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.

- Partner closely with engineering and product leadership to define feature scope, negotiate tradeoffs, sequence investments, and deliver solutions that meet both GDC needs and broader NetApp customer requirements.
- Translate customer, partner, and field input into clear problem statements, requirements, user stories, success metrics, and adoption plans.
- Identify new use cases, adoption blockers, and footprint expansion opportunities for ONTAP and NetApp portfolio capabilities in enterprise, edge, regulated, and sovereign environments.
- Use competitive, market, partner, and customer insights to influence roadmap decisions, investment priorities, and business outcomes.
- Use AI tools thoughtfully to improve research, synthesis, requirements, analysis, and communication while maintaining clear product judgment and ownership.
- Represent NetApp in customer engagements, partner meetings, executive briefings, and internal roadmap discussions.

Data privacy
We care about your privacy and, therefore, ask that you read our Candidate Privacy Notice before you submit any personal information to us.
NetApp does not carry out any solely automated decision making (i.e. the process of making a decision by automated means without any human involvement) in determining your suitability or eligibility for specific roles.
However, the processing of your personal information is carried out with the aid of manual and automated tools. In particular, NetApp may use an automated employment evaluation tool or similar tool as one of several tools, actions, and/or steps to assist with NetApp’s review of candidate applications for various hiring needs.
Currently, when addressing certain hiring needs, NetApp uses the following tools:
- Eightfold (eightfold.ai): This tool can provide an initial ranking of a candidate’s skills and experience, based on information provided by the applicant in the application and/or supporting documentation, in comparison to the NetApp designated key requirements of a specific role. Additionally, the tool may be used to help review and/or rank internal employees seeking promotion or other internal mobility. An independent audit of the Eightfold Matching Model tool can be found at https://eightfold.ai/nyc-eightfoldmatching-model.
- Findem (findem.ai): This tool is used to help identify candidates whose skills and experience may be relevant to open roles at NetApp, using publicly available professional information. Findem may also be used to assist with candidate matching, AI-assisted screening, and recruitment communications.
Our talent acquisition team or our recruiters will ultimately select the candidates for further consideration, following human review of any automated evaluation results and associated underlying documentation (or lack thereof) submitted with the candidates’ application.
Candidates may request an alternative selection process which will not be subject to the Eightfold matching tool or to any electronic automated employment evaluation by contacting NetApp at careers@netapp.com. To bypass the Eightfold matching tool or any electronic automated employment evaluation, you must include a resume and job ID with your email to careers@netapp.com and you must include in the subject line of your email: Data Privacy Request. Candidates who have questions or want to request additional information on the source of data, type of data, and/or collection of data related to the candidate review process should contact NetApp at careers@netapp.com
Note: Eightfold is not applicable to temporary hiring opportunities. If you are interested in temporary roles, you can apply via a third-party site managed by our preferred supplier, Magnit Global. Magnit Global will provide its own privacy disclosures for your review as part of the application process.
