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.
The Power & Cooling (PAC) team is seeking a senior leader to build and run the Post-Delivery organization — one of the three pillars of PAC Supply Chain Operations — accountable for getting every piece of Long Lead Equipment (LLE) from delivery through successful, on-time Power Facilities Hand Off (PFHO) at the scale AWS now builds. This is a broad, high-visibility leadership role: you will stand up a brand-new organization, lead leaders, set multi-year strategy, and own the outcome that gates every data center going live. The successful candidate is an experienced people leader who can operate at the strategic level with executives and across functions, while building the team, the mechanisms, and the culture that make on-time PFHO repeatable.
As the leader of the Power and Cooling Post-Delivery organization, you will build and manage a team across multiple areas — across Inventory and Logistics, Field Service and Commissioning Support, the Critical Spare Parts program, and post-delivery Global Supply Managers (GSMs) — responsible for commissioning readiness and issue resolution across global operation. This organization owns the end-to-end (E2E) lifecycle of every piece of equipment from delivery through PFHO. Your primary responsibility is to drive successful, on-time PFHO on a global scale and to develop the leaders and the organization that deliver it — hiring and growing, setting a single strategy and quantifiable goals, and representing Post-Delivery to senior leadership and to partner organizations across Construction, Technical Infrastructure Program Managers (TIPMs), Design, Category Management, and suppliers.
This is a transformational, build-it mandate rather than a steady-state operations job. Today post-delivery work is scattered across functions as a part-time responsibility; you will consolidate it into one accountable organization, set its operating model, and raise its performance as AWS scales — exercising the judgment to decide where to invest, what to escalate, and how to influence the functions upstream and downstream of you.
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 projects through completion.
Key job responsibilities
- Lead and build the organization — Hire, develop, and lead a team. Set direction and quantifiable goals, build the bench and succession for a largely new team, and establish a single, teachable standard of execution in place of individual improvisation. Developing leaders and growing the organization is the central, not peripheral, part of this role.
- Own on-time PFHO as a single-threaded leader — Carry end-to-end accountability for commissioning outcomes from delivery through PFHO, and be the senior escalation point and first line of defense for post-delivery construction and commissioning issues across the global build.
- Set the strategy — Own a multi-year Post-Delivery strategy anchored on a Site Equipment commissioning-readiness framework, deciding where to concentrate commissioning enablers (Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) support and retainers, equipment and inventory redundancy, third-party field service, critical spare parts, and selective direct hires) against site and equipment criticality, and refreshing that strategy as the build evolves.
- Represent Post-Delivery to senior leadership — Communicate strategy, risk, and trade-offs concisely to executives; secure investment and air cover for cross-organizational moves; and influence partner organizations across Construction, TIPMs, Design, Category Management, and suppliers through authority and credibility rather than direct control.
- Run the operating mechanisms — Install the operating rhythm, metrics, and risk-management mechanisms that make on-time PFHO repeatable: forward-looking readiness over point-of-failure firefighting, a dynamic risk register across sites and suppliers, and feedback loops that drive recurring problems to their source.
- Scale what works and return capacity to partners — Scale proven commissioning programs (a supplier-managed Critical Spare Parts crash-cart, a Commissioning Success Scorecard, and Field Service Resource heatmaps) across the full supply base, and consolidate commissioning-phase ownership so Delivery GSMs regain the capacity for the sourcing and negotiation work only they can do.
- Success in this role directly impacts AWS’s ability to deliver data centers on schedule, measured by on-time PFHO, the health and growth of the organization you build, and the maturity of the mechanisms that sustain performance as the business scales.
A day in the life
- Set direction for your leaders, coach team.
- Communicate ideas concisely to a wide variety of stakeholders, for purposes ranging from informative to securing investment and approvals from executives.
- Embody a true pioneering spirit, willing to “get your hands dirty” in a start-up environment while simultaneously developing the strategy, processes, automation, and people that deliver results.
- Weigh competing priorities across many sites and suppliers, exercising high judgment on where to invest, what to escalate, and how to influence partners upstream and downstream.
- Develop and train leaders and teams to improve skills and capabilities for sustainable and continuous improvement.

Search Customer Program Manager Jobs in WashingtonCustomer Program Manager Jobs in Washington: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies sponsor visas for customer program managers in Washington?
Microsoft, Amazon, Salesforce, Google, and T-Mobile are among the Washington employers with documented H-1B visa sponsorship histories for program management roles. Smaller enterprise SaaS companies headquartered in Seattle and Bellevue also regularly sponsor customer-facing program managers, particularly those managing strategic accounts or post-sales implementation. Sponsorship patterns vary by company size and hiring volume in any given year.
Which visa types are most common for customer program manager roles in Washington?
The H-1B is the most common visa category for customer program managers in Washington, as the role typically requires a bachelor's degree in business, communications, or a related field, meeting the specialty occupation standard. Candidates already authorized under OPT or STEM OPT through universities like the University of Washington are often sponsored into H-1B status by their Washington employer. L-1B transfers are also used when multinational companies move program managers from overseas offices.
Which cities in Washington have the most customer program manager sponsorship jobs?
Seattle accounts for the largest share of customer program manager sponsorship opportunities in Washington, followed closely by Bellevue and Redmond, which are home to Microsoft's headquarters and a dense network of enterprise technology firms. Kirkland and Issaquah have smaller but active hiring markets tied to tech campuses. Outside the Puget Sound metro, Spokane has limited but growing demand, primarily through regional enterprise software and healthcare technology employers.
How to find customer program manager visa sponsorship jobs in Washington?
Migrate Mate lets you filter customer program manager roles specifically by visa sponsorship availability and state, making it straightforward to identify Washington employers actively hiring international candidates. Because sponsorship intent isn't always listed on general job postings, using a dedicated platform like Migrate Mate saves time and focuses your search on companies that have confirmed willingness to sponsor. Filtering by the Seattle and Bellevue metro areas within Migrate Mate will surface the highest concentration of relevant openings.
Are there state-specific factors that affect visa sponsorship for customer program managers in Washington?
Washington's concentration of large technology employers means the H-1B prevailing wage determinations for program management roles reflect a competitive local market, which can make sponsorship more straightforward for employers already structured to pay at or above market rates. The University of Washington and Washington State University produce a significant pipeline of OPT-eligible graduates who transition into customer program manager roles at regional tech firms. Washington has no state income tax, which is a logistical consideration employers sometimes highlight when structuring compensation for sponsored employees.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored customer program manager jobs in Washington?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
