Senior Technical Program Manager, Data Centre Delivery
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.
You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and 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.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world leader in providing a highly reliable, scalable, low-cost infrastructure platform in the cloud powering hundreds of thousands of businesses in hundreds of countries around the world.
The AWS Infrastructure Capacity Delivery team is searching for a passionate and talented Senior Technical Programme Manager to support projects growing our Data Centre infrastructure. The TPM will lead cross functional and technical teams to deliver Data Centre capacity and deliver projects from strategy, conceptual design feasibility, requirements, budget, completed design, implementation, testing, and deployment.
At AWS, along with technical knowledge, we expect our leaders to interact with customers, partners and suppliers to understand our business goals and priorities, and to execute rapidly, delivering high-quality results. The candidate will be comfortable in managing remote project delivery teams, and possess the ability to facilitate technical sessions to troubleshoot issues and remove barriers to project success. The TPM will be able to build cross-functional matrix-based teams, establish trust with a variety of stakeholders across multiple time zones, manage capital budgets, eliminate unnecessary activity, design solutions, remove blockers, and find creative ways to accelerate project delivery.
The ideal candidate will be a strong communicator (both written and verbal), and possess at least 7 years of experience in project management of technical initiatives, as well as strategic program management.
Strong judgement, negotiation skills, ability to influence without authority, analytical talent and leadership along with the capacity to thrive and succeed in a fast-paced environment and not be hindered by ambiguity or competing priorities are a must. In addition to those with Data Centre infrastructure delivery experience, candidates possessing a proven success in architecture/design, mechanical/electrical engineering, software/network engineering and IT/telecom infrastructure deployments, who have some experience being programme managers, will have a distinct advantage.
The TPM will be familiar with a variety of project management tools, methodologies and techniques for all phases of the project lifecycle. They'll be able to 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.
Do you look around corners to find ways of optimising resources and speeding up delivery? Do you enjoy dealing with ambiguity and finding solutions independently? Are you passionate about using technology to solve business problems that have a big customer impact?
Please come and build the future with us.
