HPE is seeking a high-caliber Director, Product Management for StoreOnce Systems, Data Protection Accelerators, Catalyst Software, Cloud Bank Storage, and Integrated Protection solutions within the HPE Storage portfolio. In this hands-on people leadership role you will define and drive the product vision, roadmap, and business outcomes for a portfolio that makes data protection, recovery, and lifecycle management simple, cyber secure, high-performance, and workflow automated for our customers.

This position will report into a senior product management executive and actively contribute as a member of the leadership team for the Data Protection Pillar. You will lead and mentor a geographically dispersed team and partner broadly across the business and ISV ecosystem to achieve whole product completeness, financial, and customer adoption goals.

Key responsibilities:

  • Own the end-to-end product strategy, roadmap and lifecycle for a core part of the HPE data protection portfolio.
  • Define market segmentation, value propositions, positioning, packaging and commercial strategies (pricing, configuration mix, as‑a‑Service offers) aligned to business objectives.
  • Translate market, customer, and competitor insights into prioritized product requirements and clear PRDs; balance short-term tactical needs and long-term investments.
  • Drive cross-functional execution with Engineering, Supply Chain, and Services to deliver feature, product, and experience releases.

  • Partner closely with Product Marketing, Sales Enablement and Technical Field teams to produce sales tools, technical collateral, and customer-facing messaging.
  • Lead the integration of product portfolio lifecycles into business unit objectives – planning, launch, growth, optimization and end-of-life – with financial and operational metrics.
  • Own forecasting, pricing strategies, margin targets and product P&L inputs; provide regular reporting and reconciliations against business goals.
  • Act as the product and technology evangelist internally and externally – presenting to executives, customers, partners and analysts – and serve as a trusted advisor to the field.
  • Build, lead and develop a high-performing product management organization; set standards, processes and KPIs to drive predictable outcomes.
  • Foster a collaborative, inclusive and positive team culture while contributing broadly to the storage product management community.

Required attributes:

  • Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, business or related field; advanced degree (MBA, MS) preferred.
  • 15+ years of relevant work experience in data protection, storage, systems or related IT infrastructure domains.
  • Proven product management and people leadership with at least 8+ years in senior product roles and leading teams.
  • Strong technical acumen backed by business acumen: experience owning product financials, pricing, forecasting and P&L responsibilities for a sizeable product line.
  • Strategic thinker with strong customer and market orientation; ability to translate insight into clear, impactful product decisions.
  • Demonstrated ability to work cross-functionally to deliver complex products on schedule and to quality and financial targets.
  • Excellent written, verbal and executive communication skills; comfortable presenting to senior leadership, customers and partners.
  • Bias for action, pragmatic problem-solver, and strong collaborator.

Other desired attributes:

  • Deep domain knowledge of data protection, cyber recovery, storage appliances, engineered systems, and related tools.
  • International experience and comfort operating in global organizations and markets.
  • Recognized leader in shaping technical product strategy and mentoring product teams.
