NVIDIA's Enterprise Infrastructure organization is seeking a Senior Director, Enterprise Networking to lead the strategy, architecture, deployment, and operations of NVIDIA's global enterprise network. This is a critical leadership role responsible for the end-to-end network that connects NVIDIA's offices, campuses, HPC data centers, labs, and cloud environments worldwide. As NVIDIA scales at an unprecedented pace to power the AI revolution, this leader will drive Agentic AI-based transformation of our enterprise network to match the velocity, reliability, and security demands of the world's leading AI company.

What you'll be doing:

• Set the technical vision, strategy, and multi-year roadmap for the global enterprise network, spanning on-prem and cloud environments.

• Lead the design, deployment, and operation of wired/wireless office networks, campus edge, and robust SD-WAN/POP/WAN architecture for resilient global connectivity leveraging Agentic AI.

• Drive HPC data center networking, including high-speed interconnects, spine-leaf fabrics, and capacity planning for GPU-dense research and engineering infrastructure.

• Architect and manage on-ramp to cloud connectivity, including direct peering, interconnects, and hybrid network integration with major CSPs (AWS, Azure, GCP).

• Oversee network firewall and security infrastructure, including NGFW, segmentation, micro-segmentation, NAC, and Zero Trust access, in partnership with Cybersecurity.

• Establish agentic, data-driven, SRE-oriented operating model with well-defined SLOs, observability, automation, and continuous improvement across all network domains.

• Build, mentor, and scale a globally distributed engineering organization spanning architecture, design, deployments, and network site reliability engineering, transforming team and processes to leverage agentic AI.

• Partner cross-functionally (IT, Security, Real Estate, Facilities, Cloud Engineering) to ensure network readiness for all business needs, and represent networking at the executive level by translating complexity into business outcomes and investment priorities.

What we need to see:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related technical field, or equivalent experience

• 18+ years of overall experience in network engineering, architecture, and operations, with 10+ years of leadership experience managing large, geographically distributed network teams

• Deep expertise across enterprise networking domains: LAN/WLAN, WAN/SD-WAN, data center networking, campus edge, network security, and cloud connectivity

• Proven track record of transforming network operations at scale — moving from traditional NOC models to modern, software-driven SRE and agentic AI first approaches

• Experience operating networks in hyperscale or large enterprise environments with thousands of network devices across multiple geographies

• Strong command of network security architecture, including NGFW, NAC (ISE/similar), network segmentation, IPsec VPN, and Zero Trust principles

• Demonstrated ability to build and develop high-performing teams, including hiring, mentoring, and succession planning across multiple management layers

• Exceptional executive communication skills — able to translate technical infrastructure priorities into business language for senior leadership

• Experience managing vendor relationships and technology evaluations across networking platforms (Arista, Cisco, Juniper/Mist, Palo Alto, Aryaka, or similar)
