Sr. Mgr, Technical Marketing Engineering
Morrisville, North Carolina, United StatesJob Summary
Are you ready to build and lead NetApp's technical marketing presence? As Senior Manager, Technical Marketing Engineering, you will help build NetApp's center of excellence for technical marketing as part of a leadership team taking on an early-stage team and rapidly growing both its size and its impact.
You will be both a team builder and have the hands-on technical credibility to inspire, measure, and improve the capabilities of world-class Technical Marketing Engineers (TMEs). NetApp TMEs own technical marketing end-to-end for one or more assigned technology areas: defining the technical narrative, value proposition, claims, and competitive story for integrated solutions that solve customer challenges using NetApp products and, where relevant, partner products. As a team leader, you will set the technical and quality bar for the team, and hire new talent that the team needs as it scales.
You will do this working side-by-side with Product Marketers as part of the Integrated Product & Platform Marketing (IPPM) organization's Technical Evangelism & Marketing (TEM) function, and in partnership with Product Management and Engineering teams worldwide. As the senior TME leader based in RTP, you will be the primary point of local leadership and escalation for Product Management and Engineering partners, and you will partner closely with peer TME leaders across the world to keep one consistent technical narrative and operating model across every region, while fully owning the TME charter for your assigned subset of products and solutions.
If you're excited by the challenge of building a world-class technical marketing team, staying hands-on with the technology to lead from the front, and shaping how NetApp shows up technically worldwide, we want to talk to you.
Key Responsibilities
- Build and lead your assigned TME team: hire, onboard, and develop talent, scaling from today's strong team toward a full regional center of excellence.
- Serve as the senior in-region point of contact for RTP-based Product Management and Engineering partners, providing local leadership and time-zone coverage for both your covered products, and in partnership with your peer TME leaders for other products and solutions. Will be required to work in-person in the local NetApp RTP office a majority of the time.
- Own technical marketing end-to-end for multiple assigned technology areas. Own the team that defines the technical narrative, claims, proof of value, and competitive story for integrated solutions, integrated into the overall narrative set by Product Marketing.
- Collaborate with Product Management and Engineering across the product lifecycle to build — and ensure your team builds — expert-level understanding of assigned products and solutions, their place in the NetApp portfolio, and how they solve customer challenges.
- Direct, and personally contribute to, your team's production of consistent, high-quality technical content and enablement: technical reports, whitepapers, reference architectures, blogs, videos, technical talk tracks, demos, and other advanced technical enablement.
- Oversee your team's self-service interactive assets, including demos, sandboxes, and TCO/ROI calculators, built with the latest AI-enabled demo-creation tools and instrumented to capture usage and customer intelligence.
- Ensure your team is visible as trusted technical subject-matter experts, evangelizing NetApp and assigned technologies at conferences, in webinars, on video, and on social media with clear, compelling technical storytelling.
- Synthesize input from customers, field teams, and sales gathered through your team's work as technical SMEs, and channel it to Product Management to inform the roadmap.
- Partner with peer TME leaders across the Americas and EMEA, and with the broader IPPM Technical Evangelism & Marketing (TEM) function, to keep one consistent technical narrative, one content standard, and one operating model across every region.
- Establish and track key performance indicators for your team's coverage and output and drive continuous improvement of deliverables based on data and field feedback.
- Recruit, coach, and retain top technical marketing talent.
- Champion an inclusive, collaborative team culture, and model the ownership and agility NetApp expects of its technical marketing organization as your team's scope and headcount scale quickly.
Job Requirements
- 10+ years of experience in technical marketing or related roles that span technology and marketing, including several years in a people-management or team-lead capacity.
- Proven track record building, scaling, and leading a high-performing technical team from the ground up, including hiring, developing, and managing talent.
- Demonstrated expert-level understanding in one or more enterprise technology areas, as a proof point of the ability to attain — and coach others toward — expert-level understanding of additional technology areas. Existing expertise in NetApp technologies or the data infrastructure market is highly desired but not required.
- Demonstrated ability to craft, and to coach others to craft, technical narratives, value proof, and competitive positioning for integrated solutions.
