Key job responsibilities
Define and develop large-scale technical strategies across multiple team boundaries, coordinated with internal and external stakeholders to drive AWS objectives. Set vision and design long-term solutions where problems may be ambiguous, delivering with complete independence when necessary.

Solve significantly complex or systemic scheduling problems by originating and delivering innovative, scalable technical and commercial solutions. Deliver solutions through technical papers, direct product feedback, agreements, revised vendor contracts, new Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and policy updates.

Develop scalable and repeatable schedule management solutions that enable AWS to scale. Leverage subject matter expertise to identify root causes to business-critical scheduling issues, formulate strategies, and propose solutions to address root causes (e.g., design changes, single points of failure, regulatory changes).

Lead and mentor a team of Schedule Controls Managers and contracted Schedulers, providing guidance and development opportunities.

Develop and analyze project schedules (L1-L5), identifying critical paths and optimization opportunities to ensure timely project delivery.

Facilitate Interactive Project Planning Meetings (IPPM) with internal and external stakeholders to align on schedule expectations and deliverables.

Conduct schedule risk assessments and what-if scenarios to proactively identify and mitigate potential delays.

Review and validate contractor schedules and resource loading to ensure accuracy and feasibility.

Prepare executive-level schedule status reports and dashboards for leadership visibility.

Oversee Earned Value Management (EVM) implementation for schedule tracking and performance measurement.

Support schedule forensic analysis and improvement initiatives to drive continuous optimization.
