About the role

NetApp is an enterprise storage and data infrastructure company, and its storage services are natively embedded in Google Cloud, AWS, and Microsoft Azure. The Technical Program Manager will drive medium-sized software releases from development through production, coordinating cross-functional release teams and tracking progress with release tools and metrics. The role also involves exploring AI-enabled automation to streamline release workflows.

What you will do

  • Own the plan: Lead releases on schedule and with quality through the program life cycle. Lead schedule and resource planning to meet product requirements; plan, track, and manage scope, schedule, cost, resources, and risk; and merge disparate team and component plans into a single release plan.
  • Manage risk: Identify risks to schedule, content, or quality, communicate them early, and develop mitigation plans. Know when help is needed and seek it.
  • Execute and go live: Work with engineers and DevOps teams to understand the impact of branches and code merges; coordinate release-branch fixes and publish releases; lead and coordinate Go-Live activities and decisions, including deployment plans and checklists; and follow NetApp release and phase-review processes.
  • Use tools and metrics well: Use release tools and processes correctly and model their use for the team throughout the release life cycle. Track and report progress with defined metrics (e.g., JIRA, Jenkins, qTest, PowerBI), and apply the release mission to day-to-day activities.
  • Communicate and influence: Share all key plans, commitments, and changes (requirements, Test plans, schedule, scope); clearly report team results to immediate management; work with teammates to articulate, compare, and implement alternative approaches based on project management principles; and influence stakeholders outside your department.
  • Grow with the team: Be a key, active member of the release team. Work independently on routine release work, with guidance from senior Release Managers on new assignments, building toward ownership of larger releases.
  • Explore AI-enabled automation: Experiment with AI-driven automation to streamline release workflows (analysis, synthesis, decision support), and work with tools teams to understand evolving tooling capabilities and constraints and stay aligned with how Engineering is adopting them.
