Description

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we're the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we're looking for talented people who want to help.

You'll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You'll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you'll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.

AWS's Data Center Operations Physical Security team is looking for a forward-thinking, results-oriented, innovative and inspirational leader with proven results building high performing teams. The Regional Security Manager will have the ability to develop strategy, execute and lead data center (DC) security operations across multiple sites.

As a Regional Security Manager, you will be expected to implement and verify compliance with security procedures, standards, and policies; while optimizing the effectiveness and efficiency of physical security at our facilities. You will champion new initiatives for the physical security team and oversee implementation in coordination with multiple business partner teams.

The Regional Security Manager will have experience leading cross-functional teams, writing security strategies, driving processes to achieve industry-leading security and driving down costs through process improvement and technology enhancement. You will be expected to operate with autonomy, complete discretion, and your work will require significant creativity and judgment. The ideal candidate will be confident, decisive, influential and an innovative leader who can communicate a compelling and comprehensive set of outcomes to be achieved. You will have the presence and influence to define and enforce high standards for programs you lead, implement and monitor at all levels. You must be comfortable with ambiguity, and be able to define structure, processes, and standards where none yet exist. Furthermore, you will deliver on the physical security mission and tenets; mitigating risk and balancing tradeoffs in cost, efficiency and operational challenges.
