Description
Amazon Web Services provides a highly reliable, scalable, low-cost infrastructure platform in the cloud that powers hundreds of thousands of businesses in 190 countries around the world.
The AWS Cloud infrastructure is built around Regions and Availability Zones (AZs). AWS Regions provide multiple, physically separated and isolated Availability Zones which are connected with low latency, high throughput, and highly redundant networking. These Availability Zones offer AWS customers an easier and more effective way to design and operate applications and databases, making them more highly available, fault tolerant, and scalable than traditional single datacenter infrastructures or multi-datacenter infrastructures.

We are looking for a highly motivated, commercially savvy Network Infrastructure Business and Vendor Developer to help grow and scale one of the world's largest and most complex networks.

This role requires collaboration, driving strategic initiatives and executing commercial deals across our network geography. By applying a unique blend of business and technology experience, you will work closely with both external stakeholders and internal teams to find creative, cost effective, and often innovative solutions to meet Amazon's ongoing growth and expansion needs worldwide.
Key job responsibilities
- Serve as a key member of the EMEA Network Development team, helping to drive overall Network Infrastructure strategy.
- Work closely with service owners to understand product roadmaps and devise programs to meet capacity requirements.
- Develop network infrastructure plans for approval by internal customers and stakeholders.
- Identify vendors and develop commercial solutions that solve for wavelengths, dark fibre and other network infrastructure capacity.
- Negotiate key vendor contracts from a business and technical perspective in partnership with AWS legal teams.
- Track and maintain information on overall telecom market segment trends and developments in terms of vendor technologies, coverage, cost and deal structures
- Work closely with finance partners, collaborating on budget creation, business case development, deal analysis, and supplier invoicing.
- Participate in strategic network topology planning for our global backbone and metro networks.
- Work closely with network planning to ensure that acquisitions meet our topology requirements and budgets.
- Work closely with internal customers to understand product roadmaps and devise programs to meet capacity requirements.
- Anticipate bottlenecks, manage risk and escalations, and balance the business needs versus technical constraints.

You'll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles.
