Director, GTM Engagement & Governance Operations

About the role

We Are Synopsys is the leader in engineering solutions from silicon to systems, enabling customers to rapidly innovate AI-powered products. We deliver industry-leading silicon design, IP, simulation and analysis solutions, and design services. We partner closely with our customers across a wide range of industries to maximize their R&D capability and productivity, powering innovation today that ignites the ingenuity of tomorrow. You Are You have spent a decade learning that the difference between chaos and clarity in a complex organization is usually one person who refuses to let things slip. You know how to protect executive time like it is a finite resource because it is, and you have developed an understanding for what deserves a spot on the calendar and what does not. You think in systems, not tasks. When you see five different teams trying to get early access to the same constrained technology, you do not just route the requests, you build the framework that makes the next hundred decisions easier. You have run governance processes that governed, not the kind that existed on paper while everyone worked around them. Ambiguity does not slow you down, you prioritize and you close the loop. At Synopsys, you will own the operating engine that keeps our most critical executive engagements, review cycles, and runs beta programs clean.

• Stand up and run a cross-functional GTM Advisory Council that brings together thought leaders across business units to hash out best practices, debate how things should work, and turn talk into actual standards people follow
• Build and run the governance framework for controlled demand and beta programs across EDA Software, EDA Hardware, IP, and Simulation & Analysis, balancing customer asks against what we can deliver
• Partner with Product, field teams, and business unit leaders to evaluate, prioritize, and allocate early-access opportunities to the customers who matter most
• Drive content readiness checks and briefing quality gates so every review meeting starts on strategy, on time, and with the right people ready
• Turn meeting outputs into crisp decision logs and action items that people use and follow through on
