About The Position

Energy Portfolio Operations (EPO) manages AWS’ portfolio of energy contracts
(carbon free, renewables, DC supply), oversees its performance, ensures
compliance with wholesale market regulations, manages and optimizes energy
certificates, and more.

Our team is looking for an experienced energy supply professional with a track
record in managing energy supply and power purchase contracts, overseeing
relationships with counterparties (IPPs, utilities) and bringing commercial
issues to resolution. This role will partner with a global team (US, EMEA, APJC)
and will work collaboratively with stakeholders across the AWS Infrastructure
Services org to manage, report, analyze and influence our energy strategies,
contracts and frameworks. The right candidate is commercially savvy, experienced
in designing or deploying programs, has an analytical skill set, and experience
negotiating and managing energy supply contracts and power purchase agreements.

Each day you will interact with different teams responsible for all aspects of
the data centers. You will prioritize your activities to support data center
capacity delivery, availability and safety focusing on the actions that are most
impactful. You will have the opportunity to work on projects locally and
globally.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted
cloud platform. We pioneered cloud computing and never stopped innovating —
that’s why customers from the most successful startups to Global 500 companies
trust our robust suite of products and services to power their businesses.

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.
There’s nothing we can’t achieve in the cloud.
