Data Center Infrastructure Delivery Manager

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 software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly 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 Infrastructure Delivery team is looking for a Manager to join our expanding Infrastructure Operations team. The Infrastructure Delivery Manager manages the implementation and delivery of inbound capacity and equipment.

If you would like to use people skills and technical knowledge and apply them to delivering on-time, defect-free service, we’d like to meet you. Your work will help to create sustainable processes and standards; and drive automation opportunities to reduce delivery cycle times and to improve quality without impacting network availability.

This role will be physically based at our new MDD Pecos, TX site.
