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).

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.
