DC Lifecycle PM, Data Center Lifecycle Management

The AWS Infrastructure Services team is searching for a passionate and talented Program Manager to drive the planning, coordination, and execution of data center cabling strategy and optimization across our global infrastructure. AWS is at the forefront of a rapidly changing industry, operating at a scale and complexity that has never been tackled before. This role sits at the intersection of tactical execution, strategic program management, and cross-functional leadership. You'll have unparalleled visibility into how AWS keeps the cloud running — supporting the data centers, servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling systems that millions of customers rely on every day.

This role influences how AWS optimizes its existing infrastructure cabling footprint through data-driven planning and disciplined execution. It is responsible for managing complex, multi-variable programs that span networking, infrastructure, and global decommissioning teams. It will be responsible for developing scalable workflows, process improvements, and reporting mechanisms that drive accountability and eliminate non-value-add activity. This role bridges project delivery teams, senior leadership, and cross-functional stakeholders by driving execution plans and surfacing critical decisions at the right level. This is a high-impact role offering an opportunity to Think Big while delivering results on the ground — directly shaping the reliability, cost efficiency, and risk posture of AWS's global cabling infrastructure. The ideal candidate is an exceptionally strong communicator, a trusted cross-functional partner, and a leader who thrives in ambiguity and drives clarity through structure.

Join us in keeping the engine of cloud computing running at global scale.
