In conjunction with the Computing and Graphics PR Director, from an external perspective, this role includes managing relationships with and supporting NA press, driving coverage and pickup via traditional media, bloggers, non-traditional content creators, and YouTubers, reflecting key product messages and AMD thought leadership.

Internally, this role would work with our business units and marketing teams to secure product/technology messaging, collateral and content to drive product launches and momentum campaigns for key products.

In addition, the role oversees press sampling strategy across the Client and Graphics portfolios, ensuring alignment between business goals, marketing plans, and regional execution across North America and regions.

THE PERSON

You are a strategic, collaborative communicator who excels at working across complex organizations to bring structure, clarity, and focus to competing priorities.

You bring strong judgment and influence, enabling you to guide business units and marketing teams toward shared PR objectives, clear deliverables, and disciplined execution. You think globally while accounting for regional nuance, and you are motivated by building frameworks and processes that help teams succeed.

In this role, you will have meaningful impact across North America with global reach, helping AMD better align its internal priorities with external storytelling and strengthening how the company presents its technology leadership to the market.
