Job description

Manager, Technical Infrastructure Program Management, Data Center Planning & Delivery

Job ID: 10519864 | Amazon Data Services, Inc.

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 technical program managers, design engineers, construction managers, 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.

We're seeking an experienced Manager, Technical Infrastructure Program Management in Herndon, VA or Seattle, WA to lead a team of Technical Infrastructure Program Managers responsible for delivering data center build projects. In this role, you will manage, mentor, and develop a team of TIPMs while maintaining direct ownership of program delivery. You will lead cross‑functional and technical teams from conceptual design feasibility through scope and schedule creation, budget management, completed design, implementation, commissioning, and data center deployment. Along the way, you will use your judgment, critical thinking skills, ability to influence without authority, analytical talent, technical aptitude, and leadership to collaborate with a diverse set of stakeholders, eliminate non‑value‑add activities, design solutions, remove blockers, and find creative ways to accelerate project delivery.

The successful candidate will be a strong communicator (both written and verbal), not be hindered by ambiguity or competing priorities, and be capable of understanding mechanical/electrical engineering concepts. They will have demonstrated experience building, developing, and leading high‑performing teams. They will be able to apply a variety of project‑management tools, methodologies and techniques for all phases of the project lifecycle and exhibit demonstrated experience in core project‑management disciplines including scope, schedule, budget, resources, quality and risk management, reporting and metric development/tracking. Other requirements include experience with MS Office, MS Project and MS SharePoint. Experience with Tableau, KanBan, Playbook, SQL and systems integration a plus.

Key job responsibilities

We are seeking a Manager, Technical Infrastructure Program Management to lead a team and deliver on end‑to‑end builds. You will be responsible for hiring, developing, and retaining top talent on your team while working with stakeholder teams to map dependencies, create and drive schedules, and think big to solve some of our biggest challenges. You will set the vision and direction for your team, coach and develop program managers at various career stages, manage performance, and remove barriers to your team's success. We're looking for a people leader who is highly organized, has strong attention to detail, and brings a problem‑solving mindset with the ability to dive deep into critical path items. This is a high‑judgment role to develop talent and deliver capacity to our end customers.
