Product Marketing Manager - Security

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).

Prioritize investments across performance, scale, data services, protocol and API surfaces, and operational excellence for AI pipelines. Training and inference data planes (high throughput, low latency, checkpointing, bursty I/O) Agentic workflows and orchestration (durable shared state, tool/data access patterns—where productized responsibly) Large multimodal and enterprise datasets (governance, access control, lifecycle) 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. 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.

Market intelligence & evangelism Monitor AI infrastructure trends (models, frameworks, orchestration, data formats) and competitor moves; Tailor AI storage strategy for segments where file semantics and performance matter, for example: semiconductor/EDA, manufacturing, healthcare imaging, financial services, energy, media & entertainment, and HPC/simulation—including compliance and data residency realities.

Common Interview Questions And Answers

1. HOW DO YOU PLAN YOUR DAY?

This is what this question poses: When do you focus and start working seriously? What are the hours you work optimally? Are you a night owl? A morning bird? Remote teams can be made up of people working on different shifts and around the world, so you won't necessarily be stuck in the 9-5 schedule if it's not for you...

2. HOW DO YOU USE THE DIFFERENT COMMUNICATION TOOLS IN DIFFERENT SITUATIONS?

When you're working on a remote team, there's no way to chat in the hallway between meetings or catch up on the latest project during an office carpool. Therefore, virtual communication will be absolutely essential to get your work done...

3. WHAT IS "WORKING REMOTE" REALLY FOR YOU?

Many people want to work remotely because of the flexibility it allows. You can work anywhere and at any time of the day...

4. WHAT DO YOU NEED IN YOUR PHYSICAL WORKSPACE TO SUCCEED IN YOUR WORK?
