Job Summary

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 (performance, data locality, governance, and time-to-value for AI pipelines). 

 

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—without forcing customers to abandon enterprise file semantics, protection, or hybrid operating models.

Define multi-year AI vision and roadmap for ANF in the context of Azure AI services, GPU estates, data platforms, and regulated enterprise environments. 

Turn emerging patterns (LLMs, RAG, agents, orchestration, multimodal data, vector retrieval, high-throughput checkpointing) into concrete product requirements and joint go-to-market narratives with Microsoft. 

Balance hyperscaler co-development constraints with NetApp differentiation (enterprise data services, multiprotocol access, lifecycle management, resiliency, and cross-cloud consistency where relevant). 

Responsibilities

AI strategy & roadmap 

Own end-to-end AI strategy for ANF: problem selection, success metrics, phased delivery, and competitive positioning vs. other Azure and AI-native storage options. Prioritize investments across performance, scale, data services, protocol and API surfaces, and operational excellence for AI pipelines. 

 

Workload-led product definition 

Drive requirements for AI-centric scenarios, including: 

Training and inference data planes (high throughput, low latency, checkpointing, bursty I/O) RAG and enterprise search (datasets, versioning, clones, refresh patterns) Agentic workflows and orchestration (durable shared state, tool/data access patterns—where productized responsibly) Large multimodal and enterprise datasets (governance, access control, lifecycle) Analytics and simulation adjacencies (HPC/EDA-style throughput, shared filesystem semantics) 

 

Hyperscaler & ecosystem partnership 

Partner with Microsoft teams across Azure AI / Foundry, Azure Machine Learning, AKS / container platforms, GPU infrastructure, data/analytics (e.g. Databricks-style patterns on Azure), and core Azure storage/networking dependencies. Align ANF’s AI story with Azure-wide AI data guidance and reference architectures, and feed real customer workload evidence back into joint planning. 

 

Cross-functional leadership 

Lead across engineering, product marketing, sales, customer success, and professional services to ship capabilities and repeatable reference architectures / proof points. Engage strategic customers and design partners to validate pain, quantify value, and de-risk roadmap bets.

Job Summary

 

This role leads the adoption of AI-native workflows and agentic systems across product management, design, engineering, and the operating rhythm that surrounds them, translating enterprise AI strategy into the programs, capabilities, and practices that product and engineering teams use day to day. Change management is the central craft of the role: leading adoption motions inside the CPO organization and partnering across GTM, security, and compliance to ensure AI-native workflows land cleanly at every touchpoint. 

 

Through AI adoption, the role delivers 2-3× productivity gains across the lifecycle and 33-50% lift in engineering velocity, product throughput, and revenue efficiency. This work spans AI-assisted product discovery and prioritization, design and specification, code generation and review, test and documentation automation, and NPI readiness. This leader will drive and define the lifecycle-scoped governance and cost-control practices that make adoption defensible: acceptable use, model approval, cost metering and chargeback, and the risk posture for agentic systems. 

Key Responsibilities

 

Define and lead the framework, success criteria, operating plan, and roadmap for the agentic AI and AI-native capabilities that the CPO organization will build and adopt - including prioritization, sequencing, and translation of enterprise AI strategy into executable workstreams across product discovery, design, engineering, operations, and NPI.Lead a team to reimagine the product and engineering operating system with AI - applying AI-native decision support to roadmap prioritization, budget and resource allocation, portfolio management, and the rhythm of the business.Drive AI adoption and change management inside the CPO organization - enablement, ways-of-working evolution, and the cross-functional partnership with GTM, security, and compliance.Own the AI-driven workflow strategy across the product development lifecycle, defining how AI assistants and agents are introduced, scaled, and retired across PM, design, engineering, and operations teams.Provide vision and direction to direct team and cross-functional stakeholders, translating strategy into multi-functional objectives.Lead the AI agent program across the lifecycle - defining success metrics and criteria for agents spanning discovery, design, code review, test, documentation, planning, and NPI.Identify, prototype, and launch high-impact AI use cases that demonstrate measurable productivity and financial impact across the lifecycle.Define the platform strategy for internal AI capabilities so product teams consume shared, paved-road infrastructure rather than building bespoke AI plumbing.Establish metering, chargeback, and optimization standards that keep AI costs sustainable across product and engineering workloads.Shape the longer-horizon operating model for an agent-augmented product organization as autonomous agents take on a greater scope of work. Education and Experience

