Senior Global Portfolio Manager, Amazon Leo Ground Infrastructure

We are building and operating Ground Terminal sites worldwide to support Amazon’s Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellation. The Portfolio Management team owns the lease and fiber agreement lifecycle across this rapidly scaling global footprint.

About the role

We are looking for a senior portfolio manager who will lead lease administration strategy, drive AI-enabled automation, resolve high-priority escalations, and build scalable processes for a portfolio that is growing faster than traditional real estate programs.

Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.

Responsibilities

• Triage escalations—unblock landlord disputes or payment discrepancies the team cannot resolve independently
• Audit lease data integrity, approve abstracted records, and review critical-date dashboards to protect against missed deadlines
• Partner with real estate, fiber acquisition, and construction leads to align lease timelines with site builds
• Refine AI-enabled workflows that eliminate manual processing across the portfolio
• Update standard operating procedures, review KPI trends, and ensure processes scale with LEO’s accelerating global expansion

Requirements

• 5–7 years in lease administration, contract management, vendor management, or program management
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent professional experience
• Experience with commercial lease administration software
• Familiarity with current lease accounting standards
• Demonstrated ability to drive outcomes across multiple teams and senior stakeholders
• Strong analytical skills with ability to resolve ambiguous, high-impact problems

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience managing large-scale, geographically distributed portfolios (50+ assets across multiple countries)
• Knowledge of commercial real estate leasing, fiber optic agreements, or telecommunications infrastructure
• Experience building and deploying automation or AI tools to streamline operational workflows
• Master’s degree or MBA in business, operations, human resources, adult education, organizational development, instructional design, or related field
• Experience in commercial real estate or lease administration within an industrial, commercial, and/or data center environment
• Experience with accounting concepts and tax regulations, laws, and standards
• Experience working across functional teams and senior stakeholders
• Experience handling ambiguous or undefined challenges through strong problem-solving abilities

About the team

The Operations Portfolio & Programs (O2P) team within Amazon’s LEO Ground Infrastructure organization is building a portfolio management function from scratch—designed for speed, scale, and AI-driven automation.

You’ll work alongside engineers building satellite terminals, construction teams in remote locations worldwide, and operations leaders running critical infrastructure 24/7. Your decisions directly impact how quickly Amazon delivers satellite connectivity to communities around the world.