- Excellent technical writing, communication, and storytelling skills, with a track record of setting and holding a quality bar across a team's content and enablement output.
- Proven experience building and managing demos and showcase environments at scale, including demo catalogs, sandboxes, and self-service experiences; familiarity with modern AI-enabled demo-creation tools is highly desired.
- Strong business acumen and comfort operating as a hands-on player-coach, capable of deep technical knowledge, but passionate about delegating and teaching to develop the same skills in your team.
- Strong cross-functional and cross-regional collaboration skills within a globally distributed team and partner effectively with Product Management, Engineering, Sales, and Marketing leaders across time zones.
- Confident as a public speaker and on-camera presenter, with experience coaching others to present confidently to technical and executive audiences.
- Facility with competitive/alternatives analysis and building data-backed, testable claims.
Education
- Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, information systems, or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience).
- Master's degree or MBA is a plus.

- 8 or more years of technical project or program management experience in a software engineering environment
- Proven ability to lead large-scale, cross-functional programs involving multiple engineering teams simultaneously
- Proficiency with agile methodologies including Scrum, Kanban, and SAFe at the program or portfolio level

Tips for Your Staff Technical Project Manager Job Search
Tailor your resume for staff-level scope
Staff technical project manager roles expect evidence of program-level ownership, not just task coordination. Rewrite each bullet to show the size of the engineering org you partnered with, the budget you managed, and the cross-team dependencies you resolved.
Highlight your technical depth explicitly
Hiring managers for staff roles want to see that you can hold your own with principal engineers. Call out the architectures, tech stacks, or platforms you've worked alongside, so reviewers don't have to guess whether you can engage at a systems level.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists staff technical project manager openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Filter by org model, not just job title
Staff technical project manager roles differ sharply between product-led and engineering-led organizations. Read the reporting structure in the job description carefully. Roles reporting to a VP of Engineering have different day-to-day expectations than those under a PMO or Chief of Staff.
Prepare a systems-thinking case study
Interviewers at the staff level routinely ask you to walk through a complex, ambiguous program you untangled. Have one structured example ready that covers how you diagnosed the root cause, aligned stakeholders across multiple teams, and measured the outcome.
Negotiate scope alongside compensation
At the staff level, the charter matters as much as the offer. Before accepting, clarify which programs you'll own from day one, what your decision-making authority covers, and how success gets measured in the first ninety days.
Staff Technical Project Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most staff technical project managers?
The companies hiring the most staff technical project managers right now include Amazon, CRUSOE, and Amazon Web Services, with the largest share of openings in Washington, Texas, and California, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Demand is especially concentrated in companies scaling large platform or infrastructure programs.
How many staff technical project manager jobs are remote?
About 44% of staff technical project manager openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the distributed nature of large engineering programs. Sub-areas with the highest remote share include platform engineering coordination, cloud migration programs, and enterprise software rollouts, where stakeholders are often spread across multiple time zones.
How do you become a staff technical project manager?
Start by building several years of experience managing complex technical projects inside software engineering teams, then move into program-level ownership that requires coordinating across multiple teams and managing competing priorities. Earning a recognized certification such as PMP or a SAFe credential strengthens your candidacy. Demonstrating that you can influence senior engineering leaders without direct authority is what separates staff-level candidates from senior ones.
Can you get a staff technical project manager job with limited experience?
Getting hired at the staff level without a long management history is difficult but achievable if you can point to a specific program where you drove measurable outcomes at scale. Focus your applications on companies that promote from within and frame your experience around the complexity of what you managed, not just your years in the role. Contract or consulting work on large platform programs can also serve as a credible substitute for a traditional promotion path.
What does the staff technical project manager interview process look like?
The process typically starts with a recruiter screen focused on scope and seniority, followed by a hiring manager conversation about your approach to ambiguous, large-scale programs. Expect a panel round where engineering leaders probe your technical fluency and your ability to manage conflict across teams. Many employers also include a case study or take-home scenario asking you to structure a program from scratch and present your prioritization logic.
Where can I find and apply to staff technical project manager jobs?
You can find and apply to staff technical project manager jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States in one place. Search for roles that match your level and specialization, then apply directly to each listing that fits your background.
