Power Settlements Manager, AWS Energy Procurement Operations
Posted Updated
Description
Are you passionate about energy? Do you want to be part of a growing energy team working on exciting projects across the world that will have a lasting impact on AWS?
Amazon is seeking a results-oriented individual contributor Power Settlements Manager to lead and scale our global energy settlement operations across our renewable and data center energy portfolio. In this role, you will establish, audit, and continuously improve settlement processes and controls to ensure accurate validation of transactions (e.g. renewable project invoices, utility bills etc.) in a diverse and large energy portfolio. You will be the accountable owner of settlement validation activities — interpreting and translating complex contractual and tariff language, executing validation processes, driving dispute resolution, ensuring timely payments, and managing compliance controls across a large and growing volume of transactions. The ideal candidate is a builder and a doer who brings deep experience in PPA settlement structures, utility billing frameworks across diverse regulatory environments, ISO/RTO and non-market energy settlement, and global market exposure across APAC, EMEA, and AMER.
As a senior member of the team, you will train, mentor, and exercise oversight over junior team members while owning the most complex settlements in the portfolio. You will think strategically and tactically to identify simplification opportunities, close control gaps, and build robust processes, business intelligence, and reporting capabilities. We are looking for a strong program builder; someone who is a culture carrier who can hold the team accountable; and someone that has a proven track record of standing up settlement operations from the ground up.
Key job responsibilities
- Lead power settlement for our portfolio of renewable and utility agreements, including invoice and bill validation, reconciliations, dispute resolution, payments, and compliance controls.
- Establish, audit, and continuously improve settlement processes and controls to ensure accurate, compliant, and scalable settlement validation practices.
- Interpret and translate contractual and tariff language, matching them with energy market understanding to execute settlement processes.
- Train, mentor, and exercise oversight over junior team members' work as the accountable owner of settlement validation activities
- Support end-of-month financial close and controllership reporting, including performance analysis and business impact assessments across business units and customers
- Partner with tech and product teams to advance settlement automation capabilities and drive further scale across Amazon's energy portfolio
- Plan and execute operational improvement initiatives, continuously identifying simplification opportunities and closing control gaps
- Manage settlement-related contractual obligations with counterparties and work collaboratively across Amazon teams to support broader energy financial controllership
About the team
The Energy Procurement Operations (EPO) team manages renewable and energy supply contracts post execution, provides controllership and governance of energy spend, tracks environmental attributes and ensures our energy supply portfolio is compliant with external regulations, contract obligations as well as internal policies. You will be a part of the team responsible for managing the world’s largest portfolio of corporate renewable contracts.
EPO sits within AWS Infrastructure Services, which 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.
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 them to completion.
Why AWS
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform. We pioneered cloud computing and never stopped innovating — that’s why customers from the most successful startups to Global 500 companies trust our robust suite of products and services to power their businesses.
Diverse Experiences
Amazon values diverse experiences. Even if you do not meet all of the preferred qualifications and skills listed in the job description, we encourage candidates to apply. If your career is just starting, hasn’t followed a traditional path, or includes alternative experiences, don’t let it stop you from applying.
Work/Life Balance
We value work-life harmony. Achieving success at work should never come at the expense of sacrifices at home, which is why we strive for flexibility as part of our working culture. When we feel supported in the workplace and at home, there’s nothing we can’t achieve in the cloud.
Inclusive Team Culture
Here at AWS, it’s in our nature to learn and be curious. Our employee-led affinity groups foster a culture of inclusion that empower us to be proud of our differences. Ongoing events and learning experiences, inspire us to never stop embracing our uniqueness.
Mentorship and Career Growth
We’re continuously raising our performance bar as we strive to become Earth’s Best Employer. That’s why you’ll find endless knowledge-sharing, mentorship and other career-advancing resources here to help you develop into a better-rounded professional.
