Senior Director, AI Product Management - Data Center

Job Title

This position will be responsible for bringing data center operations and hyperscalers qualification related requirements into the roadmap. It will own the commercialization of one of the largest hyperscaler projects from the perspective of requirements and roadmap.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and execute the product strategy and roadmap for AI-centric data center platforms and rack-level systems, including compute nodes, interconnect fabrics, power delivery, and cooling subsystems.
• Lead market analysis to identify AI workloads and emerging system-level trends (e.g., large language models, inference at scale, rack-scale orchestration).
• Collaborate with silicon architects, systems engineers, firmware and software teams to translate market and customer needs into detailed product requirements and rack-level integration specifications.
• Engage directly with hyperscale cloud providers, enterprise customers and strategic partners to gather feedback, co-develop proofs of concept, and drive early deployments of rack-scale AI clusters.
• Partner with marketing and sales leadership to craft compelling value propositions, competitive positioning, launch plans and go-to-market collateral.
• Mentor and grow a high-performing team of product managers, fostering a culture of innovation, customer obsession, and rigorous decision-making.
• Track product performance post-launchcovering system-level metrics like power efficiency, thermal headroom, and network utilizationiterating on features, pricing, and lifecycle management to maximize ROI and market share
