Senior Permit Program Manager, AWS Data Center Supply Solutions
Job ID: 2644096 | Amazon Data Services, Inc.
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.
The Senior Permit Manager role - based in either Seattle, WA, Arlington, VA, or Austin, TX – will be responsible for identifying all permitting requirements associated with the design and construction of data centers in jurisdictions where AWS doesn't have an existing infrastructure presence. The Permit Manager will be responsible for working with internal stakeholders (e.g. real estate, engineering, construction, utility, and environment teams) to develop a permitting strategy, ensure that strategy is being executed effectively, and identify and mitigate risks associated with the permitting process.
A successful candidate in this role will have a proven track record of delivering multiple, high-priority projects with tight timelines that require strong project management of and extensive communication with partner teams, outside consultants and counsel, and authorities having jurisdiction.
Key job responsibilities
• Identify all permits required to construct data center infrastructure.
• Coordinate internal and external project development teams to develop and execute a permitting plan, ensuring all partner teams are performing required actions at the appropriate time.
• Own key relationships with authorities having jurisdiction and other key external stakeholders to act as a single point of contact for all strategic permit discussions and escalations.
• Identify, assess, mitigate and communicate risks to the permitting strategy to internal stakeholders and leadership.
• Where appropriate, engage and manage the work of permitting consultants and specialists.
• Track real-time permit delivery metrics and complete after-action reviews to identify and solution opportunities for process improvement.
• Up to 25% travel
