    Job Description

    Power availability is no longer a background variable - it is the binding constraint on where and how fast Amazon can grow its real estate network. Amazon WWOps Real Estate is looking for a Senior Power Development Manager (TIPM) to own power due diligence, utility engagement, and infrastructure strategy across the industrial real estate portfolio. You will embed power intelligence upstream in the site selection process, build repeatable frameworks that replace bespoke assessments, and develop strategic utility relationships that support Amazon investment plans and capacity availability. You will define how power development operates at portfolio scale and shift it from a reactive bottleneck into a proactive input that accelerates network delivery. Along the way, you will build a rare skill set that spans grid economics, real estate development, and capital strategy - a combination that is increasingly sought after across industrial infrastructure.

    Key job responsibilities

    • Own portfolio-wide power due diligence - load letter requests, substation capacity analysis, service territory research, and interconnection feasibility - to make power intelligence a scalable input to site selection.
    • Build and maintain strategic utility relationships across priority markets, moving from transactional inquiries to partnerships that provide advance visibility into grid investment plans and capacity availability.
    • Evaluate upstream infrastructure constraints such as interconnection lead times, feeder loading, transformer capacity, and distribution upgrade requirements to identify and de-risk capacity-constrained sites early in the pipeline.
    • Translate complex utility and grid data into real estate economics, delivery timelines, and investment decisions for stakeholders across real estate, engineering, operations, design and construction, and transactions.
    • Design repeatable processes, templates, and market intelligence tools that standardize power development across the portfolio and reduce assessment cycle time.

    A day in the life

    Your week alternates between external utility engagement and internal cross-functional coordination, with heads-down analytical work filling the gaps. One morning you might be on a call with a utility interconnection team negotiating service timelines for a capacity-constrained market; that afternoon you are presenting a portfolio-level power risk summary to directors across real estate and operations. Between meetings, you are interpreting substation data, modeling interconnection feasibility, or building the trackers and templates that make the next site evaluation faster. The cadence is deal-driven and portfolio-driven, with no sprint ceremonies or ticket queues. You operate with high autonomy as the dedicated owner of power development, self-organizing across dozens of concurrent site inquiries and using your judgment daily to decide where your time creates the most portfolio impact.

    About the team

    Amazon"s Global Realty Energy and Power team sits at the intersection of utility engineering, real estate development, and energy market strategy. We are changing how the company secures and delivers electrical infrastructure across one of the world"s largest industrial real estate portfolios, moving from transactional utility engagement to strategic infrastructure positioning. Our work directly determines whether Amazon can secure the grid capacity it needs, when it needs it, in the markets that matter most. Growth on this team comes through direct leadership engagement - regular one-on-ones, real-time feedback on your work, and sponsorship into cross-functional forums where senior leaders see your contributions firsthand. The role is scoped as a launchpad: build the capability, prove the model, then grow into energy strategy leadership, real estate development management, infrastructure program leadership, or deeper technical specialization in power markets. If you want to build a new capability from the ground up and shape how Amazon approaches power development, we would like to hear from you.

    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
