The ideal candidate understands how to create compelling outbound marketing in a space where the most important proof points are often under NDA — and can translate Marvell's platform differentiation across advanced SerDes, custom HBM, die-to-die interconnects, silicon photonics, and advanced packaging into credible, market-facing thought leadership.Product Marketing & Outbound StrategyOwn the full outbound marketing strategy for Marvell's custom silicon portfolio — including custom XPUs, XPU attach solutions (NICs, CXL controllers, PCIe retimers, co-processors), and the advanced technology platform that enables Marvell's hyperscaler co-design partnerships — building Marvell's market leadership narrative while navigating the unique challenge of driving awareness in a business defined by confidential customer relationships.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 LeadershipBuild and execute a technology marketing strategy that establishes Marvell as the recognized leader in custom cloud silicon — spanning custom XPUs, XPU attach, and the advanced IP platform that enables next-generation AI accelerators — translating deep technical differentiation into market-defining narratives that build Marvell's leadership position with hyperscalers, emerging cloud operators, and the broader AI infrastructure ecosystem, while respecting the confidentiality requirements inherent to co-design partnerships.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 InfluenceServe 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 ForBS degree required; a degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline is highly preferred.
