Job Summary

Overview NetApp is seeking a Principal Product Manager to own the strategy, design, and execution of Keystone offers and monetization models. You will define the offers portfolio, pricing and packaging, discount guardrails, and channel/marketplace motions that accelerate Keystone growth. This is a highly cross-functional role that blends product strategy, monetization, financial modeling, and go-to-market execution.

Job Responsibilities

  • Offers Strategy and Portfolio Management
  • Define the Keystone offers portfolio (service tiers, solution bundles, add-ons) mapped to customer segments and use cases.
    Craft clear value propositions and competitive differentiation; drive lifecycle management (launch, iterate, sunset, migrations).
    Establish governance for SKU architecture, catalog taxonomy, and offer policies.
    Business Model Innovation
  • Design and validate monetization models: pay-as-you-go, committed terms, reserved capacity, tiered subscriptions, burst/overage, outcome-based SLAs, trials/credits.
    Define metering units and entitlements (e.g., capacity, performance/throughput, data services) and align with usage telemetry.
    Pricing and Packaging
  • Develop pricing frameworks, rate cards, and discount guardrails; run price-realization and elasticity analyses.
    Create promotions, incentives, and limited-time offers; manage country pricing, currency, and localization considerations.
    Marketplaces and Channel Programs
  • Launch and optimize Keystone offers via cloud marketplaces (e.g., private offers, CPPO) and partner channels (resellers, MSPs).
    Define attach strategies for add-on services and cross-portfolio bundles; align incentives and rebates with Partner/Alliances teams.
    Financial Ownership and Analytics
  • Model unit economics and P&L impacts; set and track ARR/NRR/GRR, gross margin, price realization, attach rates, conversion, CAC payback, and churn/expansion cohorts.
    Build business cases, forecast scenarios, and ROI/TCO narratives to drive executive alignment and investment decisions.
    Go-To-Market and Enablement
  • Lead launch planning with Marketing, Sales, and CS; deliver sales playbooks, competitive battlecards, ROI tools, and enablement content.
    Partner with Customer Success on adoption, renewals, expansion, and upgrade paths; define offer qualification and sales motions.
    Quote-to-Cash and Compliance
  • Define requirements for CPQ, SKU/price books, contracting, billing/invoicing, taxation, and revenue recognition in partnership with IT, RevOps, and Finance.
    Align offers with legal/commercial policies (terms, SLAs, usage policies, credits) and support global compliance.
    Data, Experiments, and Insights
  • Instrument telemetry to measure usage, adoption, and overage; run A/B tests and pilots to optimize pricing, packaging, and conversion.
    Translate insights into roadmap priorities and iterative offer improvements.
    Cross-Functional Leadership
  • Drive alignment with Engineering, Cloud/Ops, Finance, Legal, Sales, Marketing, and Support; set OKRs and manage a transparent backlog.
    Author crisp PRDs and policy docs for offers, pricing, metering, and catalog governance.

Job Qualifications

  • 10+ years of product management and/or pricing/monetization experience in enterprise infrastructure, cloud, or SaaS; STaaS or storage domain familiarity strongly preferred.
  • Proven track record designing, launching, and scaling offers and business models across direct, channel, and marketplace routes.
  • Deep financial modeling skills (unit economics, cohort analysis, elasticity, price realization) with advanced Excel; SQL and experimentation experience a plus.
  • Hands-on experience integrating monetization into Q2C stacks (e.g., Salesforce/CPQ, Zuora, SAP/Oracle, Stripe) and working with revenue recognition policies.
  • Strong understanding of metering and entitlements, usage telemetry, and service tiers for performance/capacity and data services.
  • Excellent communication, executive presence, and stakeholder management; able to simplify complex monetization topics for diverse audiences.
  • MBA or equivalent experience is a plus; marketplace launch experience (AWS/Azure/GCP) and partner program design are strong differentiators.
  • Success Metrics
  • Offer adoption and ARR growth
  • NRR/GRR and margin improvement
  • Price realization and discount leakage reduction
  • Attach and expansion rates for add-ons
  • Trial-to-paid and pilot conversion
  • Cycle time from offer concept to launch
