Amazon's Ops Tech Design Execution Team are looking for an experienced Telecoms Design Program Manager / Telecoms Design SME. You will be responsible for project management of IT infrastructure design and delivery programs for both new and existing Amazon logistics operations buildings of varying sizes.

You will bring deep telecoms infrastructure expertise to every project — acting as a technical authority on structured cabling, wireless, and physical network design — while coordinating design requirements across internal teams and external vendors.

You will influence global best practices by driving collaboration with multi-disciplinary stakeholders to identify opportunities in both design and deployment processes. You will influence, advise on, and develop innovative design practices, processes and products for standard and custom infrastructure programs. You will contribute to the team's QA/QC frameworks, support the adoption of AI-driven tooling and automation, and help establish the dashboards and metrics that give leadership visibility of design quality and throughput.

You will be a team player and be able to deliver results on time and on budget.

You will be comfortable operating in a fast-paced and ambiguous environment, having strong judgment and negotiation skills.

This role will be within the highly creative and efficient ODX team who are focused on telecoms design optimisation and telecoms design vendor management. The ideal candidate will be proficient in the use of Autodesk design tools such as AutoCAD and Revit. You will partner with the ODX internal BIM design team as well as other Amazon teams on BIM (Building Information Modelling) integration and design templatisation. You will be agile and be able to effectively multi-task, working on multiple projects and deliverables simultaneously.

You will have a successful track record in telecoms design delivery as well as innovating for your customers.
