Grounded in a culture of innovation and collaboration, we believe real progress comes from bold ideas, human ingenuity and a shared passion to create something extraordinary.

THE ROLE:

AMD is expanding our Enterprise and Public sector Sales organization and seeking a high-impact Director of Inside Sales to build and lead a brand-new North America Inside Sales team from the ground up. This leader will shape the inside sales vision, structure, and operating model—driving revenue growth across enterprise, public sector, and SMB customers while accelerating demand for AMD's commercial client PCs, data center compute, and AI-enabled solutions.

You will manage both groups as one cohesive engine, ensuring smooth execution, consistent quality, and high performance. While outsourced resources will help scale quickly, the long-term strategy is to progressively bring capabilities in-house, and this leader will guide that evolution.

This is a highly visible leadership role that combines team building, operational rigor, and strategic execution.
