Manager EMEA North, Infrastructure Energy Team

Description

The Manager, Infrastructure Energy, EMEA North is responsible for powering AWS's data centres across northern and central Europe through the full lifecycle of power — setting the strategy, originating and securing capacity, delivering grid connections, and managing compliance with national grid codes and regulations. This senior role requires deep commercial and technical energy expertise, strong people management capability, and the ability to influence outcomes across internal teams, utilities, partners, and regulatory authorities in a fast-paced environment.

Operating at both strategic and executional levels, the role leads a team of 6–8 professionals who support new site/region selection, manage utility relationships, and drive policy reform advocacy to unlock capacity and remove barriers to power delivery across the region.

Infrastructure Services (AIS)
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.
