• Demonstrate and 'connect-the-dots' on how critical work streams are interrelated, for purposes of leadership escalations, reporting, and critical trade off decisions.

AWS Infrastructure Services (AIS)

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we are 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 are looking for talented people who want to help.

You will join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You will 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 will experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.

Key job responsibilities

1. Develop data-driven business cases to assess the viability of new product, service, and country expansions.
2. Design appropriate corporate structure strategy, policy, and controls to enable AWS to scale efficiently and compliantly.
3. Lead and advise a set of cross-functional teams to drive the global expansion of AWS, support with compliance, or facilitate divestiture. Build an execution strategy, and then drive cross-functional stakeholders to deliver.
4. Execute multiple time-sensitive, large-scale projects to meet business objectives in defined project timeframes.
5. Identify, drive, and develop best practices, technical solutions, process efficiencies, and project workflows.
6. Engage third parties (advisors, regulators, customers) to influence the adoption of AWS.
7. Write frequently and effectively. Operate autonomously. Enjoy navigating ambiguity.
