

Deep expertise in AI/ML, semiconductor ecosystems, advanced compute infrastructure, and the evolving hardware-software stack;

Exceptional executive presence, communication skills, and judgment in high-stakes internal and external settings.
