As Chief of Staff to the Enterprise Systems BU VP/GM, you’ll sit at the right hand of Enterprise Systems’ senior leadership, turning strategic priorities into coordinated action across a multi-billion-dollar business. This is an operator role: you’ll own the rhythm of business, run point on the highest-visibility cross-functional initiatives, and make sure the right people are aligned, informed, and moving at the right pace.

• You will work side-by-side with the rest of the Strat Ops team while reaching across Product Management, Engineering, Finance, Pricing, and Marketing to keep the business running smoothly. Few roles offer this combination of breadth, senior executive access, and hands‑on ownership.
• The Enterprise Systems business is Net App’s largest and highest-impact business unit - a multi-billion dollar portfolio spanning all-flash performance systems, capacity flash and hybrid platforms. This portfolio powers mission-critical workloads for the world’s largest enterprises and is now at the center of one of the most consequential trends in infrastructure: enterprise AI and next-generation neocloud architectures.
• The Strategy & Operations (S&O) team sits at the center of this business, working closely with Net App’s top executives.

• Track priorities and commitments across the leadership team, and hold owners accountable to deadlines

• Build board-ready decks, briefing docs, and talking points for C-Staff reviews, executive business reviews, and all-hands communications
• Vet and pre-align topics before they reach senior leadership, so every discussion starts from a clear, well-framed narrative

• Own priority projects end-to-end that don’t sit neatly inside one function - from new-initiative launches to organizational health and change initiatives
• Be the connective tissue: surface risks and bottlenecks early, and broker alignment across functions before issues stall execution

• Serve as a trusted proxy for leadership in select meetings and forums, representing priorities and driving decisions in their absence
• Partner with the Strat Ops BI & Analytics team to ensure every executive review and strategic decision is grounded in the right data and story
• Build and refine the processes, tools, and…
