Amazon Data Center Jobs in Tennessee (NOW HIRING)

The Technical Infrastructure Program Manager III (TIPM III) within Data Center Infrastructure Engineering (DCIE) manages the lifecycle of complex, cross-functional infrastructure programs across Amazon Fulfillment and Logistics operations worldwide. This role operates both tactically and strategically - owning end-to-end program execution while defining program mission, vision, and long-term roadmaps that influence business and technology selections within a VP organization.
The TIPM III drives collaboration across engineering, operations, vendors, finance, and field teams to deliver scalable, reliable, and cost-effective infrastructure.

This role requires the ability to navigate ambiguity where deployment strategy may not yet be defined, negotiate resources and priorities across teams, and find paths forward in difficult situations - all while mentoring others and driving process improvement.
