Senior program manager role to design, implement, and oversee global cost control and compliance for AWS data center acquisition and construction programs. Responsibilities include financial forecasting and analysis, reporting and visualization, process compliance, training, automation of performance metrics, and presenting insights to senior leadership. Requires engineering degree, construction management experience for MEP systems, program/project management background, and proficiency with BI tools and large-scale cost controls.
We are seeking a Global Cost Control and Compliance Program Manager to oversee and optimize our organization's financial compliance and reporting on a global scale. In this role, you will be responsible for developing, implementing, and managing cost process compliance while providing global reporting across all global business units.
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.

2. Monitor and analyze financial data to identify trends, risks, and opportunities for improvement.
3. Partner with training leads and stakeholders to ensure cost control process compliance. Develop and deliver training programs to enhance awareness and understanding of cost control and compliance measures.
4. Develop and implement global cost control strategies to optimize operational efficiency and minimize expenses. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify cost-saving opportunities and drive continuous improvement initiatives.
5. Develop operational planning tracking compared to actual cost spend and develop automation to report out performance indicators.
6. Report on financial models factoring DC infrastructure variables including design, supply chain, schedule, and macroeconomic parameters to live-forecast operational planning numbers.
