About the Role

NetApp is hiring a Principal Product Leader to own the AI product strategy for Azure NetApp Files (ANF)—a first-party, fully managed enterprise file service on Microsoft Azure delivered in deep partnership with Microsoft. In the spirit of NetApp's "business builder" cloud roles, you will translate a fast-moving AI landscape into differentiated platform capabilities, joint roadmap bets with Microsoft, and enterprise outcomes.

You will sit at the intersection of enterprise storage, Azure AI infrastructure, and industry AI workloads. Your mission is to ensure ANF is positioned and built as a strategic data foundation for training, inference, RAG, analytics, simulation, and agentic workflows. Crucially, you will achieve this without forcing customers to abandon enterprise file semantics, protection, or hybrid operating models. You will define a multi-year AI vision, turn emerging patterns like LLMs and vector retrieval into concrete product requirements, and balance hyperscaler co-development constraints with NetApp differentiation.

Why You'll Thrive

At NetApp, you won't wait for the perfect moment—you'll make it. The early planning, the extra thought, and the bold ideas that turn good into great are how our people operate. We embrace a hybrid working environment designed to strengthen connection, collaboration, and culture for all employees. Most roles will have some level of in-office and/or in-person expectations, which will be shared during the recruitment process.
