MinIO is the industry leader in high-performance object storage and the company behind the world’s fastest, most widely deployed object store, powering production infrastructure for more than half of the Fortune 500, including 9 of the 10 largest global automakers and all 10 of the largest U.S. banks. Our enterprise offering, AIStor, is engineered to handle the scale, speed, and pressure of modern AI and analytics, from terabytes to exabytes, all in a single namespace.
The Senior Product Marketing Manager, NVIDIA Partnership will play a pivotal role in shaping how MinIO is positioned within the NVIDIA ecosystem and the broader AI infrastructure stack. This role combines deep technical fluency in GPU-accelerated AI infrastructure with hands-on product marketing ownership of MinIO's most strategic partnership. You will be responsible for understanding how MinIO fits into NVIDIA's reference architectures and the modern inference stack, and translating that knowledge into differentiated messaging, joint content, and go to market strategies that resonate with AI infrastructure buyers, platform engineers, and the field teams selling alongside NVIDIA.
You will collaborate with Engineering, Product Management, Sales, Alliances, and counterparts at NVIDIA to craft and deliver the narratives that position MinIO at the center of the modern AI infrastructure stack. This includes building the technical messaging, integration content, and partner co-marketing programs that articulate joint value and help our sales organization close business with NVIDIA-aligned customers.
What You Will Do:
- NVIDIA Partnership Narrative: Own the messaging and content that defines MinIO's role in the NVIDIA AI Factory across NVIDIA products. Translate joint engineering work into co-marketing assets, reference architecture content, and customer-facing narratives.
- Inference Framework Integrations: Develop the technical positioning and content for MinIO's integrations with NVIDIA technologies.
- Partner Co-Marketing: Partner with NVIDIA's marketing and product teams, and with adjacent ecosystem players, to plan and execute joint launches, joint content, joint events, and co-branded technical assets. Align launch cadence and messaging with NVIDIA's roadmap milestones.
- Solutions Marketing for Integration Use Cases: Build solutions content that shows how MinIO and NVIDIA infrastructure solve specific customer problems, including agentic inference at scale, multimodal training pipelines, KV cache offload, and large-context serving.
- Product Launch Execution: Drive the GTM strategy and execution for AIStor and MemKV launches that touch the NVIDIA ecosystem. Coordinate cross-functionally with Product Management, Engineering, Field, Sales, and Communications to land launches that move pipeline.
- Field Enablement: Build and deliver the enablement content (battlecards, talk tracks, customer presentations, technical briefs) that lets sales engineers and account teams confidently sell MinIO into NVIDIA-led opportunities and to AI infrastructure buyers.
