About The Position

Tuxera is a global leader in quality-assured data storage, networking, and encryption software. Our technologies power billions of devices and systems where failure is not an option — from embedded platforms and automotive systems to enterprise data infrastructure and cloud services. As we accelerate our growth in enterprise storage, we are looking for a Vice President, Enterprise Storage Business Unit to join Tuxera’s Leadership Team. This is a senior, high-impact role with full ownership of one of our fastest-growing business areas — and the opportunity to shape the future of enterprise file services alongside leading cloud providers, storage vendors, and data-driven enterprises worldwide. About the role As VP, Enterprise Storage Business Unit, you will lead the business end-to-end with full P&L responsibility. You will set the strategy, define priorities, and drive execution across product management, R&D, go-to-market alignment, customer success, and operational performance. Your portfolio includes Tuxera’s in-market, high-performance Fusion SMB server product—trusted by enterprise and cloud customers globally for performance, scalability, reliability, and production readiness—alongside Fusion NFS, our upcoming server offering on the path to market for customers who want to help shape what “production-ready” looks like next. This role calls for a general manager mindset: a leader who combines commercial drive, technical credibility, and operational discipline — and who can build a scalable business while strengthening long-term customer trust. This position is based at Tuxera’s HQ in Espoo, Finland, or in the U.S. (Dallas, Texas, or Seattle, Washington).
