Description

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.

Amazon Web Services has an immediate opening for a highly motivated Data Center Program Manager to drive global strategic initiatives for critical infrastructure projects in operational data centers. Candidates should have a proven track record of managing cross-functional projects, optimizing processes to improve efficiency, and delivering results to meet program goals in a fast-paced environment.

The successful candidate will have excellent analytical abilities and strong attention to details to identify risks and ask the right technical questions to ensure appropriate trade-offs are made when negotiating resources, determining priorities, and escalating successfully. They must possess solid business acumen to understand and support the strategic direction of organizational goals. Strong written and oral communication skills are required to lead effective meetings with key stakeholders to drive business and technical discussions toward results. They will be fully competent in a variety of project management tools, methodologies and techniques for all phases of the project lifecycle and exhibit demonstrated proficiency in core project management disciplines including initiation, planning, budgeting, resourcing, risk management, reporting on key metrics, quality control, and closeout.

As a Data Center Program Manager, you must be able to develop and maintain deep global subject matter expertise in data center design approaches and an end-to-end understanding of critical infrastructure systems to facilitate technical trade-offs between short-term team needs and long-term business needs. You will be expected to take ownership and influence positive change, deploying and leveraging analytical data to drive quality, productivity, and cost improvements. Responsibilities include providing strategic insight across stakeholder teams during monthly business reviews and producing accurate and timely reporting on program status to business and finance partners.

If you are a self-starter comfortable with ambiguity, enjoy new challenges in an ever-changing environment, are vocally self-critical, and are naturally curious, this job is for you. The position is based in Sydney, Australia, and will require up to 25% travel to support regional teams across Americas, Asia, and Europe.
