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.

The APAC Data Center Supply Solutions team is looking for an Expansion Transaction Manager to work with teams across the organization to procure data center capacity, support long term scaling strategies for AWS’s infrastructure regions, and manage a portfolio of critical infrastructure agreements. As a key member of the business development team, the Expansion Transaction Manager will manage all areas of transaction deal flow related to datacenter procurement projects in the region.

A successful candidate will be an exceptional communicator with both vendors and internal customers, have a strong ability to overcome obstacles to deliver the right results, possess a strong sense of ownership, and be highly data driven with a passion for continuous improvement. This position involves direct contact with senior AWS leaders and key vendors; you must have a professional demeanor and be able to communicate effectively with people at every level, both internally and externally. This position will be based in Singapore but will require minor business travel for the support of expansion activities, training, and team planning initiatives.
