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.

The AWS Global Operations Support Engineering (GOSE) team is seeking a Technical Program Manager (TPM) to act as a strategic link between business operations, finance and technology teams in relation to Data Center Engineering Operations (DCEO) labor prioritization, resource allocation, modeling, forecasting and productivity. The role requires a results-oriented data-driven mindset. The ideal candidate has experience with creating software development business requirements and financial modeling to support cross-functional collaboration.

- Communicate insights and progress clearly with different levels of stakeholders and leadership in various formats both written and verbal.

- Act as leader within the program space as you facilitate the alignment and deliverables between external tech teams, Finance, and Operations leadership.

- Maintain dynamic labor forecasting models that account for headcount constraints while identifying opportunities for efficiency gains. Develop scenarios for resource reallocation between sites and third-party vendor utilization.

- Design and implement streamlined work intake processes. Create approval workflows that scale appropriately with work scope and impact.

- Establish metrics and tracking systems for productivity improvements. Quantify labor hour savings to demonstrate capacity creation for new initiatives.

We transform critical infrastructure data into actionable intelligence that enables the Data Center Community (DCC) organization to prevent customer impact, reduce operational burden, focus on highest-impact activities, and continuously improve fleet-wide reliability and productivity. Through our comprehensive monitoring, analysis, reporting, and program/project management, we serve as the analytical backbone that drives continuous improvement in operational excellence across the global data center portfolio.

About the Company

A

Amazon

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.
