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.

And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.

You will conduct modeling and scenario analysis and make data-driven recommendations that inform capacity and capital expenditure decisions. You will partner with key stakeholders to bridge changes in demand, address short- and long-term capacity constraints, and write supporting documentation for capital expenditures. You will drive accountability across the infrastructure organization and develop mechanisms to monitor and escalate against the health of the infrastructure business to executive leadership. A successful candidate enjoys problem solving, is comfortable discovering, accessing, and working with data from multiple sources, is passionate about building and improving highly accurate and robust forecasting models, and is enthusiastic about partnering with other teams across the business to deliver results. They are adept at working with remote partners and stakeholders to deliver novel and sometimes pioneering solutions; building data-driven business cases for supply proposals; identifying, assessing, and mitigating downstream risk; troubleshooting unforeseen and time-critical planning issues as they arise; and dealing with persistent uncertainty, pitfalls, and change to meet peculiar and unfamiliar requirements. Key job responsibilities - Streamline reporting, benchmark forecasting assumptions and highlight key supportability risks for stakeholders. - Dive deep into planning models to identify risks and opportunities for region health and resolve constraints by negotiating across demand and supply owners. - Execute capacity delivery planning for short-term (0-24 months) with responsibilities to identify capacity risks, develop, and initiate capacity shortfall mitigation strategies. - Manage capacity build and position inventory which includes rack retirement and migration planning, coordinating network requirements, addressing position usability defects, and managing power usage optimization projects. - Identify opportunities to invent and simplify processes, identify business risks and implement resolutions and scalable mechanism. - Communicate ideas concisely to a wide variety of stakeholders for purposes ranging from informative to seeking approvals from executives.
