Description

We are seeking a Global Program Manager for the AWS Data Center Physical Security team.

In this role you will be responsible for scoping and delivering large programs end-to-end.

The position demands a self-starter who can navigate ambiguity, earn trust across multiple teams, and expand proven mechanisms beyond DC Security to benefit the broader organization. Success in this role means delivering high-quality analyses and strategic recommendations that influence operational direction within tight timeframes, while maintaining the highest standards for safety, security, and customer impact that define AWS Infrastructure Services.
