Project ManagementFull-time

About the role

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. We support all AWS data centers and the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. As the Senior S&OP Planner, you will lead the AIS Demand & S&OP team within the CDSA (Capacity Delivery, Supportability & Analytics) organization. You will own the 0-2 year server-material Demand Plan of Record (POR) and transition plan for assigned server platforms, ensuring demand, supply, and financial plans remain aligned. Your work will build automation and mechanisms to help AWS scale its GenAI and Core infrastructure faster, cheaper, and more sustainably.

Responsibilities

  • Build the global S&OP cycle – Drive an end-to-end, monthly/quarterly cadence that aligns AWS demand signals with supply, power, and capital plans.
  • Deliver a trusted demand signal – Produce a single source of truth reconciling financial plans, sales & growth outlooks, NPI roadmaps, transition ramps, and prior POR commitments.
  • Run executive planning forums – Frame one-way vs. two-way-door decisions, articulate trade-offs, and secure leadership alignment across AIS, EC2, S3, EBS, Finance, and Energy.
  • Architect planning systems – Guide software teams in automating demand-, supply-, and scenario-planning workflows (e.g., Connect, o9, Infor, Manhattan); own interim manual mechanisms until automation is in place.
  • Build decision frameworks – Develop constrained-planning models that surface risks and levers under power, permitting, or component shortages.
  • Measure what matters – Define KPIs and dashboards quantifying forecast accuracy, inventory turns, build-plan adherence, and capacity-delivery cycle time.
  • Champion continuous improvement – Sponsor digital-transformation sprints that simplify processes, eliminate waste, and raise planning maturity across AIS.

Requirements

  • 3+ years of technical infrastructure management experience.
  • Knowledge of best practices and emerging technologies related to infrastructure (e.g., network, data center, hardware, software).
  • Exceptional judgment, a builder’s mindset, and the ability to influence at all levels—from front-line planners to VP- and SVP-level business owners.

Preferred Qualifications

  • 5+ years of project management disciplines including scope, schedule, budget, quality, risk, and critical path management.
