Enviro Program Manager - EMS, AWS Environmental

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.

We are searching for a Program Manager to partner with internal teams in the field and corporate-levels to serve as the central technical resource to drive highest level of data center environmental management systems on behalf of our customers demand for ISO 14001 EMS (Environmental Management System). An EMS is a set of mechanisms, processes and technologies that collectively through data driven decisions, enable the Enviro Team, both in the field and programs, to systematically and continually, over time, reduce its environmental impacts and increase its program scalability throughout all data centers in the field, its operating effectiveness and efficiency. The successful candidate will have a results-oriented approach, strong analytical skill set, and proven ability to independently lead complex projects across multiple teams. You will be expected to represent the AWS Environmental team internally as well as to external groups, including vendors, customers, and policy makers. You will be responsible for developing, implementing and standardizing our EMS programs globally as well as developing metrics and reporting progress to internal stakeholders.

This individual will focus on implementing programs that ensure we meet our regulatory and sustainability obligations globally while also driving continuous improvements in our EMS program.
