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.
AWS Network Services has a vision to provide the network for the world’s workloads. We have made deep investments over the years to ensure that AWS has the networking capabilities required to run any workload in the cloud with availability, global coverage, and manageability. By joining the Network Services team, you will be a part of supplying the best and most consistent high performance for the broadest set of feature-rich applications. You will be at the forefront of delivering customer applications and content securely anywhere in the world.
AWS Network Services is looking for an experienced leader in our AWS Direct Connect organization to help us define product strategy and accelerate adoption of our services in the cloud.

The right person is naturally customer centric and thrives in a fast-paced environment that requires strong technical and business judgment and solid communication skills. This role is for someone with a proven ability to execute both strategically and tactically.
