Amazon Web Services provides a highly reliable, scalable, low-cost infrastructure platform in the cloud that powers hundreds of thousands of businesses in 190 countries around the world. To meet the growing demand for AWS Services around the globe, we need exceptionally talented, bright, and driven people.
Amazon’s network is a key differentiator for Amazon Cloud Computing and Web Services (AWS), enabling the global operation of thousands of applications across hundreds of thousands of servers worldwide. As our regions continue to grow, we are looking for a networks-focused Senior Technical Infrastructure Program Manager to execute and deliver our solutions, and help us to continue to build the largest network in the world.
The ideal candidate will be an experienced Senior Technical Infrastructure Program Manager who will be responsible for leading multiple simultaneous networking programs in a highly cross-functional environment which includes internal customers, network engineering, network deployment and operations teams, as well as external vendors. You must have a proven track record of project completion that is on time and within budget, be able to establish trust with a variety of stakeholders and customers, manage capital budgets, eliminate non-value-add activity and find creative ways to accelerate project delivery.
You will be an exceptional communicator, able to discuss technical concepts, identify project implementation issues and work with highly technical teams to remove barriers to project success. At some point in your career you likely occupied a networking engineering position, so that you have the technical depth to visualise how network solutions fit together, know how to deliver safely into production environments, and are able to command the intellectual respect of the engineers you work with. Experience working with large scale networks and network automation and provisioning systems is a distinct advantage.
As well as your technical capability in program management, you will have a strong sense of helping people succeed together with friendliness, respect and integrity, while dealing with ambiguity with grace and maturity. And, of course, you will always be focused on delivering the best outcomes for your customers, helping Amazon's mission to be Earth's most customer-centric company.
This role will own end-to-end delivery of a large, and ambiguous program to deliver networking capabilities for our partners. You will lead a matrix team, across multiple organizations and executives, to plan, design, present, and implement these solutions. This is a high visibility, and high impact role.
