Key job responsibilities: You will independently manage complex, cross-functional industrial projects from site selection through design completion, permitting, and contract execution, coordinating with design teams and project stakeholders to contribute to team performance. You will keep the scope under control and accelerate progress by driving timely decisions, identifying and clearing blockers, and escalating appropriately. You will work with internal/external teams, driving results through communication, weighing risks, and making decisions. You will oversee professional service providers ensuring their skills meet the needs required for entitling property and projects. You will perform pricing reviews for scope inclusions/exclusions and negotiate costs with developers, general contractors, and design consultants. You will estimate costs, manage Due Diligences, and forecast schedules, while identifying factors that may impede a successful project hand-over. You will supervise the implementation of Amazon’s safety programs and standards. You will drive accountability for results and insist on the highest standards from yourself and others. You will negotiate with contractors, vendors, and suppliers.

You will communicate across departments, serving as an authority on project issues and proposing solutions to gaps in project plans. You will understand and negotiate terms of contracts with developers, contractors, and consultants representing Amazon’s interests. Daily tasks may include site validation, due diligence, risk analysis, design management, contract negotiations, and stakeholder management.
