    The AWS Data Center Delivery Operations team is searching for a passionate and talented Program Manager to own the operating rhythm of our AMER Capacity Delivery organization. AWS is at the forefront of a rapidly changing industry, delivering data center capacity at unprecedented pace and scale. This role owns the mechanisms that keep our leaders informed and our teams aligned, including monthly goal reviews, weekly and cross-organizational business reviews, and the end-to-end headcount planning cycle. This is a high impact role offering the opportunity to work directly with senior leaders, business operations partners, and finance to raise the bar on how we plan, review, and communicate progress against our goals. The ideal candidate is an owner with strong business judgment, exceptional written communication, a bias for building mechanisms that scale, and the ability to align cross-functional teams and drive work to closure.

This involves coordinating content owners, managing deck preparation, and setting and enforcing corrections and submission deadlines so content is decision-ready.

    Managing the headcount planning process end to end. This includes operating plan cycles, top-down and bottom-up alignment, and partnering with finance and headcount POCs on artifacts, and timelines.

    Serving as the connective tissue between leadership, business operations, finance, and functional teams, translating leadership priorities into clear operating mechanisms and following up to closure on action items and decisions.

    Identifying opportunities to simplify, standardize, and automate recurring reporting, reducing manual effort and cycle times while improving quality and consistency.

    Communicating clearly to a range of stakeholders and executives through high-quality narratives, executive summaries, and review documents that make the story clear for a senior audience.

    A day in the life

    Each day you will interact with the teams and leaders responsible for planning and delivering data center capacity. You will prioritize the activities that are most impactful to the operating rhythm and to leadership visibility.

    Start your morning finalizing the inputs for an upcoming monthly goal review.

    About Company

    At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

    Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

    It’s Always Day 1
    At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

    Our Leadership Principles
    Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
