About the role

  • 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
  • Guide engineering toward pragmatic solutions when requirements are ambiguous or shifting
  • 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
  • Manage data quality escalations and work with engineering to resolve issues before they erode user trust
  • Build processes that reduce repeat firefighting - if the same thing breaks twice, fix it permanently

Requirements

  • 4-6 years in product management for data and analytics products, or AI/ML products
  • Prior experience as a data analyst, data scientist, data engineer, or similar technical role
  • Proficient in SQL- can write complex queries, troubleshoot performance issues, and evaluate whether a proposed data model will serve the use case
  • Can evaluate a data model and identify problems – familiar with star schema, normalization tradeoffs, and how schema design affects query performance
  • Familiar with ETL/ELT concepts and data pipeline architecture
  • Comfortable operating with incomplete information and competing priorities; able to engage credibly with engineering on technical tradeoffs
  • Strong communication skills; able to translate between technical and business audiences.
  • Experience building unified data products (customer 360, product 360) that integrate multiple source systems like Salesforce, Oracle, or ERP platforms (Preferred)
  • Experience building customer-facing data products, not just internal tools / dashboards (Preferred)
  • Familiarity with data quality challenges: entity resolution, duplicate handling, schema conflicts across systems (Preferred)
  • Experience with technology migrations or managing products through significant platform changes (Preferred)
  • Hands-on experience with Python for data analysis or prototyping (Preferred)
