Description

Are you passionate about shaping the future of Amazon's global workplace portfolio through strategic capital investment? Amazon's Global Real Estate & Facilities (GREF) team manages 68.7 million rentable square feet across three regions — North America (AMER), Asia Pacific (APAC), and Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) — and we're building a world-class capital planning function to ensure our workplaces support Amazonians in doing their best work. As a Senior Program Manager in Capital Planning supporting both Design, Sustainability & Engineering (DSE) and Global Construction (GC) teams you'll own the development and execution of site-level capital plans that connect renovation strategy to long-term portfolio investment decisions across our global office footprint.

Key job responsibilities
- Own the development and maintenance of five-year site-level capital plans for GREF CORE buildings globally, ensuring alignment with the Global Portfolio Vision and renovation strategy framework
- Lead the annual Portfolio Review process (Q1) across five steps: Core Site Determination, five-Year Plan Scoping, five-Year Plan Review, Site-Level Capital Plan development, and five-Year Plan Approval
- Coordinate cross-functional stakeholders — including Portfolio Strategy, Design, Engineering, Construction (Pre-Con), Regional Portfolio Management, Occupancy Planning, Finance, and Sustainability — to develop integrated renovation plans
- Develop and maintain capital planning artefacts including site fact sheets, prioritisation scorecards, site-level budgets, charters/scopes, and schedules at appropriate fidelity levels (Full Charter for FY-1, Light Charter for FY-2, High/Medium/Low assessment for FY-3-5)
- Drive the Capital Plan Refinement process (Q2/Q3) leading up to OP2, ensuring the following fiscal year's plan is refined and the 3-Year Forecast is updated and submitted to FP&A
- Apply the renovation prioritisation framework — Must-Dos, Space Layout Consistency with Current BOD, Customer Satisfaction Scores, and Building Condition — to inform capital allocation decisions


A day in the life
As a Senior Program Manager in Capital Planning, you'll drive the end-to-end rhythm of business for developing and maintaining site-level capital plans across Amazon’s global corporate portfolio. You'll coordinate the annual Portfolio Review process — from core site determination through five-Year Plan approval — working backwards from OP1/3YF timelines to ensure capital plans are developed, refined, and approved on schedule.

On any given day, you might be gathering inputs from regional portfolio management, portfolio strategy and occupancy planning teams; facilitating a cross-functional scoping session with Design, Engineering, and Construction; analysing Workplace Experience Survey (WES) data and building condition assessments to prioritise capital investments; and/or presenting the global capital plan to executive leadership and Finance for approval.

You'll manage competing priorities across MEP infrastructure, sustainability, workplace functionality and customer (employee) satisfaction surveys and occupancy strategies — ensuring plans are logistically feasible, financially sound, and aligned to GREF's renovation strategy tenets.



About the team
The Design & Construction (D&C) team within GREF is responsible for delivering Amazon's workplace environments — from pre-construction planning and design through construction execution and handover. The Capital Planning function sits within D&C's Project Controls & Programs group and serves as the bridge between strategic business objectives and capital execution. We work cross-functionally with Portfolio Strategy, Regional Portfolio Management, Engineering, Finance, and Sustainability to develop and maintain five-year capital plans for GREF's core sites.

Our mission is to ensure efficient, proactive capital investment that maintains our assets, renovates underperforming spaces, and meets sustainability requirements — all aligned to GREF's Global Portfolio Vision.