 

10+ years of strategic and people leadership experience across product management, digital transformation, or engineering-adjacent roles, with demonstrated ownership of end-to-end transformation programs from strategy through adoption and measurable impact. Proven success leading and implementing strategic AI or digital adoption at scale, including redesign of operating models, workflows, and governance—not just tool deployment. Experience may come from top-tier consulting practices, internal AI or platform teams at scaled technology companies, or senior operating roles at AI‑first startups. Hands-on fluency with modern AI and agent tooling, including LLMs, coding assistants, and agent or orchestration frameworks, with the ability to make credible technical and architectural judgments. Strong change management and stakeholder leadership skills, with experience partnering across product, engineering, GTM, security, legal, and compliance to land AI-native workflows responsibly. Demonstrated ability to operate in high-ambiguity environments, define problems and success criteria, and drive alignment among senior leaders as evidence and direction evolve; strong experience leading change management initiatives.Exceptional leadership and people management skills, with the ability to inspire and lead high-performing, cross-functional teams and drive accountability. 

Compensation:
The target salary range for this position is 266,050 - 396,000 USD.

Job Summary

 

This role partners with leaders across NetApp to apply AI-native ways of working to high-value processes inside the company. The work is hands-on and engagement-based: partner with a team to understand how their work runs today, design a future state where AI agents accelerate and augment the work, build and pilot the solution, and partner with the team to make the new way of working durable. 

 

The role applies product management discipline — diagnosis, prioritization, specification, iteration, and measurement — to the design and delivery of agent-driven workflows. The unit of delivery is a working solution adopted by a partner team, not a roadmap or a recommendation. 

 

The role sits within the Agentic Product Management team under the VP, Analytics Growth and AI Native Engineering, and reports to the Director, Agentic Product Management. The team works in close partnership with platform engineering, security, and compliance to ensure that the workflows we ship are safe, auditable, and scalable. 

 

A few principles shape how the team approaches its work: 

We start from outcomes, not from tasks. The first question on any engagement is what the process is for and what good looks like, not how to automate the current steps.We deliver working solutions, not recommendations. Every engagement ends with a prototype that real users can run.We design with audit trails. Every workflow is inspectable: which agent did what, against what input, with what reasoning.We expand trust deliberately. Agents start with bounded authority, and authority grows as evidence accumulates. Key Responsibilities

 

Partner with the team that owns the process. Build the relationship with the leader and the operators who do the work today. Conduct working sessions to understand inputs, outputs, decision points, tools, cycle time, and the moments where the work most often gets stuck. Produce a current-state view that the partner team agrees is accurate.Define the outcome. Work with the partner-team leader to articulate what the process is actually trying to achieve and what good would look like. Identify which steps require human judgment, which serve regulatory or customer-facing purposes, and which exist because of tooling constraints. Quantify the prize: hours returned, cycle time reduced, quality improved, or capacity unlocked.Design the future state. Produce a future-state design that uses agents to accelerate and augment the work, with humans engaged where their judgment, relationships, or accountability are essential. The design specifies the agents involved, the data they read and write, the tools they use, the decision rights they hold, the escalation paths to humans, and the controls that govern their behavior.Build the prototype. Build a working version of the future-state design, hands-on, in code. Use Cursor, Claude Code, and the other AI development tools available to the team. The prototype is the artifact that proves the design is real and ready for first users.Pilot with first users. Run the prototype with a defined set of first users in the partner organization. Train them, support them, gather structured feedback, and iterate. Document what works, what does not, and what needs to change before the workflow runs at scale.Define the governance. Specify the audit trail, the cost controls, the escalation triggers, the access scope, and the trust-progression criteria that allow the workflow to operate inside NetApp’s security, legal, and compliance posture.
