As the Director of EMEA Data Center Delivery, you will manage the teams that:

  1. Lead the development and communication of the comprehensive strategic infrastructure plan for all Amazon clusters in EMEA. This includes analysing market dynamics, customer needs, and growth scenarios to define the optimal blend of colocation and self-built data center capacity.
  2. Execute the strategic business development plan by partnering cross-functionally with key stakeholders (e.g. product teams, construction, engineering, energy procurement, public policy, legal, tax, economic development, etc.) to deliver new data center projects on time and to specification.
  3. Negotiate complex, multi-million-dollar contracts with developers, public authorities, and other partners, balancing the technical requirements of our engineering teams with the broader business objectives.

  6. Effectively manage multiple concurrent, complex data center development projects across the EMEA region, proactively identifying and mitigating risks.

Key job responsibilities

The ideal candidate will possess a unique combination of business acumen, technical expertise, and global infrastructure experience. You should have a proven track record of leading strategic infrastructure initiatives, managing large-scale technology projects, and negotiating high-value contracts. Exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills are essential, as you will be interfacing with both technical and executive-level teams as well as leading a diverse multi-located team of Real Estate, Due Diligence and Colo Performance Management professionals. This is an exciting opportunity to play a strategic role in shaping the future of AWS's global data center infrastructure. If you're a seasoned executive with the vision and execution skills to drive transformative change, we'd love to hear from you.

Minimum Requirements

  1. Bachelor's Degree in Real Estate, Engineering, Business, Mathematics, or equivalent
  2. 15+ years of critical operations or technology experience
  3. 15+ years leading and developing business development, site acquisition, procurement or finance teams
