NVIDIA Ecosystem Project Manager

About the Role

We're seeking a seasoned Technical Project Manager with deep expertise in the NVIDIA ecosystem to serve as the technical and operational backbone of a client engagement — from pre-sales discussions through final delivery and project close-out. This is a billable, client-facing role requiring someone who can operate at a high level across technical, operational, and business conversations simultaneously. You'll act as the connective tissue between sales, engineering, technical teams, and the client — ensuring nothing falls through the cracks and everyone stays aligned from day one through go-live.

This isn't a traditional PM role limited to timelines and status updates. You need to genuinely understand what's being built, deployed, or integrated at a technical level (NVIDIA hardware, software stack, AI/GPU infrastructure, etc.) well enough to translate between technical teams and business stakeholders, anticipate risks, and keep the project moving.

Key Responsibilities

• Serve as the single point of continuity for the project, engaged from initial pre-sales conversations through full delivery and project completion
• Participate in pre-sales technical discussions, helping scope engagements, assess feasibility, and translate client needs into actionable project plans
• Act as the primary liaison bridging technical teams (engineers, architects, NVIDIA specialists) and operational/business stakeholders (client leadership, sales, account management)
• Maintain a high-level, working understanding of the technical solution being delivered (NVIDIA hardware/software, GPU infrastructure, AI/ML systems, networking, or related technologies) — enough to speak credibly in technical conversations without necessarily doing the hands-on engineering work
• Develop and manage project plans, timelines, resource allocation, and budgets throughout the engagement lifecycle
• Identify risks, dependencies, and blockers early, and proactively drive resolution across teams
• Facilitate regular status meetings, technical syncs, and executive updates with both internal teams and the client
• Ensure consistent, clear communication and documentation across all phases (pre-sales, scoping, implementation, delivery, closeout)
• Manage scope changes, escalations, and cross-team coordination to keep the project on time and on budget
• Own the client relationship day-to-day, ensuring expectations are managed and trust is maintained throughout the engagement
• Coordinate with NVIDIA (and/or NVIDIA partner) resources as needed for technical alignment, product updates, or escalations
• Drive project closeout activities, including documentation handoff, lessons learned, and transition to support/operations

Requirements

• 7 years of project management experience, with significant time spent in technical program/project management roles
• Demonstrated, hands-on experience within the NVIDIA ecosystem — this could include NVIDIA hardware (GPUs, DGX systems), software stack (CUDA, AI Enterprise, Omniverse, etc.), or infrastructure/deployment projects involving NVIDIA technology
• Proven ability to operate across the full project lifecycle — from pre-sales/scoping through delivery and closeout — not just execution-phase PM work
• Strong technical fluency: able to understand and discuss architecture, infrastructure, and technical trade-offs at a high level, even without being the hands-on technical implementer
• Excellent stakeholder management skills — comfortable working with C-level executives, technical engineers, and everyone in between
• Experience acting as a "bridge" role between technical and non-technical teams, translating complexity into clear, actionable communication
• Strong track record managing complex, multi-stakeholder projects with competing priorities and tight timelines
• PMP, PMI-ACP, or similar project management certification (preferred, not always required if experience is strong)
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills; comfortable presenting to clients and leadership
• Experience working in a billable/consulting capacity, understanding how to manage scope, time tracking, and client billing expectations
• Ability to travel to client sites as needed for the engagement

Preferred Qualifications

• Direct experience with NVIDIA AI infrastructure deployments, data center/GPU cluster projects, or NVIDIA partner ecosystem engagements
• Background in systems integration, IT infrastructure, or AI/ML project delivery
• Existing relationships or familiarity with NVIDIA's partner/certification programs
• Experience in a system integrator (SI), consulting, or professional services environment
• Familiarity with project management tools (Smartsheet, MS Project, Jira, Asana) and reporting frameworks
