Job SummaryEquinix's Digital Interconnection Product Management organization owns the Fabric portfolio, the connectivity layer that enterprises use to build multi-cloud, hybrid, and AI-ready infrastructure across Equinix's global platform. The portfolio spans Equinix Fabric, Fabric Cloud Router, the newly launched Fabric Intelligence AI-native operational layer, and Fabric Interconnect, alongside Internet Exchange, Precision Time, and Internet Access. The organization is scaling quickly: new product leaders are onboarding, the team is growing, and the portfolio is expanding into AI-driven networking and outcome-based commercial models.
We're hiring a Principal PM for Product Scaling & Strategy to support and scale the Digital Interconnection Product leadership team. You'll drive cross-cutting initiatives, own the team's business metrics cadence, build executive- and customer-facing narratives, and help scale the PM organization as it grows through a period of significant change. This individual contributor role reports directly to the VP of Digital Interconnection Services.
This role suits a seasoned technical leader who wants outsized organizational impact without owning a single product line or a direct engineering headcount. You'll see across the entire portfolio, sit in the room for the highest-leverage decisions, and be the person who turns strategy into execution.
ResponsibilitiesBuild the narrative
- Own construction of customer-facing and analyst-facing presentations, not just formatting support
- Draft and edit executive communications: stakeholder updates, launch narratives, escalation summaries
- Help maintain a consistent product story across Fabric, Fabric Cloud Router, Fabric Intelligence, and Fabric Multicloud Interconnect
Drive strategic initiatives
- Own cross-portfolio initiatives on behalf of product leadership, from AI-native networking positioning to new product launch readiness
- Translate leadership priorities into executable plans with clear owners, milestones, and follow-through
- Prep and often co-drive strategic reviews, board materials, and exec staff updates
Own the operating cadence
- Run the weekly and monthly business metrics rhythm across the portfolio: what's tracked, who owns it, how it rolls up to leadership
- Build the dashboards and reporting infrastructure that make metrics reviews fast, accurate, and actionable
- Surface risks and anomalies early, before they become escalations, drawing on real incident and crisis management instincts
Scale the team
- Support onboarding of new product leaders and product managers joining a fast-growing org
- Help refine the PM operating model, ways of working, and tooling as the team scales
- Provide informal coaching support to PMs, particularly newer team members, in partnership with leadership, drawing on a track record of developing the next generation of leaders
- Apply and help calibrate the organization's PM career ladder and performance framework
Triage and unblock
- Act as a first filter for incoming escalations and fires: assess, route, or resolve directly
- Own follow-through on action items from firefights so they don't resurface
- Free up leadership bandwidth by absorbing operational load across sales, marketing, and customer-facing asks
Qualifications- Senior technical leadership experience: 15+ years in engineering, product or technical leadership roles, including experience scaling and leading a large, global organizations (100+ people). You've operated at Sr Manager/Director level or above and are comfortable being a peer-level thought partner to VP-level executives
- Cloud and platform fluency: Direct experience building or operating cloud or infrastructure platforms and services. You understand modern cloud operating models, API-first architectures, and the operational realities of running always-on services at scale
- Culture and talent development: A demonstrated commitment to building psychologically safe, high-trust teams and developing the next generation of leaders through active mentorship
- Executive communication: Can write and structure at a board/CEO-ready level, not just PM-ready. Deck ownership, not deck decoration
- Cross-functional alignment: Track record of partnering closely with engineering, UX, and go-to-market teams to align roadmaps and drive strategy, even without formal authority over those functions
- Analytical rigor: Comfortable owning a metrics cadence, building your own dashboards, and drawing conclusions from data rather than just reporting it
- Judgment and discretion: This role sees everything, including sensitive performance and organizational matters. High trust is non-negotiable
Nice to Have
- Familiarity with cloud services and infrastructure business models
- Experience launching next-generation product capabilities from concept to public launch on an accelerated timeline
- MBA or equivalent business training paired with a computer science or engineering foundation
Why This Role
You'll operate at the center of one of Equinix's highest-visibility product areas during a period of active reinvention, from AI-native networking to outcome-based commercial packaging.
