Successful candidates will be proficient in project management tools and methodologies for all phases of a project's lifecycle, demonstrating proficiency in core project management disciplines including scope, schedule, budget, resources, quality, and risk management.

This position requires 10% domestic travel (trips to local AWS Data Center Clusters) and 5% international travel.

Key job responsibilities:

1. Leading, hiring, and developing a team of Technical Infrastructure Program Managers (TIPMs).
2. Serving as the cross-functional regional lead for the Japan and Korea regions.
3. Demonstrating tactical and strategic thinking to ensure data center delivery for customers.
4. Developing and reviewing metrics and assessing performance against targets.
5. Monitoring in-flight projects, major risks, and improvement efforts.
6. Diving deep into capacity issues to identify risks and opportunities.
7. Identifying opportunities to invent and simplify processes.
8. Providing concise written and verbal communication to stakeholders.
9. Managing metrics, tools, and mechanisms to ensure stakeholder awareness of ongoing risks.
10. Identifying alternative solutions and driving remediation efforts.

A day in the life: In this role, you will drive the execution of data center delivery programs in the Japan and South Korea regions by collaborating with internal and external stakeholders. You will lead stakeholder meetings, share progress, and escalate quickly to deliver business outcomes.
