At NetApp, your ideas power innovation. We lead in intelligent data infrastructure, delivering unified storage, integrated data services, and solutions that help organizations unlock the full potential of their data, from AI to multicloud. As the only enterprise-grade storage service natively embedded in Google Cloud, AWS, and Microsoft Azure, we empower customers to run everything from traditional workloads to enterprise AI with unmatched performance, resilience, and security.
We are on a path to $10B in revenue, and we need passionate teams to tackle real-world challenges and see their impact in how customers transform and grow. At NetApp, you won't wait for the perfect moment—you'll make it. We celebrate mold breakers, bold thinkers, and problem solvers who reward initiative, impact, and ownership. Here, differences are not just welcomed—they drive everything we do.
NetApp is hiring a principal-level 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 between NetApp and 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, ensuring ANF is positioned and built as a strategic data foundation for training, inference, RAG, analytics, simulation, and agentic workflows. Your mission is to enable these capabilities without forcing customers to abandon enterprise file semantics, protection, or hybrid operating models. This role requires a highly strategic and deeply technical leader who can define multi-year AI vision, turn emerging patterns into concrete product requirements, and balance hyperscaler co-development constraints with NetApp differentiation.
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. We provide flexibility so you can balance professional ambition with your personal life. If you're ready to innovate, rise to the challenge, and own every moment, NetApp is where your journey begins.
