About the Role
We're looking for a Senior Staff Technical Program Manager to join Equinix's Digital and Innovation Office. This is a senior individual contributor role for an experienced program manager who has spent years running complex, multi-team programs and knows how to get things done across organizational boundaries - with limited oversight.
You'll lead complex, high-priority, cross-functional programs end to end, work across technical and business teams, and help shape how program management is practiced across DIO. You will also mentor other junior project and program managers within the PMO. Critically, we're looking for someone who is actively curious about how AI tools can make program management faster, more thorough, and more scalable - and who can put that curiosity to practical use.
What You'll Do
Project, Program, & Portfolio Execution
Own, shape, and drive complex, cross-functional technology programs through the full technology development lifecycle (scope, schedule, change, risk, procurement, vendor, and closure)
Assess and recommend the right delivery approach (Agile, Waterfall, hybrid, SAFe) based on program needs
Manage multiple workstreams, risks and inter-dependencies, budgets, and timelines simultaneously - in collaboration with other program/ portfolio managers, if applicable
Proactively identify and resolve blockers at the program level, including issues that cut across teams or organizations
Lead effort estimation, resource planning, and capacity alignment with senior stakeholders
Conduct structured retrospectives and translate learnings into lasting process improvements
Stakeholder Management
Build working relationships with senior leaders, directors, and VP-level stakeholders across technical and business functions ensuring alignment and business readiness
Define and publish communication plans, facilitate decision making and resolve cross-team conflicts before they become program risks
Lead or support steering committees, program reviews, and executive briefings
Leverage concise, sharp, and executive-ready content to convey current state of affairs and drive required outcomes
Governance & Reporting
Effectively and proactively monitor and report program progress and health, milestones, risks and mitigation, scope changes, resource needs and decisions
Create and use JIRA or other tool-based dashboards to visualize program related data
Ensure compliance with internal controls, standards, and documentation practices
Support vendor management and third-party integrations, where applicable
Track and report financial data, program metrics, and operational effectiveness
Agile Delivery & Facilitation
Use your strong command over multiple PM methodologies (Agile, Scrum, SAFe, Waterfall, Kanban) to determine the best approach for a given program and apply them correctly
Lead 3-5 agile teams as an RTE (release train engineer)
Coach teams on Agile best practices and metrics (velocity, burndown, backlog health,) using Jira/Confluence
Facilitate scrum of scrums and structure work delivery across Agile Release Trains (ARTs) through ART ceremonies (PI Planning, ART Sync, PO Sync, System Demo)
Use data analysis and modelling to uncover insights and support decision-making
AI Enablement and PM Innovation
Actively use AI tools to accelerate program work - status reporting, risk synthesis, documentation, meeting prep, and more
Able to evaluate practical opportunities and apply lightweight AI-powered solutions to day to day program management workflows without requiring engineering support
Help scale program management bandwidth by mentoring and enabling other PMs and teams to leverage AI effectively
Stay current on relevant AI and other tooling improvements and share what's working with the broader TPM community
Define and document PM standards, templates, and processes that others can use and build on
Experience
12+ years of technical program or project management experience with a demonstrated track record running large, complex programs with multiple teams and external dependencies

How to prepare and behave
This is editorial guidance, not information from the employer.
Read the whole description and match your examples to its requirements; use the same words the posting uses where they are true for you.
Research the employer before the interview: what it does, who its customers are and recent news; prepare two or three questions about the work.
Arrive early (or log in early for a video call), dress one step above the daily dress code, and test your camera and audio beforehand.
Answer with short stories: the situation, what you did and the result. Give numbers when you have them and never invent them.
Be honest about gaps; say what you did to learn and how fast you can close them.
Ask about the team, the first 90 days, how success is measured and the schedule; do not open with salary and time off.
When pay comes up, know the market range for the occupation and your lowest acceptable offer before you answer; ask for the full package in writing.
Send a short thank-you message within a day, mentioning one thing you discussed.
The listing mentions a remote or flexible location. Confirm with the employer whether remote work applies to your state: taxes, licensing and benefits can depend on where you live.
