Description

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is growing rapidly, and we are looking for an Infrastructure Delivery Manager to join our expanding Infrastructure Operations team.

AWS is a fast paced technology company and a leader in the world of data centers. We are currently looking for a proven technology manager with experience in people management, robust technical understanding and the drive and vision to take AWS Data Center Operations to the next level. The successful candidate for this role will create sustainable processes and standards; and drive automation opportunities to reduce delivery cycle times and to improve quality without impacting network availability.

The mission of the team is to deliver network capacity on time with zero rework. The Infrastructure Delivery Manager will manage the implementation and delivery of inbound capacity and equipment. This manager will be responsible for a growing a team and will oversee their development and growth. The successful candidate will have experience managing and mentoring people, tracking budgets, providing strategic direction and proposing technical solutions. This manager will ultimately be responsible for installing and delivering our network equipment and related infrastructures, as well as responsible for driving low voltage structured cabling across the Amazon data center platform.

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.

Some high level responsibilities include:

· Prioritize and assign tasks to data center technicians and operators

· Manage inbound hardware installation from receiving through deployment stages

· Manage the installation of cabling infrastructure in a data center environment

· Guide, train and educate staff on the best practices related to all service owner issues

· Manage tasks and deliverables across small to large-size projects

· Recommend, document, and oversee policies and procedures to meet industry best practices and to meet required SLAs

· Provide weekly reporting to the data center managers

· Coordinate team resources to support project and delivery needs, to include emergency projects, change management and maintenance window support, and potential off-hours and on-call needs.

· Recruit and train data technicians to ensure appropriate staffing levels

· Host weekly staff meetings

· Drive compliance to Amazon performance management requirements

About the team

This role requires managers to conduct in person safety inspections, meetings, and operational tasks across our Northern Virginia data center locations. Attendance in person at weekly regional manager staff meetings at AWS corporate locations (Herndon, VA) may be required.

AWS Infrastructure & Network Services teams are building intelligent software to automate the infrastructure operations that drive Amazon Web Services. We’re providing internal and external customers the opportunities to consume infrastructure directly, without human intervention. Our teams leverage AWS technology to support data center operations, networking, infrastructure, and support engineering and development. Come join us to build, architect, design and implement distributed systems that provide availability, scalability and latency guarantees across the full breadth of AWS services.
