Job description

Description

The AWS Infrastructure Services team is searching for a passionate and talented Program Manager to drive the planning, coordination, and execution of data center cabling strategy and optimization across our global infrastructure. AWS is at the forefront of a rapidly changing industry, operating at a scale and complexity that has never been tackled before. This role sits at the intersection of tactical execution, strategic program management, and cross-functional leadership. You'll have unparalleled visibility into how AWS keeps the cloud running — supporting the data centers, servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling systems that millions of customers rely on every day.

This role influences how AWS optimizes its existing infrastructure cabling footprint through data-driven planning and disciplined execution. It is responsible for managing complex, multi-variable programs that span networking, infrastructure, and global decommissioning teams. It will be responsible for developing scalable workflows, process improvements, and reporting mechanisms that drive accountability and eliminate non-value-add activity. This role bridges project delivery teams, senior leadership, and cross-functional stakeholders by driving execution plans and surfacing critical decisions at the right level. This is a high-impact role offering an opportunity to Think Big while delivering results on the ground — directly shaping the reliability, cost efficiency, and risk posture of AWS's global cabling infrastructure. The ideal candidate is an exceptionally strong communicator, a trusted cross-functional partner, and a leader who thrives in ambiguity and drives clarity through structure.

Join us in keeping the engine of cloud computing running at global scale.

Key job responsibilities

• Lead executive-level reporting on program health, delivering root-cause analysis and actionable insights that drive cabling infrastructure optimization decisions

• Pioneer scalable, data-driven process improvements and automated solutions that transform how AWS manages its data center cabling portfolio

• Manage competing priorities across multiple programs, navigating dependencies, trade-offs, and critical path decisions to deliver site-level cabling execution plans

• Build program mechanisms that monitor and elevate against the health of cable strategy and implementation plans for critical projects

• Unite cross-functional teams — including project delivery, networking, infrastructure, and global decommissioning — around a shared execution vision across multiple time zones

Basic Qualifications

• 3+ years of program or project management experience

• 3+ years of defining and implementing process improvement initiatives using data and metrics experience

• Knowledge of Excel (Pivot Tables, VLookUps) at an advanced level and SQL

• Experience using data and metrics to determine and drive improvements

• Experience working cross functionally with tech and non-tech teams

• Experience in stakeholder management, dealing with multiple stakeholders at varied levels of the organization

• Bachelor's degree in BI, finance, engineering, statistics, computer science, mathematics, finance or equivalent quantitative field

Preferred Qualifications

• 3+ years of driving end to end delivery, and communicating results to senior leadership experience

• 3+ years of driving process improvements experience

• Experience in stakeholder management, dealing with multiple stakeholders at varied levels of the organization

• Experience building processes, project management, and schedules

• Master's degree in business, data science, public administration, finance, engineering, human resources or related field
