Strategy Operations Manager Jobs in Santa Clara, CA

INTRODUCTION

NVIDIA is looking for a Director of Strategic Marketing Operations to serve as the operational right hand to the Chief Marketing Officer. This is a high-velocity, high-impact role for someone who can manage a constant stream of incoming priorities and turn them into clear, executable plans. You will serve as both a senior ops lead and Chief of Staff. Your role is to keep the marketing organization active, aligned, engaged, and moving at the rapid pace NVIDIA requires.

ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Drive the operational rhythm for the Marketing and Corporate Communications Leadership Staff, including leadership syncs, reviews, and decision forums.
Represent the CMO in high-level cross-functional meetings, synthesizing complex discussions into actionable briefs and driving follow-through.
Propose and align process improvements that accelerate the mission.
Ensure tight operational alignment between Marketing and cross-functional teams including Engineering, Research, Product, Go-to-Market, Finance, and HR teams.
Spearhead ambiguous, high-priority, or sensitive initiatives that fall between traditional team boundaries, incubating them until they can be handed off to a permanent owner.
Improve organizational alignment by removing inter-team roadblocks, process bottlenecks, and strategic disconnects.
Facilitate executive participation, speaking opportunities, and executive thought leadership/social media at external forums to amplify NVIDIA's vision and market presence.
Advocate for the internal embrace of generative AI tools and automated workflows within the marketing organization to consistently increase output and efficiency.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

12+ years of demonstrated experience overall, including more than 5 years serving as Chief of Staff and leadership experience in strategy, business operations, or senior leadership positions.
Bachelors, and Master’s degree or equivalent experience.
Proven track record of operating successfully in warp speed, highly ambiguous, hyper-growth, and deeply technical environments.
Willingness to adapt quickly and learn new skills; eager to dive in and architect new operational capabilities while leading collaborative initiatives across departments.
Deep AI proficiency, with hands-on experience building agentic workflows (e.g., using Codex, Claude, Gemini Enterprise or custom LLM frameworks) to automate complex business processes.
Familiarity with AI Infrastructure and tech ecosystems.
Outstanding written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to distill technical concepts into compelling executive narratives.
A master collaborator who can influence without authority, build trust, and manage conflicting priorities with grace.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

A background that blends technical literacy (e.g., former engineer or technical PM) with a sharp instinct for brand, storytelling, and market positioning.
An obsession with operational design—someone who views "process" not as bureaucracy, but as a way to liberate creativity and speed.
* An ability to bring happiness and laughter to intense work environments.
