Network Deployment Planning Manager, Global Network Delivery (GND), AWS DCC
AWS Infrastructure Services designs, plans, and delivers all AWS global infrastructure.
The Global Network Delivery (GND) team within Infrastructure Services is responsible for delivering network capacity across new and existing data centre builds globally.
GND sits at the intersection of infrastructure engineering, capacity planning, and physical build execution; translating demand signals into commissioned network capacity that AWS customers and services depend on.
Key Responsibilities
Portfolio OwnershipYou own a regional portfolio of Room builds and data center expansion projects across multiple APAC clusters spanning several countries.
You manage the full planning lifecycle from project intake through to delivery and are accountable for the on‐time performance of every active build in your portfolio.
You identify risks early, quantify their impact, and bring a mitigation plan before anyone asks.
People LeadershipYou lead a team of network deployment planners.
You assign projects, manage backlogs, set clear priorities, and hold your team accountable to milestones.
You develop your planners through regular coaching, stretch assignments, and direct feedback, treating the growth of your team as a core deliverable of the role.
Handover QualityYou own the accuracy and completeness of planning artefacts at handover into Deploy.
You treat Deploy friction as a signal to improve upstream planning and take accountability for resolving it at the source.
A clean handover is a non‐negotiable standard.
Partner RelationshipsYou build and maintain strong working relationships with internal partner teams including Build Managers, Technical Program Managers, Network Engineering, Capacity Planning, and Data Centre Operations.
You anticipate their needs and work proactively to align dependence before they become blockers.




Business Reviews and MetricsYou own the Room build delivery review cadence for your region.
You track milestone completion rates, documentation accuracy, and project health; identify trends, escape early, and implement fixes that prevent recurrence.
Your reviews are forward‐looking; you bring insight, not just status.
Metrics Identification and DevelopmentYou identify what needs to be measured, define the methodology, and build the reporting mechanism.
You distinguish between metrics that reflect activity and metrics that reflect outcomes, and prioritize the latter.
Process and ToolingYou identify recurring planning blockers across your portfolio and build mechanisms to address root causes.
You drive adoption of planning tools and standards across your team and contribute to improvements that extend beyond your portfolio.
Cross‐Regional CollaborationYou collaborate with GND Planning counterparts in EMEA and AMER.
You contribute to and adopt global planning standards, share best practices across regions, and represent APAC's delivery context in cross‐regional forums.
About the Team
GND APAC operates at significant and growing scale.
The volume of active Room builds, the density of concurrent dependencies, and the pace of new region expansion mean that planning decisions made today have direct consequences on network capacity availability weeks and months later.
The planning function is the critical interface between network engineering, capacity planning, build execution, and the Deploy team, and getting this right determines whether AWS delivers network capacity on time.
