    Description

    About the Team

    AWS Global Energy is responsible for powering the world"s most demanding cloud infrastructure. The team is organized across three verticals: Global Energy Strategy (GES), which leads the development of innovative commercial structures to meet capacity demand and AWS"s carbon-free energy commitments; Power Generation Solutions (PGS), the single-threaded owner for AWS power generation and energy engineering - delivering capacity solutions aligned with AWS"s availability, reliability, sustainability, and redundancy requirements and managing the production readiness lifecycle of AWS-owned or commissioned generation and storage assets; and Energy Portfolio Operations (EPO), which owns Amazon"s global renewable PPA portfolio and AWS CFE supply agreements. Global Energy partners closely with regional data center planning and delivery, global sustainability, and broader Amazon business units on energy procurement and infrastructure needs.

    About the Role

    As a Senior Technical Program Manager on the PGS leadership team, you will report directly to the Head of Power Generation Solutions and serve as a strategic partner to PGS and Global Energy leadership. This is a dual-scope role: you will own technical program management for AWS"s Nuclear power program - one of the most consequential and complex emerging energy portfolios in the industry - while also driving cross-cutting strategy, controllership, and operational mechanisms for PGS and the broader Global Energy organization.

    You will work at the intersection of technical execution and business strategy, partnering with PGS engineering leads, Global Energy Principals, Energy Portfolio Operations, Finance, and senior AWS leadership to ensure our programs are on track, our organization is scaled appropriately, and our strategy is clear and actionable. You"ll engage external partners, facilitate senior executive interactions, and serve as a trusted voice for PGS in cross-organizational forums.

    This role is right for someone who thrives in ambiguity, thinks big, and can operate with equal fluency in a technical design review and a VP-level strategy session.

    About You

    You have a track record of delivering complex, ambiguous programs at scale - and doing it with the business acumen and executive presence to bring senior leaders along. You are data-driven but not data-bound; you know when to go deep and when to synthesize. You write clearly, speak directly, and earn trust quickly across organizational boundaries.

    You are energized by consequential work. AWS"s power strategy is shaping how the world"s infrastructure gets built - and this role sits at the center of it.

    Basic Qualifications

    Experience in technical program management, strategy, or related fields in a large-scale infrastructure, energy, or technology organization

    Experience managing complex, multi-stakeholder programs with senior leadership visibility

    Strong analytical skills with demonstrated ability to translate data into strategic recommendations

    Excellent written and verbal communication skills; experience preparing materials for VP-level audiences

    Lead Global Energy controllership mechanisms, including headcount and resource planning, hiring performance tracking, and operating cadence - ensuring leadership has timely, accurate visibility into organizational health and delivery status.

    Build and maintain trusted relationships with Finance, Talent Acquisition, Human Resources, and partner delivery organizations to ensure Global Energy"s full scope of needs is represented in cross-organizational planning.

    It’s Always Day 1
    At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
