• Define and enforce cost allocation & tagging taxonomy across platforms
• Manage rate optimization (AWS Savings Plans / Azure Reserved Instances) including sizing, renewals, and governance
• Identify and automate cleanup of orphaned/idle cloud resources
• Partner with Finance (FP&A) on cloud forecasting and budget variance analysis
• Configure automated anomaly detection and cost spike alerts
• Advise IT leadership on FinOps-driven investment decisions

Requirements:

• 3–5+ years in Cloud Operations, IT Asset Management, or Cloud Financial Management
• Hands-on experience with AWS CUR, Azure Billing APIs, SQL, Python, and Power BI/Tableau
• Deep understanding of AWS (EC2, S3, RDS) and Azure (VMs, SQL DB, Storage) pricing models
• Ability to translate technical cloud architecture into financial business impact for executives
• Strong financial modelling and business case skills

Preferred Certifications:

• FinOps Certified Practitioner (FOCP) or FinOps Certified Engineer
• AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner and/or Microsoft Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900)
