Role Summary

The Interconnection Sales Specialist (ICS) is an architecture-led seller who grows interconnection revenue across Equinix's full portfolio, physical and virtual, in new and existing Telco and Media accounts. An ICS sells architectures, not transactions. They work with customers to design how their networks, clouds, partners and AI workloads connect, then land that design on Platform Equinix as a repeatable pattern. Each landed architecture is a design win: a durable position in the account that further connections and workloads route through.

The ICS partners with Account Executives (across all teams), Solution Architects, Sales Engineers, and Technical Account Managers to create pull-through for the whole team, not to compete with it for credit.

What You'll Sell

The ICS sells every Equinix interconnection service, combined into the architecture the customer needs rather than one product at a time. Typical architectures the ICS designs and lands include:

1. Last Mile and network core integration on Fabric and Network Edge

2. Hybrid multicloud connectivity using Fabric Cloud Router and cloud on-ramps

3. Distributed AI hubs and high-capacity GPU and data-movement interconnect

4. AI inference and application delivery at the edge

5. Private connectivity to SaaS, AI platforms and ecosystem partners

6. Digital supply chain and partner ecosystems built on cross connects, peering and Metro Connect

7. Carrier network transformation architectures supporting service provider modernization, cloud connectivity, edge networking, peering, and network-as-a-service initiatives

8. Inter-provider, cloud-provider, content-provider, and enterprise connectivity architectures that enable providers to expand reach, improve performance, and accelerate service delivery

9. 5G, edge, and AI-enabled network architectures that leverage Equinix's global interconnection ecosystem to support next-generation network services.

10. API integration to enhance product offerings, provide end-to-end services/solutions, increase observability across networks, guarantee sovereignty and use to innovate on new capabilities.
