Accountable for turning DIO s strategy into an executable operating system. Owns the strategytoexecution chain—translating objectives into operational plans, engineered processes, measurable outcomes, and yearround visibility. Builds the governance, cadence, and cross functional orchestration so execution is disciplined, predictable, and fast. Partners closely with Finance, Procurement, and D&A to drive value and ensure DS&O work shows up in budget, SG&A, and OPM performance.

• Stewarding and Operationalizing DIO s Strategy:
  Own the annual strategy cycle for the function and convert direction into clear operational goals, KPIs, prioritized bodies of work, and success measures
• Cascade goals across organizational layers; ensure lineofsight and consistent interpretation in plans and commitments
• Define what is tracked, how it s surfaced, and the review rhythm; partner with D&A to specify dashboards (DS&O sets requirements; D&A builds)
• Maintain a single, integrated view of progress, risks, dependencies, and tradeoffs for the DCOO and LT

• Lead E2E process design for foundational DS&O workflows (intake, prioritization, requirements, governance, closedloop measurement)
• Set standards, requirements, and crossteam interfaces so teams  push buttons,  not rebuild the wheel
• Orchestrate rollout and change management so processes take hold; define KPIs/ROI and the refineimprove cycle

• Turn ambiguous, high stakes efforts into executable programs with clear scope, ownership, sequencing, governance, and measurable outcomes
• Run the operating cadence for these initiatives—surface risks early, resolve conflicts, maintain momentum across the year
• Ensure initiatives  activate  inside DIO—expectations, decision paths, and accountabilities understood and adopted

• Operate the portfolio of cross functional work that moves SG&A and OPM; track budget  like a hawk,  identify levers, and drive escalations to unblock value
• Partner with Finance, OPM teams, Procurement, and DIO leaders to specify scope, ownership, KPIs, and timelines for each cost/efficiency program

Given the scale and complexity of Equinix s digital infrastructure business, the Ditital Strategy & Operations, should possess a strong understanding of:

• 10+ years across strategy/operations/consulting with demonstrated ownership of strategy translation, portfolio governance, and cross functional execution in tech or digital infrastructure contexts
• Depth in operating model and process engineering, goal/OKR systems, and closedloop performance management; fluency in enterprise systems (ERP/CRM/BI) and AIenabled workflows
• Proven leadership of multiteam programs and financial performance levers (budget/SG&A/OPM); credible partner to senior finance and product/engineering leaders. (Calibrated down one level from the DS&O leader/VP profile while retaining domain breadth required to lead DS&O s charter.)

• Strategic operator with systems thinking; turns direction into disciplined operating mechanisms
• Analytical problem solving (uses data; does not build dashboards) and crisp decision framing
• Governance and cadence builder; sets standards others adopt
• Executive communication and influence across strong, senior stakeholders
• Change leader who lands new ways of working at scale
