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.
The Amazon Energy Procurement Operations (EPO) team is looking for an Energy Operations Manager to join us. EPO manages energy supply contracts post their execution, provides controllership for financial and operational performance, and ensures our supply portfolio is compliant with external regulations, contract obligations as well as internal policies. You will be a part of the team responsible for managing the portfolio of the world’s largest corporate buyer of renewables.
Our team is looking for an individual with a track record for managing programs, including planning, launching and executing initiatives that drive excellence. This role will support the management of our contracts in an assigned region, and will work collaboratively with stakeholders across the org to report, analyze and improve performance of our energy portfolio. The right candidate can manage multiple projects simultaneously, has an analytical skill set, and experience managing contracts.
Key job responsibilities

- Take part in shaping and implement the EPO programs (including contract management, financial performance and energy compliance with external and internal stakeholders) to meet the org’s goals and success metrics.
- Plan and drive execution of initiatives to improve our energy operations. Continuously seek to invent and simplify in order to achieve further scale effect for Amazon’s management of its energy portfolio.
- Work collaboratively with other AWS and Amazon teams to support the management of the energy programs.
