Sr. Technical Infrastructure Program Manager, Global Field Operations, AWS Global Field Ops (GFO)

Amazon • Herndon, VA

22h • $148,700 - $201,200 • Onsite

About The Position

This role is with our AWS Global Field Operations – delivering a new way for Infrastructure to our customers. Global Field Operations (GFO) is a team within AWS Infrastructure Services that manages all non-traditional infrastructure deployments - everything outside of data centers. We operate in 80+ countries, serving strategic customers at high velocity and complexity. We move fast, scale relentlessly, and obsess over delivering complex hardware to where it needs to go, on time. You will own multiple net-new programs simultaneously — GFO new customers/partners implementations, Outposts parts reuse and sustainability initiatives, new hardware enablement, new tools and software implementations, and emerging scope that doesn’t have a playbook yet. You'll partner with engineering, automation, process, and governance teams to bring new tools and systems from concept to steady state before transitioning to operations. You'll draft BRDs, PRFAQs, and proposals for director-level approvals, and negotiate with director-level stakeholders to define what "good" looks like for programs that don’t exist today. This is not a role where you execute someone else's plan. You define the plan, build the business case, get buy-in from senior leaders, and drive execution across regions and teams.
