Principal, TIPM, DC Infra Capacity Delivery

Principal, TIPM, DC Infra Capacity Delivery Job ID: 10562452 | Amazon Data Services, Inc.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is seeking a Rhythm of Business Strategic Lead to join the Data Center Communities (DCC) organization. This role is the strategic connective tissue between DCC leadership and the operating mechanisms that drive decisions — goals, operating plans, business reviews, and the broader rhythm of business. You will own the narrative: translating operational complexity into clear, defensible plans and reviews that land with executive audiences. In this role, you will shape the strategy, not just document it. You will work directly with DCC's senior leadership team to define what we commit to, how we measure progress, and how we communicate both to the broader AWS Infrastructure Services (AIS) organization.

Key job responsibilities Operational Planning

Own end-to-end OP document development for the organization, from data collection and stakeholder alignment through final narrative for executive review

Partner with Finance to ensure headcount trajectories, productivity assumptions, and cost models are aligned and defensible

Manage the OP cycle timeline, stakeholder reviews, and iteration process

Goals

Own DCC's annual goal-setting process — working with VP and directors to define goals that are measurable, aligned to AIS priorities, and appropriately scoped

Track goal progress through the year, flag risks early, and drive mid-year recalibration where needed

Ensure goals cascade logically from s-team priorities through org-level commitments to function-level deliverables

Business Reviews

Support business review content development, structure, and narrative for the organization

Partner with function leaders to surface the right topics — not just status updates, but the strategic questions that need leadership attention

Drive pre-reads, prep sessions, and follow-up action tracking

Ensure business review insights feed back into OP planning and goal recalibration

Strategic Rhythm of Business

Design and maintain the overall cadence of planning, review, and decision-making mechanisms for the organization

Identify gaps in how the org makes decisions and propose mechanisms to close them

Serve as the institutional memory for commitments, decisions, and rationale across planning cycles

Build relationships across functions (Engineering, Supply Chain, Finance, HR, business operation teams) to ensure our organization's mechanisms are calibrated

Basic Qualifications

Experience delivering against a large organization's long-term strategy and goals

Experience in building financial and operational reports/data sets that inform business decision-making, or experience communicating complex information and solutions to senior stakeholders and influencing decisions

Experience establishing credibility quickly with senior level executives across organizations

- 10+ years of experience in business operations, strategy, program management, or chief of staff roles in a large-scale operations or infrastructure organization
