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.

Our team is looking for an individual with a track record for managing programs, including planning, launching and executing initiatives that drive excellence.

The right candidate can manage multiple projects simultaneously, has an analytical skill set, and experience managing contracts.
