Data Centre Security Manager, AWS

Description

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 Centre's 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.

Are you an experienced security professional who knows what good looks like and wants to lead projects that raise the bar? This role puts your operational expertise and project leadership to work at scale.

We are looking for a Data Centre Security Manager (DCSM) to join our team and oversee security excellence. The DCSM is responsible for the physical security of each site in the Cluster, providing on-site direction, consistency, and guidance to Security Officers and on-site customers to ensure proper execution and enforcement of security policies and procedures.

You will partner with stakeholders to review security related documentation and help them understand how physical security standards and policies apply to their real-world environment.

This role requires a professional who can draw on operational knowledge to lead projects, identify security gaps, develop practical and effective documentation, and drive solutions that continuously raise our security bar.

You will drive consistency, compliance, and operational excellence through best-practice standards and security system evaluation.

• Develop and review new technology and security measures, enhancing the security posture of our sites.
• Lead projects that raise the security bar or address identified security risks - from technology gaps to operational shortfalls.
• Apply your security operations expertise to create policies and standards and process documentation across multiple high-security sites.
• Identify where current equipment or processes are not fit for purpose and lead initiatives to evaluate and implement new technology or solutions.
• Ensure documentation reflects best practice grounded in real on-site operations - not just theory.
• Build governance frameworks that keep security documentation current, approved, and aligned with global updates whilst remaining practical for on-site operations.
• Continuously raise the security bar by identifying gaps, inefficiencies, emerging risks, and opportunities for development through the documentation and projects you own.
• Be the authority on documentation standards within a growing infrastructure security organisation - combining operational credibility with process discipline.

If you have the security background to know what works in practice, the leadership skills to drive cross-functional projects, and the rigour to turn it all into scalable, consistent standards, we want to hear from you.

AWS values diverse experiences. Even if you do not meet all of the preferred qualifications and skills listed in the job description, we encourage candidates to apply. If your career is just starting, hasn't followed a traditional path, or includes alternative experiences, don't let it stop you from applying.
