Technical Program Manager, AWS DC Community-Availability Serviceability

At AWS, we're working to be the most customer-centric company on earth. To get there, we need exceptionally talented, driven people. The team is seeking a Technical Program Manager II (TPM II) to serve as the Global Process Owner (GPO) for one of our global maintenance programs — owning the standard end-to-end, from definition through global execution and continuous improvement. You will be a highly visible owner who drives the communication, coordination, cross-organizational consensus, and execution of a multi-year program vision, and who owns the decision and unblocks the path forward when consensus cannot be reached.
Our Serviceability team owns serviceability excellence across AWS's global data center fleet. We set and maintain the preventive-maintenance (PM) standards, critical-spares strategy, and operational readiness testing programs for the electrical, controls, mechanical, and generator infrastructure that keeps AWS data centers online. We operate on a Global Process Owner (GPO) model: each Technical Program Manager owns a global program end-to-end — defining the maintenance standard, driving it through a gated review-and-approval lifecycle, and stewarding it globally across every AWS region. We turn field data into standardized, data-driven maintenance decisions that reduce risk, extend asset life, and lower cost at fleet scale.
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 infrastructure, 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.
