Technical Program Manager, Cost Management

AWS Data Center Capacity Delivery (DCCD) is looking for a Technical Program Manager to develop and implement a cost management platform to support the global DCCD organization. Responsibilities include establishing the product roadmap, tool development, and ongoing maintenance. In addition to these responsibilities, this role also has program management duties such as inventing and simplifying processes, managing program communications, onboarding and training users, and establishing training and program related documentation.

This Technical Program Manager must be detailed, flexible, and take strong ownership of a global user base, including system functionality and process implementation. The successful candidate will be obsessed with internal and external system user groups, responsible for scoping and driving implementation of system functionality to the global team. They can work independently to prioritize, craft, and execute deliverables as well as effectively work with partner teams that impact their primary user group.

​​This role sits within DCCD and is part of a larger organization that is diverse, positive, exceptionally talented, and driven. This organization is responsible for the design, construction, and operation of industry-leading data center facilities. The candidate must excel at managing multiple priorities and learning the pain points of their primary users. They must execute system implementation effectively across subject matter experts with a broad range of disciplines or cultural and regional differences. The ideal candidate operates effectively in an ambiguous environment and drives structure without constraining business objectives. They have a demonstrated track record of managing multiple projects and driving them to completion. Because this role influences global team members, the candidate must also be highly collaborative, able to influence without authority, and able to work with significant autonomy.​
