Data Product Management Principal driving execution of data and AI product roadmap for Equinix's Global Markets and Product Organization. Engage with stakeholders and manage delivery timelines while transforming data into actionable insights.
Responsibilities
Drive product execution and delivery
Own day-to-day product management for assigned data and AI products; manage backlogs, define requirements, and drive delivery
Translate business needs into detailed product requirements and user stories that engineering can execute against
Review and assess data models, pipeline designs, and system architectures; identify risks and tradeoffs before they become problems

Identify and manage risks in release delivery and communicate with stakeholder with clarity and mitigation plans
Drive business impact through stakeholder engagement
Build trust-based relationships with business stakeholders by understanding their strategy, pain points, and how data and AI solutions can help
Set clear expectations, push back on low-value requests, and educate stakeholders on what's possible and what's not
Frame ambiguous problems, generate hypotheses, and drive to recommendations when there's no clear precedent
Improve operational excellence
Support data product continuity during a major technology stack migration; ensure critical reporting capabilities remain intact as systems transition over multiple quarters
Partner with engineering to design interim solutions that bridge old and new data models during migration
Balance strategic roadmap work with operational responsibilities; protect time for building while keeping the lights on for products in ‘maintenance’ mode
