Technical Infrastructure Program Manager, Global Connectivity Infrastructure Development Fiber Deployment

Application deadline: Sep 29 2026

Bringing a new AWS data center online starts with fiber in the this role you own that work across high-volume US metro markets taking a metro fiber route from approved plan to live capacity and managing the construction vendors who build it.

You will run several builds at once hold vendors to schedule and quality inspect sites to confirm the work was done right and keep a wide group of stakeholders current on where each project stands. If you have built fiber before you will move fast here. If you have run complex physical infrastructure or construction programs in another field you can succeed here too: the hard part of this job is owning an ambiguous program end to end and driving it to delivery and we will teach you the fiber.

Key job responsibilities
- Own end-to-end delivery of metro fiber construction projects from approved plan through in-service handover
- Manage construction vendors to schedule and quality: track milestones measure performance and drive corrective action when standards are not met
- Run quality control across the build: inspect conduit and vault installation validate designs in the field and review splice and fiber acceptance test results and as-built accuracy before handoff to internal customers
- Deliver weekly status reporting to leadership and internal customers and manage risk escalations and competing priorities across multiple concurrent builds
- Coordinate site access and approvals in security-regulated environments and travel to field sites up to 50% of the time

A day in the life
Most days your focus is knowing the true status of every build you own and moving each one forward. You will scan vendor progress and open risks make the calls that unblock a permit or a crew and update the trackers your stakeholders rely on. You work day to day with construction vendors and general contractors fiber engineers data center and networking teams and permitting authorities. Some weeks you will be on a site confirming the build matches the design and the test results hold up. Beyond the steady work of delivery you will also help improve the standards and processes the team runs on. This is a field-facing role rather than a remote one and you will spend real time on site.
