We are seeking a Senior Manager of Technical Infrastructure Program Managers (TIPMs) to lead our Machine Learning infrastructure delivery team across the Americas. As part of the Data Center Planning & Delivery (DCPD) organization, our team plans and delivers the physical data center infrastructure that powers AWS's rapidly growing Machine Learning and Generative AI services.
You will manage a team of managers and individual contributors responsible for the capacity planning and delivery of ML data center infrastructure at multi-gigawatt scale.
You will work across the entire AWS organization to develop both short- and long-range capacity plans, address infrastructure constraints, and drive projects from pipeline evaluation through site selection, design, construction, testing, and deployment.
The ideal candidate is a strong people leader and communicator who thrives in highly ambiguous, fast-paced environments. You will build and scale specialized teams delivering infrastructure in compressed timelines and greenfield locations. You possess proven judgment, relationship building skills, the ability to influence without authority across multiple organizations, and a track record of building organizational capabilities from scratch
Experience in data center infrastructure or large-scale capital program delivery is required.
You must be comfortable leading remote teams delivering novel solutions across multiple US regions; designing team structures and mechanisms to meet long-term business goals; managing complex stakeholder landscapes up to VP level; driving decisions across construction, energy, procurement, design, and finance teams; and navigating persistent ambiguity and change. You will build a strategy where none exists, establish organizational standards, and drive cross-functional alignment at scale.
If you are a builder who enjoys deploying technical and highly innovative projects at massive scale, and you want to help shape the future of AI infrastructure, this position is for you!
