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.

Own the full lifecycle of Executive Review Meetings, Management Review Meetings, and Technical Review Meetings, from intake and triage through briefing prep, logistics, and making sure decisions stick Manage and protect the calendars of multiple senior executives, deciding what get’s through and what does not when everyone wants the same hour 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 The Impact You Will Have Executive time becomes a strategic asset, because you built the system that protects it and allocates it with discipline Review meetings shift from status updates to decision forums because you made sure people showed up prepared Cross-functional alignment improves because the GTM Advisory Council you run becomes the place where operating standards get decided and adopted Senior leaders trust the process you run because nothing falls through the cracks, follow-through happens automatically, and the briefings they see are worth their time Field teams and product organizations know how to engage with constrained resources because you created a governance model that is clear, fair, and gets followed The operating engine you own, scales as AI-driven demand accelerates, because you designed it to handle complexity without breaking What You'll Need Bachelor's degree and 10+ years of senior-level program management or operations experience, ideally in a complex, matrixed organization Proven track record running executive-level governance, review processes, or PMO functions at scale where the stakes were high and the stakeholders were senior Track record of influencing across functions and business units without formal authority, moving decisions forward through clarity and credibility Exceptional prioritization and stakeholder management skills,
