Program / Project Manager, ACL (AWS Cloud Logistics)

Full Job Description

Program Manager responsible for driving cross-functional program delivery across EMEA infrastructure supply chain operations. Owns coordination and execution of complex, multi-workstream programs spanning logistics, warehousing, vendor management, and data center fulfillment. Reports to Sr Mgr, EMEA AWS Cloud Logistics.

Key job responsibilities Drive cross-functional coordination across internal teams (logistics operations, procurement, engineering, trade compliance, finance) and external partners (carriers, LSPs, warehouse operators, contractors) to deliver program outcomes on time and within scope.

Build and maintain program plans, dependency maps, risk registers, and milestone trackers that provide clear visibility on status, blockers, and critical path across all active workstreams.

Establish and own program reporting cadences (WBR/MBR/QBR), synthesizing progress across multiple workstreams into executive-level narratives with clear escalation of risks and decisions required. Identify and proactively manage cross-program dependencies, resource conflicts, and sequencing challenges — escalating early and proposing tradeoff options when programs are at risk.

Design and implement program governance frameworks, intake processes, and delivery mechanisms where none exist — creating repeatable, scalable structures that reduce coordination overhead and drive consistent execution.

Partner with technical and systems teams to improve program tooling, reporting automation, and data quality — translating manual tracking into scalable solutions.

Drive continuous improvement across program delivery practices, capturing lessons learned, refining processes, and raising the bar on delivery predictability and stakeholder communication.

Operate with a high degree of independence, prioritizing based on business impact, managing competing demands across the portfolio, and escalating only when executive decision-making is required.

A day in the life Run a cross-functional / regional sync to drive progress on a multi-partner program (e.g., a new warehouse stand-up, a logistics network change, or a capacity expansion initiative), documenting actions and owners.

Dive deep into a program blocker — pulling together the right stakeholders, diagnosing the root cause, and proposing a path to resolution with clear owners and timelines.

Update program plans and risk registers, preparing materials for an upcoming leadership review with a clear narrative on what's on track, what's at risk, and what decisions are needed.

Coordinate with procurement and vendor teams to ensure external partner deliverables are sequenced correctly and SLA commitments are being met. Partner with a technology team to scope an automation opportunity that eliminates a recurring manual coordination bottleneck in the program lifecycle.

Facilitate a retrospective on a recently completed program, capturing what worked, what didn't, and what mechanisms should be adopted for future programs.
