Job description

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.

AWS’ Infrastructure team is looking for a detail-oriented, experienced and professional Cluster Security Manager. You will have experience managing security of large critical infrastructure installations, ideally data centers. You will have professional experience managing people with varying skill sets, devising strategies, creating, tracking and controlling budgets, sponsoring projects, and driving improvements of our security readiness. You will report to the Multi-Cluster Security Manager responsible for your area.

Key job responsibilities

Your responsibilities include maintaining an extensive knowledge of complex industry trends, current security issues and security technology, and the risks and threats that could impact the Data Centers; performing annual risk analysis for the Data Center sites, particularly with respect to levels of crime, terrorism, workplace violence, and threats from natural and man-made disasters; provide leadership and best practices on security policy and practices; provide leadership, advice, and guidance to AWS Data Center staff as well as contract security staff in achieving current and long-range strategic program objectives; serve as staff support to security management and assist in conducting investigations of significant threats and/or the loss or misappropriation of assets; and liaise with other Amazon, AWS and external security organizations to ensure optimal buy-in for their successful implementation. You will routinely collaborate with your AWS Data Center Security Managers and other regional security operations personnel to ensure that the data centers under your supervision provide a safe and secure environment and safeguard the vital information within. Your team will also educate stakeholders on the importance of emergency readiness, encourage a culture of security awareness, conduct regular drills and update all plans annually. You will be required to provide periodic performance, program and strategic roadmap briefings to AWS senior leaders.

The ideal candidate will be a confident, decisive, influential and innovative leader who can communicate a compelling and comprehensive set of outcomes to be achieved. You must have the presence and influence to define and enforce high standards for programs you implement and monitor at all levels. You must be comfortable with ambiguity, and can define structure, processes and standards where none yet exist. You must be able to deliver on our customer data security tenets and mission first; minimizing tradeoffs in cost, efficiency and operations friction. Written and verbal communications are comprehensive, clear and precise.
