Employment Information
4+ years of experience in Data Center Operations or similar roles in a mission critical environment.
4+ years building strong, successful technical teams in a similar culture.
Team, organizational and planning skills, as well as excellent time management skills to balance workloads in a complex and dynamic environment.
Proven track record of success in delivering complex projects with keen attention to detail.
Prior ownership of the operation of a mission-critical team and/or product.
Ability to consistently deliver results despite competing priorities and distractions.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is growing rapidly, and we are looking for a Data Center Operations Manager to join our expanding Infrastructure Operations team.
We are looking for a manager with experience in people leadership, a passion to understand data center operations and infrastructure, and the drive and vision to take AWS Data Center Operations into the future.
As the Data Center Manager, you will lead a team of data center technicians and manage one or more physical sites within an AWS region. You will have managerial responsibility for safety, security, availability, scaling, costs and efficiency for their department. You will lead the team that is maintaining network and server equipment in a safe, secure and cost-effective manner across the region.
As the Data Center Operations Manager, you will manage across each function and dive deep into any given function as needed.
AWS Infrastructure Services 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. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we’re looking for talented people who want to help.
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.
