At AWS, we're working to be the most customer centric company on earth. To get there, we need exceptionally talented, smart, and driven individual. The Data Center Central Operations team works with the hundreds of AWS data centers around the globe to deliver the highest quality and lowest cost physical security, availability, capacity, and scaling results for our customers. Our aim is to standardize operations globally by delivering tools, policy, processes and procedures to our internal teams. The team is seeking a Technical Program Manger to solve innovative problems via business process and technology innovations. They will be a highly visible leader that will own the communication, coordination, and execution of a multi-year program vision. Our mission is to provide critical data to operators and engineers that enables them to make informed decisions for maintenance of data center facilities. Our team of TPMs work with senior product and engineering leaders to define strategy and requirements. They design, coordinate, and execute technical solutions that scale globally. Managing numerous complex systems and organizations, they are expected to make appropriate trade-offs between business vs. technical constraints, clearly communicate goals, roles, and responsibilities. They also identify opportunities to converge overlapping technical efforts, and drive the long term strategy.
