Additional Information
Amazon is looking for a Systems Program Manager to manage configuration, act as an SME on system capabilities, and serve as a primary point of contact for a third party cloud-based construction management software.
The Systems Program Manager will need to be detailed, flexible and take strong ownership of a global user base, including system functionality and process implementation.

This role will sit within global construction; however, they will be part of a larger organization that is diverse, positive, exceptionally talented, driven and responsible for the design, construction and operation of industry leading data center facilities. They will need to excel at managing multiple priorities and learning the pain points of their primary users, being able to execute system implementation effectively across subject matter experts with a broad range of disciplines and/or cultural or regional differences.

This includes establishing system mechanisms that enable teams to consistently deliver against defined standards, globally; managing system standards and enhancements for global internal and external users; auditing the team's metrics to identify and address trends or issues; and supporting the introduction of new technology that enables greater efficiencies within the construction management life cycle.
