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 network engineers, supply chain specialists, operations managers, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver 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 Global Network Deployment (GND) organization is looking to hire an experienced Technical Infra Program Manager to join our Intel & Reporting team (I&R) to support GND’s fast growing operations. The GND organization owns the delivery of physical network infrastructure for core data centers and Edge points-of-presence (PoPs) globally through planning, deployment, and process optimization. This role will be responsible for capital management and budgeting for cabling installation in our global data centers. The ideal candidate will excel in cost modeling, CapEx management, and strategic financial planning. You will lead the annual budgeting process, develop and maintain CapEx forecasting models, and drive cost control initiatives across our global operations. This role requires strong analytical skills to identify cost-saving opportunities and provide valuable insights to senior leadership. You will collaborate closely with operational and finance stakeholders, manage funding appropriation requests, and continually refine our metrics and KPIs. The successful candidate will play a crucial role in optimizing our cabling infrastructure investments, balancing operational needs with financial efficiency in a dynamic, global environment.
