Amazon Web Services (AWS) has a growing Land Development division within its Data Center Real Estate organization that has spent the past year establishing its foundation. We are now looking for a Technical Program Manager to help take this team to the next level by strengthening the operational backbone of the program. This role does not manage land development projects directly. Instead, you will support the land development program by maturing the mechanisms, reporting structures, and operational cadences that allow the team to deliver at scale.
The Land Development team is responsible for taking raw land from acquisition through entitlement and pad ready turnover for AWS data center campuses. To support this team effectively, you need to understand what they do. You should be familiar with the language and workflow of land development, things like due diligence, geotech investigations, municipal entitlements, civil engineering design, utility coordination, and site construction. You do not need to be the person negotiating entitlement agreements or reviewing a grading plan, but you do need to understand why those activities matter, how long they take, where they sit in a project timeline, and what risks they carry.
Your job is to help this division mature into a high performing program. That means refining Monthly Business Reviews, sharpening performance metrics, improving standardized reporting, identifying bottlenecks across the portfolio, and making sure leadership has clear visibility into how the program is performing. The team has the early structures in place and now needs someone who can build on that foundation, fill the gaps, and create the kind of operational rigor that supports continued growth. You will also work closely with a dedicated AI engineer on the team to explore how automation, machine learning, and data tools can improve program reporting, streamline workflows, and surface insights across the portfolio in ways that manual processes cannot.
