Operations Program Manager Jobs in Silver Spring, MD

This role is with our AWS Global Field Operations - delivering a new way for Infrastructure to our customers. AWS Global Field Operations brings native AWS services, infrastructure, and operating models to virtually any data center, co-location space, or on-premises facility. Customers can now use the same AWS APIs, tools, and infrastructure across their on-premises and the AWS cloud to deliver a truly consistent hybrid experience.

The provided AWS infrastructure is fully managed, maintained, and supported by AWS directly to deliver access to the latest AWS capabilities for our customers.
We are looking for an Operations PM Lead (Program Manager II) who is highly autonomous, possesses a "can do" attitude, and thrives in a fast-paced work environment. The Operations PM Lead drives customer experience by owning the overall program management, scheduling, coordination, and supply chain operations associated with AWS installations and servicing efforts completed onsite at client premises. The Operations PM Lead is responsible for building scalable processes and deploying operational strategies that ensure required supporting teams are at the right place at the right time, thereby enabling the achievement of defined service-level targets (SLTs)

The Operations PM Lead continuously identifies and drives continuous process improvement initiatives that strengthen our end-to-end operational processes and logistics efforts by effectively partnering with internal teams, external partners, customers, and third-party servicing providers to deliver meaningful results.
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.
