Join the team that is evolving how all of AWS manages headcount! Work across business leaders and teams to strategically shape AWS headcount management, organizational design, and operations while simultaneously developing and sharing best practices.

Headcount management at AWS global scale is often complex, with multiple systems, mechanisms, and processes that, often do not provide the flexibility that individual teams or organizations require to run their businesses. We are building the next gen headcount management system for the future at AWS and seeking a highly driven program management professional to help us build the accompanying processes and mechanisms to drive adoption and change management across AWS. This will require working across teams that span multiple geographies to gain alignment, design, and execute on scalable headcount management and tracking programs, and implementing new standards across different organizations within the company. This requires working effectively with global business owners at all levels in Utility Computing, Sales and Marketing, Infrastructure, Recruiting, Finance, HR, and other central teams to ensure the efficacy of our programs.

This Sr. Program Manager executes with a strategic focus yet is detail-oriented, must have solid analytical skills, demonstrates strong project management skills, and has the ability to gather business and technical requirements across teams to drive systems and change management processes. In addition, (s)he will partner with the different stakeholder groups to plan, deliver, test, deploy, and improve business solutions. This PM will need to roll up their sleeves, work independently, and have an extremely high level of ownership and accountability. Cross-team coordination, project management, and excellent communication skills are essential!
