Job description

Description

About the Team

AWS Global Energy is responsible for powering the world's most demanding cloud infrastructure. The team is organized across three verticals: Global Energy Strategy (GES), which leads the development of innovative commercial structures to meet capacity demand and AWS's carbon-free energy commitments; Power Generation Solutions (PGS), the single-threaded owner for AWS power generation and energy engineering — delivering capacity solutions aligned with AWS's availability, reliability, sustainability, and redundancy requirements and managing the production readiness lifecycle of AWS-owned or commissioned generation and storage assets; and Energy Portfolio Operations (EPO), which owns Amazon's global renewable PPA portfolio and AWS CFE supply agreements. Global Energy partners closely with regional data center planning and delivery, global sustainability, and broader Amazon business units on energy procurement and infrastructure needs.

About the Role

As a Senior Technical Program Manager on the PGS leadership team, you will report directly to the Head of Power Generation Solutions and serve as a strategic partner to PGS and Global Energy leadership. This is a dual-scope role: you will own technical program management for one of PGS's power programs, while also driving cross-cutting strategy, controllership, and operational mechanisms for PGS and the broader Global Energy organization.

You will work at the intersection of technical execution and business strategy, partnering with PGS engineering leads, Global Energy Principals, Energy Portfolio Operations, Finance, and senior AWS leadership to ensure our programs are on track, our organization is scaled appropriately, and our strategy is clear and actionable. You'll engage external partners, facilitate senior executive interactions, and serve as a trusted voice for PGS in cross-organizational forums.

This role is right for someone who thrives in ambiguity, thinks big, and can operate with equal fluency in a technical design review and a VP-level strategy session.

About You

You have a track record of delivering complex, ambiguous programs at scale — and doing it with the business acumen and executive presence to bring senior leaders along. You are data-driven but not data-bound; you know when to go deep and when to synthesize. You write clearly, speak directly, and earn trust quickly across organizational boundaries.

You are energized by consequential work. AWS's power strategy is shaping how the world's infrastructure gets built — and this role sits at the center of it.

Basic Qualifications

Experience in technical program management, strategy, or related fields in a large-scale infrastructure, energy, or technology organization

Experience managing complex, multi-stakeholder programs with senior leadership visibility

Strong analytical skills with demonstrated ability to translate data into strategic recommendations

Excellent written and verbal communication skills; experience preparing materials for VP-level audiences

Key Responsibilities

Own technical program management for part of the AWS power program, including pipeline management, milestone tracking, senior leader engagement, and vendor coordination.

Partner with the Head of PGS to develop and maintain a multi-year strategic roadmap for Global Energy, translating long-term priorities into annual execution plans with clear owners and accountability mechanisms.

Lead Global Energy controllership mechanisms, including headcount and resource planning, hiring performance tracking, and operating cadence — ensuring leadership has timely, accurate visibility into organizational health and delivery status.

Develop and manage reporting for senior leadership on program status, strategic initiatives, and organizational metrics; synthesize complex inputs into clear, decision-ready narratives.

Build and maintain trusted relationships with Finance, Talent Acquisition, Human Resources, and partner delivery organizations to ensure Global Energy's full scope of needs is represented in cross-organizational planning.

Drive continuous improvement in Global Energy's operating mechanisms — identifying gaps, proposing solutions, and leading implementation across teams.

Represent PGS and Global Energy in senior forums, including facilitating off-sites, leadership reviews, and partner engagements inside and outside AWS.

Champion a high-performance team culture: model strong judgment, clear communication, and a bias for action.
