Job description
Are you interested in being part of a high visibility, strategic team that delivers solutions at the intersection of data center infrastructure, energy and water?
The AWS Global Sustainability organization is seeking an Energy Efficiency Manager to lead high-impact energy and water efficiency initiatives across AWS's data center and IT infrastructure (AWS Infrastructure) footprint in the Americas. This role is the primary point of contact in the Americas to drive continual energy and water efficiency improvements, and to deliver regulatory requirements related to data center and IT infrastructure energy and water performance, efficiency, use and consumption.
You will own projects and programs ranging from technical analyses and data collection to regulatory and business-driven requirements for best practices in energy and water efficiency. This position will work collaboratively with internal and external partners to progress initiatives that re-shape our business's energy and water solutions, including how these resources interact with each other and with infrastructure design and operating decisions. You have effective analytical, organizational and leadership skillsets with experience delivering high-quality on-time work. This position involves direct contact with experienced engineering, operations, and sustainability peers, senior leaders, regulators and business partners. A successful candidate will have knowledge of the data center sector, energy management systems and efficiency best practices, experience delivering technical analysis and solutions, and a general passion for energy and water efficiency. Effective stakeholder communication, and ability to work independently and influence others are key for success in role.
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 global diverse team of engineers and specialists across energy and water, software engineering, product/program management, business & analytics, and sustainability. You'll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety, security and sustainability while delivering 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. You may travel up to 25% of your time to deliver in this role.
