You have spent two decades earning trust at the highest levels of the semiconductor industry, especially with major foundry accounts, and you know that every relationship is built on technical credibility and business acumen. You do not just "manage" a key account-you know their product cycles, their leadership team, and the unwritten rules that shape their decisions. You spot shifts in the market before they show up in the numbers, and you thrive on the challenge of navigating multi-year, multi-million-dollar engagements where politics, technology, and timing all matter. You are the person who can walk into a foundry's executive suite and speak their language, whether you are talking yield improvement or negotiating a tricky renewal. You never wait for someone else to connect the dots; you coordinate, escalate, and act, always with the customer's business goals and Synopsys' long-term value in mind. You want to be the name people mention when they talk about the partnerships that move the industry forward.

• Willingness and ability to travel to customer sites and industry events regionally and globally
• Fluency in Mandarin and English is a plus for communicating with both local and international stakeholders

• You can walk into a foundry's QBR and pivot the conversation when the agenda shifts, keeping the meeting productive and strategic
• You translate technical product value into business outcomes for executive decision makers who care about both PPA and ROI
• You do not get rattled by tough negotiations; you know when to push, when to listen, and when to escalate internally
• You keep your pipeline transparent and your forecasts accurate, never sandbagging or overcommitting
• You build trust quickly, internally and externally, by following up and following through
• You see the big picture and connect it to the details that actually close deals
