Job Summary

The Partner Acceleration Community Program Manager owns the design and execution of Equinix's partner community ecosystem — the programs, forums, events, and engagement mechanisms that build partner loyalty, knowledge, and advocacy at scale. This role recognizes that partners who are connected to a community sell more, stay longer, and represent Equinix more credibly than those who engage transactionally. The ideal candidate combines program management discipline with a genuine passion for community building and partner experience, and brings experience scaling partner communities in enterprise technology environments.

Responsibilities

Partner Community Design & Management

Own the strategy and execution of Equinix's partner community — defining the community model, engagement architecture, and value proposition for partners who participate
Build and manage partner forums, working groups, advisory councils, and peer networks that create genuine value for partners beyond the commercial relationship
Design tiered community engagement — ensuring Big Bet partners, strategic alliances, and long-tail partners each have an appropriate community touchpoint

Partner Events & Engagement Programs

Own the partner events calendar — including partner summits, regional roundtables, Connect participation, and virtual engagement programs
Design and execute partner recognition programs — awards, certifications, and public acknowledgment that celebrate partner performance and deepen loyalty
Build co-marketing and co-brand opportunities that give partners visibility and recognition within the Equinix ecosystem

Partner Advocacy & Voice of Partner

Build the mechanisms through which partner feedback is captured, synthesized, and fed back into the Build and Activation factories as actionable intelligence
Manage the partner advisory council — defining the charter, recruiting members, and facilitating sessions that produce genuine partner input into Equinix's strategy
Track partner NPS and community engagement metrics, using data to demonstrate the commercial value of community investment

Program Operations

Own the operational infrastructure of the partner community — registration platforms, communication cadences, content libraries, and engagement tracking
Work closely with Marketing and Enablement to ensure community content is current, high-quality, and aligned to partner needs
Build and maintain the partner community playbook — scalable processes and tooling that allow the program to grow without proportional headcount increases

Qualifications

Knowledge & Experience

Proven years in partner community management, partner marketing, or partner experience roles in enterprise technology or SaaS
Proven track record building and scaling partner community programs — not just maintaining existing ones
Experience designing and executing partner events at scale — from global summits to regional roundtables
Familiarity with community engagement platforms and the operational infrastructure required to run partner communities at scale
Experience capturing and synthesizing partner feedback and translating it into program improvements

Skills & Attributes

Community builder — genuinely believes that partner relationships built on shared purpose outperform transactional ones
Program management discipline — runs multiple simultaneous programs with clear owners, timelines, and success metrics
Partner empathy — designs engagement programs that address what partners actually care about, not just what Equinix wants to communicate
Creative — finds new ways to create partner value and recognition that go beyond standard program mechanics
Data-driven — measures community engagement and partner loyalty and can connect community investment to commercial outcomes
