Responsibilities

Strategic Communications Leadership

- Develop and own a compelling partner narrative that works across hardware, software, AI, neocloud, and joint venture partner segments
- Drive communications planning that connects near‑term partnership announcements to longer‑term strategic positioning
- Evaluate incoming partnership communications opportunities against business priorities—recommending which to pursue, how to size them, and when to pass
- Determine the right ownership model for each program: Equinix‑led, partner‑led, or jointly led
- Serve as a trusted advisor to senior leaders in Product Communications, Partner Marketing, and the partner ecosystem org

Integrated Partner Programs

- Build and run integrated communications programs across PR, social, events, internal communications, executive, and analyst relations functions
- Maintain a portfolio of active partner programs, including complex multi‑partner opportunities where the work is as much diplomacy as communications — aligning partners with different priorities around a program that still serves Equinix first.




- Partner with Product Marketing and Product Management and Ecosystem Teams to identify communications‑worthy moments in the product and partnership lifecycle
- Collaborate with partner marketing teams to align on joint storytelling opportunities and co‑develop assets and programs that serve both sides
- Oversee communications planning for partner program launches, partner events, and ecosystem milestones

External Activation

- Work directly with partner communications counterparts at other companies to execute joint announcements, earned media, and event activations
- Partner with AR teammates to shape how analysts understand and cover Equinix's partner ecosystem
- Develop messaging frameworks that can flex across partner types—from a major hardware partner to an emerging AI infrastructure company
- Maintain an external point of view on how the competitive landscape is shaping partner communications trends

Executive Communications

- Develop executive platforms and talking points that connect partner strategy to Equinix's broader technology narrative
- Prepare executives (especially our VP, of Partnerships & Ecosystem Development) for partner events, media opportunities, and industry speaking engagements
- Support executive social presence and content tied to the partner ecosystem

Qualifications

- 8‑10 years of communications experience, with meaningful exposure to B2B technology, partner ecosystems, or product communications
- Demonstrated ability to evaluate partnership opportunities analytically and make prioritization recommendations based on business impact
- Experience running integrated communications programs across PR, social, events, internal, and AR functions
