This role sits within AWS Infrastructure Services, the organization responsible for designing, planning, delivering, and operating the global infrastructure that keeps AWS running. The team supports the data centers and the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling systems that enable customers to access AWS services reliably. The work is complex and highly variable, involving large-scale supply chain, technical, and operational challenges. In this environment, you would join a broad group of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security professionals, operations managers, and other key specialists, all working together to deliver safe, secure, and cost-effective infrastructure at scale.<\/p>\n

AWS is looking for a highly motivated Project Controls Manager to support critical infrastructure projects in operational data centers. The role is centered on planning, monitoring, and improving project performance so that scope, schedule, cost, and resource goals are met. It also involves providing data-backed insight, forecasting, and governance to help leaders make decisions across complex capital projects in a fast-moving setting. Success in the role depends on strong analytical thinking, careful attention to detail, and the ability to identify risks, ask the right technical questions, and help teams make informed trade-offs when priorities, resources, and escalations need to be managed.<\/p>\n

The position also requires strong business judgment and the ability to understand how project decisions support broader organizational goals. You will need excellent written and verbal communication skills to run productive meetings with important stakeholders and guide both business and technical conversations toward clear outcomes. The role expects full fluency with project management tools, methods, and techniques across the entire project lifecycle, along with proven strength in the core disciplines of project initiation, planning, budgeting, resourcing, risk management, metric reporting, quality control, and closeout. Deep knowledge of project management, cost and schedule planning, and critical infrastructure systems is essential for making sound technical trade-offs that balance immediate team needs with longer-term business priorities.<\/p>\n

In addition to managing controls and reporting, the role is expected to drive improvement. That includes using analytical data to influence better quality, higher productivity, and lower cost, as well as taking ownership to create positive change. The successful candidate will provide strategic input during monthly business reviews and deliver accurate, timely portfolio reporting to business and finance partners. Amazon also describes the ideal person as someone who is comfortable with ambiguity, enjoys new challenges, is candid about their own performance, and is naturally curious.<\/p>\n

What you will do<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Build high-level operating plans with partner teams that define scope, delivery timing, staffing, and budget needs, with planning horizons extending at least 12 to 18 months to support future headcount and investment visibility.<\/li>\n
  • Bring consistency to portfolio management by standardizing the processes, tools, data structures, and reporting requirements used to measure key performance indicators.<\/li>\n
  • Standardize planning inputs for both existing and new programs, including scope, cost, labor, and schedule estimates, to improve portfolio planning quality.<\/li>\n
  • Develop and implement better cost and labor estimating approaches that use actual performance data and automated feedback loops to improve future estimates over time.<\/li>\n
  • Set and manage goals tied to safety, quality, team productivity, vendor performance, and cost control.<\/li>\n
  • Prepare clear, accurate, and timely portfolio status reporting for business and finance stakeholders.<\/li>\n
  • Facilitate value stream mapping workshops with stakeholders to measure throughput, identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies, determine root causes, and design solutions that improve process performance and support program outcomes.<\/li>\n
  • Gather input from internal customers and stakeholders and turn that feedback into portfolio and program improvements.<\/li>\n
  • Use change, risk, and resource management practices to adapt plans as organizational needs shift.<\/li>\n
  • Create new programs that support the strategic direction of the team and align with organizational objectives.<\/li>\n
  • Contribute strategic insight during monthly business reviews and help guide decisions across stakeholder groups.<\/li>\n
  • Use data and analysis to drive improvements in quality, productivity, and cost across the portfolio.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
