The AWS Data Center Community (DCC) organization is looking for an individual with proven and tested leadership skills to join the Facility Operation Center (FOC) team. The FOC launched as a singular support team to proactively monitor the life-safety systems and the infrastructure equipment alarms that provides power and cooling to the platform on a global 24x7x365 basis.

We support Data Center Engineer Operations teams who are responsible for the operation of infrastructure equipment.
The FOC TPM owns complex programs within the Facility Operations Center, managing the full lifecycle of cross-functional technology initiatives that span multiple teams across the DCC organization and adjacent stakeholder groups. You deliver independently with limited guidance, driving clarity where the business problem, program strategy, and technology solutions may not yet be defined.

You are accountable for defining program vision, securing organizational alignment, and delivering critical solutions that measurably improve operational efficiency, engineering capability, and event response quality at a global scale.
As a program owner, you are accountable for the end-to-end strategy and execution of your program area - not just individual projects within it. You define the program roadmap, identify dependencies across organizations, negotiate resources and priorities with senior leadership, and manage the lifecycle of complex initiatives from concept through delivery and sustainment.

You unblock teams, increase speed of delivery, and find a path forward in difficult situations. You make trade-offs between short-term operational needs and long-term strategic goals, and you escalate effectively when required.
You drive clarity by working backwards from customer impact, identifying systemic issues through data analysis, and building the strategic case for investment.

You influence system owners, architecture decisions, and organizational priorities within the FOC organization.
