Sr. Tech Program Manager, Data Center Learning

• AWS Data Center Learning is hiring a Senior Technical Program Manager to own and sustain the GDCO 7S Continuous Improvement program — the workplace-organization and operational-excellence mechanism that runs across our global data center fleet. The program has moved through its foundation and design phases and is transitioning to a durable, self-sustaining operating model. This role is the owner who takes it to a scaled, mechanism-driven program that runs globally.
• You will own the operating and planning mechanisms that keep a large, distributed community of Regional POCs, cluster leaders, and site teams aligned — giving leadership a clear line of sight into audit coverage, compliance, and program health. Day-to-day execution is run by the field; you own the structure they run within: the tooling and data backbone, the standards and communications cadence, and the metrics that measure impact.

• Key job responsibilities
• Own the program mechanism. Run the 7S operating rhythm end-to-end — monthly audit cycle, findings, implementation plans, metrics, communications, and leadership reviews — as a documented, repeatable mechanism.
• Own the tooling & data backbone. Serve as the program owner for the audit platform and the compliance reporting pipeline; ensure audits, scoring, and dashboards operate reliably and that 7S compliance is surfaced in the WBR/leadership dashboards.
• Drive standards & single source of truth. Maintain the 7S standards (“What Good Looks Like”), playbooks, and runbooks in Policy 2.0 / Playbook 2.0, and own the 7S wiki as the single source of truth
• Measure and prove impact. Define and report the metrics that demonstrate program value and sustainability (audit activity and completion rates, compliance, month-over-month trends) and move the program toward outcome-based measurement.
• Scale enablement. Own self-serve enablement — tooling instruction guides and training requirements so new POCs can onboard.
• Govern & de-risk. Maintain a light governance and escalation model, manage program risks, reduce duplication with adjacent mechanisms (e.g., GEMBA walks), and keep the program auditable and compliant.
• Influence without authority. Earn trust and drive adoption across DCO, Infrastructure Delivery, DCEO, Safety, and Security.
