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.

- Design Engineering to coordinate project specific inputs, constraints and risks into designs;
- Procurement to secure on time delivery of critical equipment;
- Construction Management to track budget & progress; and
- Operations to complete the project with successful handover, to name but a few.
On the strategic programs, this leader works closely with Data Center Engineering, Data Science, Operations and Business development teams to identify areas of improvement, drive design enhancement programs that continually raise the bar for operational standards in our Data Centers, with particular focus on Colocation data centers across EMEA.
This leader is also responsible for executive communications for their programs and the business implication from capacity perspective.
As a successful candidate, you will have people management experience, is able to build trust and relationships with various senior stakeholders, and has great problem solving and experience in program management of technical initiatives. You are passionate about leveraging data to deliver actionable insights that impact daily business, have a strong delivery record and experienced in driving execution in a cross-functional and ambiguous environment, backed by analysis and data.
