Riyadh, Ar Riyāḑ, Saudi Arabia Data Services Saudi Arabia Limited Full time

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.

The Head of Data Center Operations for KSA is responsible for one or more Amazon Web Services (AWS) Datacenter Clusters and PoP-scale deployments within an assigned region in mainland Europe. It is the senior Infrastructure Operations role within the region and has managerial responsibility for safety, security, availability, scaling, and efficiency. The Infrastructure Operations organizations are composed of four functions: compute operations, engineering operations, logistics, and security. Compute operations focuses on the server-level platforms that support both Amazon Retail and Amazon Web Services. Engineering Operations focuses the mechanical, electrical, and controls systems that support our datacenter critical environments. Logistics Operations executes materials planning and control to support both on-going operations and expansions. Security Operations is charged with the physical security of our people, assets, and customer data. The Regional Infrastructure Operations Leader must manage across the disparate functions but also have the ability to dive deep into any given function as needed.

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 Regional Infrastructure Operations Manager is a key role in the management team that is operating and scaling the world's largest cloud computing infrastructure. We encounter interesting, challenging and complex problems every day. As a technical manager in Amazon you can innovate to solve these issues and help drive operations excellence in all areas of your role. You will have the ability to refine and develop processes to optimize operational excellence in every aspect of your role. You must also have a passion for technology along with a desire to achieve best-in-the-world operational performance.

Key job responsibilities
  1. Hiring, managing, and developing the operations management team including compute operations managers, engineering operations managers, logistics operations managers, and security operations managers.
  2. Attainment of organizational performance goals and objectives relating to safety, security, availability, scaling, and efficiency.
  3. Planning and executing the Infrastructure Operations component of new AWS datacenter build outs and AWS datacenter expansions, including server hardware install, troubleshooting and repair, security system install, troubleshooting and repair, and related Operations tasks.
  4. Operation and maintenance of mechanical, electrical, and controls systems for Amazon datacenters to include preventive maintenance, corrective maintenance, and change management.
  5. Vendor management of colocation datacenter services providers to meet or exceed contracted performance SLA's.
  6. Safety, security, and availability incident response, incident management, and incident resolution.
  7. Continuous improvement of operational processes, procedures, methods, and tools.

AWS values diverse experiences. Even if you do not meet all of the qualifications and skills listed in the job description, we encourage candidates to apply.
