AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all
AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we’re the people who keep the cloud running. We support all
AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we’re looking for talented people who want to help.
You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate with people across
AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.
If you enjoy being at the forefront of new, non-traditional data center deployment activities; operating in a highly ambiguous environment; driving long-range business growth in support of an evolving business strategy; and working across teams to solve challenges and remove obstacles, then this is the role for you.
The
AWS Non-Standard Infrastructure Global Delivery Team has an immediate opening for a Technical Infrastructure Program Manager to drive non-standard infrastructure capacity delivery around the world. You will lead
cross-functional teams to drive the development and implementation of non-standard infrastructure designs and develop and document requirements, budgets, and project schedules to drive timely infrastructure delivery; drive improvements to the health of the fleet; and make data-driven decisions that influence large capital investments. Your role will span long-range planning for complex, multi-year capacity delivery and capital improvement initiatives; working with local teams to plan, initiate, and execute specific projects and drive coordination of local efforts to implement global fleet optimization activities. You will work across the entire
AWS organization and partner with key stakeholders and partner teams to find solutions for both short- and long-range demand plans, address short- and long-term capacity constraints, and drive projects from conceptual feasibility through development of detailed technical requirements, budget approval, completed design, implementation, functional testing, and deployment. Finally, you will drive accountability across the Infrastructure organization and develop mechanisms to monitor the health of the capacity delivery and sustainment program, escalating issues to executive leadership as needed.
This role offers an opportunity to drive and influence business-critical decisions impacting the long-term future of
AWS, working at the leading edge of emerging capability and service offerings. The Candidate must be comfortable managing remote project teams delivering novel and sometimes pioneering solutions across multiple countries and time-zones; assessing, identifying, and mitigating downstream risk; troubleshooting unforeseen and time-critical implementation issues as they arise; removing bureaucratic barriers to project success; and dealing with persistent uncertainty, pitfalls, and change. Being able to build and manage
cross-functional matrixed teams, establish trust with a variety of internal customers and stakeholders, eliminate non-value-add activity, design solutions, remove blockers, and find creative ways to accelerate project delivery is essential. Most importantly, the Candidate must be able to act independently, using good judgement to drive timely decision making and deliver high-quality results.
Up to 15% domestic and international travel may be necessary to support
AWS non-standard infrastructure planning and scaling efforts.
If you demonstrate these qualities, are a "get stuff done" kind of person, and enjoy the challenges of delivering technical and highly innovative projects, this position is for you!
Key job responsibilities
• Lead development and execution of regional capacity scaling strategies for multiple non-standard infrastructure programs
• Work with regional capacity delivery teams and to plan deployment and scaling activities
• Coordinate project activities with other relevant projects to gain both cost and execution efficiencies

A day in the life
Its typically different day-to-day, but generally you will engage with local project teams to plan, execute, and monitor build projects; work with finance and procurement teams to fund and purchase equipment and materials; look downstream to identify risks to schedule and cost; work with partner teams to identify opportunities to deliver capacity better, faster, cheaper without diminishing quality or increasing schedule risk; and working with customer teams to plan more effectively for the future.
