The Platform team builds the core capabilities that enable customers to run enterprise storage, data management, and modern infrastructure across on-prem, edge, regulated, sovereign, and emerging AI environments.
NetApp is seeking a Senior Product Manager to drive strategy, prioritization, and execution for core ONTAP Platform capabilities, while also supporting critical initiatives across the Google Distributed Cloud (GDC).
This role combines strong product management expertise with a practical understanding of enterprise storage systems, customer requirements, technical use cases, and go-to-market execution. The successful candidate will work closely with engineering, product leadership, customers, partners, field teams, and PMs across NetApp to define roadmap priorities, negotiate tradeoffs, and translate customer and market requirements into scalable ONTAP platform capabilities.
A key part of the role will be partnering across the NetApp product portfolio to support GDC requirements, unlock new customer use cases, and identify platform dependencies and opportunities that extend beyond individual products. The PM will help connect strategic customer requirements to broader NetApp platform priorities and ensure that investments can benefit both GDC and the wider NetApp customer base.
The role will also help shape future infrastructure requirements driven by the rapid growth of AI workloads, including evolving needs around performance, scale, data access, automation, Kubernetes, distributed infrastructure, and cloud-like operating models. The PM will work across NetApp product teams to identify where ONTAP platform capabilities need to evolve to support next-generation AI and data-intensive workloads while continuing to meet enterprise requirements for resiliency, security, scale, and efficiency. The role is expected to unlock new use cases, expand NetApp’s footprint, and support customers that need modern infrastructure experiences in on-prem, edge, regulated, or sovereign environments.

- Identify new use cases, adoption blockers, and footprint expansion opportunities for ONTAP and NetApp portfolio capabilities in enterprise, edge, regulated, and sovereign environments.
