Job 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 — and we’re looking for talented people who want to help.
You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for environmental 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.
Amazon is looking for a talented and self-motivated Environmental Management System (EMS) Program Manager to support AWS AMER region. The successful candidate will join the AWS Environmental team, an expanding and dynamic team that is critical to enabling AWS's growth around the world, as well as ensuring regulatory compliance and highest level environmental performance of AWS's data center global operations. The Environmental team has responsibility for building and implementing AWS's global environmental programs aligned to ISO 14001 EMS. This role requires a highly skilled professional to manage complex, ambiguous initiatives across organizational boundaries.
The ideal candidate must lead regional projects and support global initiatives, influence stakeholders, and work independently while seeking guidance when needed. Strong strategic and tactical skills are essential, including balancing short and long-term needs, mitigating risks, and delivering simplified solutions. Excellent communication skills are crucial, with the ability to present to senior leadership and write strategic narratives. The role involves mentoring, recruitment, and process improvement. Cross-functional collaboration and consensus-building are key. A commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion is vital, focusing on challenging the status quo and creating inclusive products. The successful candidate will significantly impact long-term organizational goals and model best practices in their domain, driving change and innovation across the organization.
Key job responsibilities
1. Leadership and commitment. Ensure the ISO14001 aligned EMS evolves to meet changing organizational needs, stakeholder expectations, and environmental challenges, and securing necessary resources and support for continuous EMS improvement.
2. Risk management and planning. Lead the ongoing identification and assessment of environmental aspects and impacts across AWS AMER. Develop and implement strategic plans to address significant environmental risks and opportunities, setting ambitious yet achievable environmental objectives and targets.
3. Implementation and operation. Oversee the design and deployment of environmental programs and operational controls to enhance environmental performance. Ensure compliance with legal and other requirements, and lead environmental training and awareness programs to embed sustainability practices throughout the organization.
4. Performance evaluation. Establish and manage a robust system for monitoring, measuring, and reporting environmental performance. Conduct regular internal audits of the EMS and regulatory compliance and analyze data to identify trends, gaps, and areas for improvement. Present performance reports and recommendations to top management.
5. Continual improvement. Drive the ongoing enhancement of the EMS by leading management reviews, implementing corrective actions, and identifying innovative approaches to improve environmental performance.
