Product Manager, Internal Project Management Platforms

NVIDIA NVIDIA · Semiconductors · Santa Clara, CA +1 · Remote

Product Manager for internal planning and delivery platforms used across silicon development at NVIDIA. The role focuses on defining strategy, evolving the platform to support diverse operating models, driving workflow standardization, and improving engineering velocity and program execution.

What you'd actually do

  1. Define the product vision and strategy for internal roadmap and execution platforms, aligning the platform with Hardware Infrastructure’s mission and diverse engineering workflows.
  2. Evolve the platform to support multiple execution models and frameworks (agile, waterfall, hybrid), creating a consistent framework for planning, tracking, and risk management while accommodating team-specific workflows.
  3. Drive workflow standardization and guidelines, balancing flexibility with clarity to reduce friction, enable alignment, and improve predictability of program execution.
  4. Conduct user discovery, mapping, and analysis across teams to identify friction points, workflow gaps, and chances to improve usability and efficiency.
  5. Define product requirements and success metrics (ex: adoption within target workflows, reduction in manual coordination, alignment of schedules, risk visibility) to guide prioritization and measure impact.
