DESCRIPTION

Do you want to help build and optimize one of the most strategic organizations at AWS?
Are you excited to help field teams overcome complex challenges and make transformational impact to businesses?
The Field Technical Operations (FTO) team is looking for a leader to scale the Strategic Initiatives and Programs function– owning the definition, build, launch and optimization of the mechanisms that are needed to drive the Technical Organization business by leading the organization’s most strategic programs and initiatives. You will work closely with senior regional and world-wide leadership to support the strategic evolution of the function, including programmatically executing the Technical Organization’s annual goals, and business reviews and inspection mechanisms. You will also be responsible for coordinating and planning activities, initiatives and mechanisms that help the Tech Org scale globally through frameworks, playbooks, go-to-market strategies. This role will also help the leader of the Tech Org’s business governance function in measuring business performance based on pre-determined metrics and key process indicators (KPIs) to ensure we have a closed loop process for annual planning and continue goal planning and execution.
You will own annual goal planning and periodic business reviews, all goal reporting/dashboards and you will help dive efficiencies while accelerating mechanism adoption and continuous improvement. Partnering with the cross-functional stakeholders and leaders, you will define, plan and execute strategic priorities, identify metrics to measure the performance of the organization and drive predicable cadences and mechanisms – for operations, strategic planning and delivery, goals setting and business reviews.
You will focus on proactively searching for ways to reduce operational overhead by building, evolving and inspecting mechanisms that help govern overall business performance against goals and reduce the cost of sales while continually improving the quality of our service delivery.
