Are you excited about partnering with UK Government to drive high-visibility programmes? Are you equally comfortable working with technical and non-technical teams to meet business requirements? If so, the AWS Global Government Delivery Organisation is looking for a Programme Execution Manager with a proven record of delivering results.

This position focuses on the delivery of AWS services to our UK Government customers. This role requires effective cross-functional collaboration across diverse teams to solve complex problems, identify requirements, design processes, and manage timelines for programmes and projects supporting UK Government customers.

The ability to effectively communicate with management and stakeholders across the organisation is key to success.
