A place where bold ideas are welcomed, human connection is valued, and everyone has the opportunity to shape their future. A career at Equinix means being at the center of shaping what comes next and amplifying customer value through innovation and impact. You’ll work across teams, influence key decisions, and help shape the path forward. You’ll find belonging, purpose, and a team that welcomes you—because when you feel valued, you’re empowered to do your best work. Job Summary Equinix is in the midst of a commercial transformation designed to accelerate scale and growth. As part of this, we’re redefining how deals are structured, priced, evaluated and executed through a standardized, globally aligned model, bridging strategic focus and operational efficiency through Opportunity-to-Cash lifecycle. The Manager, Deal Strategy & Enablement – Strategics is a part of global DSE Strategics team, aligned to a defined set of AMER-HQ-ed accounts. Your portfolio is Equinix's most significant accounts: deals of meaningful size, global contractual and execution complexity, and significant negotiation leverage on both sides of the table. The role demands both rigorous application of established commercial frameworks and the judgment to develop fit-for-purpose solutions where those frameworks are insufficient. Therefore, this position is suited to a commercially experienced professional who operates effectively in environments characterized by complexity, ambiguity, and high stakeholder expectations. Candidates should demonstrate a track record of exercising independent judgment on consequential commercial matters, an ability to construct and communicate structured recommendations without reliance on established precedent, and the professional presence to engage with confidence alongside senior leaders across Sales, Finance, Operations, Product and Legal. This role has no direct reports. Your influence is earned through expertise, judgment, and the ability to hold your ground credibly with senior Sales leaders, Finance, Legal, and executive stakeholders. Performance expectations In the near term, success in this role is defined by the ability to establish credibility with AMER Strategics Sales leadership and deliver consistent, high-quality deal support across the portfolio. The successful candidate will be recognized as a reliable commercial resource on the most complex and time-sensitive opportunities, demonstrating sound judgment, thorough preparation, and the capacity to drive deal momentum through ambiguity. Over a longer horizon, the expectation is that the incumbent will have materially contributed to the evolution of commercial practices within the Strategics segment, translating deal-level problem-solving into scalable frameworks that benefit the broader organization.
