NVIDIA Partner Marketing Manager

Job Description

DDN is hiring a Strategic Alliance Marketing Manager dedicated exclusively to our NVIDIA partnership. This high-impact role owns the end-to-end marketing relationship with NVIDIA, drives joint go-to-market execution, and accelerates DDN’s visibility and preference across NVIDIA’s sales, solution architect, and marketing organizations.

Key Responsibilities

• Co-develop and own the annual joint marketing plan with NVIDIA marketing, field, and partner leadership teams, including target verticals, use-case priorities (GenAI, LLM training/inference, etc.), and mutual pipeline/revenue commitments.
• Build and execute the integrated marketing plan encompassing NVIDIA-led campaigns (e.g., GTC, AI Summit series), co-funded programs, and NVIDIA partner portal/eco-system activations.
• Secure and manage NVIDIA MDF/co-op funds and ensure 100% utilization against agreed KPIs.
• Lead quarterly business reviews (QBRs) with NVIDIA stakeholders to report results, refine strategy, and expand joint investment.

NVIDIA Relationship & Influence

• Act as DDN’s primary marketing point of contact for NVIDIA worldwide and regional teams.
• Build deep, trusted relationships with NVIDIA partner managers, solution architects, field marketing, and campaign teams to increase DDN mindshare and inclusion in NVIDIA opportunities.
• Influence NVIDIA priorities so DDN solutions are featured in key NVIDIA programs, reference architectures, and customer briefings.

Joint Messaging, Content & Solution Positioning

• Own the DDN + NVIDIA joint value proposition and narrative for DGX, HGX, GB200 NVL72, and enterprise GPU deployments at scale.
• Create and maintain co-branded assets: solution briefs, performance whitepapers, reference architectures, pitch decks, battlecards, and video content.
• Ensure DDN is positioned as the storage layer of choice in all relevant NVIDIA AI solution stacks.

Demand Generation & Pipeline Acceleration

• Execute high-impact co-marketing programs: GTC presence, joint webinars, ABM campaigns targeting NVIDIA DGX Cloud and on-prem customers, digital syndication, and nurture streams.
• Drive co-sell alignment with NVIDIA field teams and track partner-sourced/influenced pipeline in Salesforce/PRM systems.
• Activate NVIDIA partner program benefits (NPN portal listings, deal registration incentives, performance rebates, etc.) to maximize revenue uplift.

Required Experience

• 7–10 years in partner/alliance marketing within the AI, GPU, or high-performance computing ecosystem.
• Direct experience managing marketing relationships with NVIDIA strongly preferred; experience with other hyperscalers or tier-one AI vendors also valued.
• Proven track record of securing and executing six- and seven-figure MDF/co-op programs with measurable pipeline and ROI.
• Deep understanding of NVIDIA’s partner programs (NPN Advantage/Elite), DGX platforms, and AI infrastructure sales motions.
• Exceptional influence, communication, and program management skills in complex, matrixed environments.
