About The Position

Amazon Web Services (AWS) serves customers and developers who rely on storage,
compute, and our other service capabilities. Our customers trust us to handle
their data with air-tight security measures, which is something that we
guarantee.

AWS is growing rapidly, and we are looking for a Data Center Security Manager to
join our expanding Infrastructure Operations team.

As a Data Center Security Manager (individual contributor) you will be tasked
with driving operational security excellence in several separate facilities
located within a short driving distance. Your constant vigilance will discover
physical security gaps and shortcomings, which you will drive to fix
immediately. You will interface and direct vendors involved in new security
construction, repairs, daily security operations and patrols, and planning. You
will extract metrics and observe improvements by looking at hard data. You will
make suggestions on improving electronic surveillance and access controls. You
will direct efforts to educate data center occupants on false alarm reductions.
You will write and implement security process and procedures. Your position will
require you to write reports, create presentations and communicate with
management on the status of physical security operations.

AWS Infrastructure Services (AIS) 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.

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.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted
cloud platform. We pioneered cloud computing and never stopped innovating —
that’s why customers from the most successful startups to Global 500 companies
trust our robust suite of products and services to power their businesses.

Here at AWS, it’s in our nature to learn and be curious. Our employee-led
affinity groups foster a culture of inclusion that empower us to be proud of our
differences. Ongoing events and learning experiences, including our
Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon conferences, inspire us
to never stop embracing our uniqueness.

We’re continuously raising our performance bar as we strive to become Earth’s
Best Employer. That’s why you’ll find endless knowledge-sharing, mentorship and
other career-advancing resources here to help you develop into a better-rounded
professional.

We value work-life harmony. Achieving success at work should never come at the
expense of sacrifices at home, which is why we strive for flexibility as part of
our working culture. When we feel supported in the workplace and at home,
there’s nothing we can’t achieve.
