Amazon is looking for a Program Manager with a strong delivery record and proven program management experience to own strategic, tactical, cross-functional programs in Data Center Operations. This role requires scoping and creating project plans, developing processes, coordinating and driving execution, and communicating to management on status, risks and process changes. Cross-team coordination, project management and executive presentation skills are essential. The ideal candidate will leverage extensive program management experience, combined with deep analytical capabilities and a keen sense of innovation, to lead programs from conception to completion. We are actively seeking an experienced Program Manager with a strong background in strategic planning to lead key initiatives that align with our long-term business objectives. This role is ideal for individuals who excel in transforming visions into actionable plans and guiding those plans to fruition. In this role, you will be identifying critical business opportunities and challenges, and in devising innovative solutions to address them. You will work closely with various internal teams and stakeholders, harmonizing different perspectives and ensuring cohesive efforts towards common goals. 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.
