Responsibilities

  • Cloud Cost Management & Optimization
    • Conduct in-depth cost analysis across clients’ cloud environments (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, etc.), identifying savings opportunities through usage reduction, rightsizing, and discounting.
    • Provide customized, actionable recommendations for improving cloud financial management, presenting these insights in clear, client-facing reports.
    • Track and monitor financial metrics, including spend forecasting, budgeting, and variance analysis, to ensure alignment with customers' financial goals.
    • Support implementation of cost optimization initiatives in partnership with engineering teams.
  • Recurring Client Engagement

    • Educate clients on FinOps principles, empowering them to make informed financial decisions and develop their internal cloud cost management capabilities.
    • Act as a primary FinOps point of contact, proactively addressing client concerns, suggesting solutions, and ensuring customer satisfaction and retention.
  • Reporting, Tooling & Insights
    • Leverage cloud-native and third-party tools (e.g., CoreStack, AWS Cost Explorer, Azure Cost Management) to generate standardized reports and insights.
    • Translate complex cost and usage data into clear narratives for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
    • Track outcomes of recommendations and iterate based on customer feedback and changing usage patterns.
  • Practice Support & Standardization
    • Actively develop, refine, and evolve playbooks, templates, and delivery frameworks for an innovative FinOps practice.
    • Keep up to date with industry FinOps trends, pricing models, and emerging cloud tools to continually refine strategies and deliver innovative solutions to clients.
    • Design and implement frameworks for cost governance, budget adherence, and spend accountability, working with cross-functional teams to ensure cohesive, effective FinOps execution.
  • Internal Collaboration
    • Collaborate closely with internal teams, including Cloud Engineers, Architects, and Account Managers, to ensure a holistic approach to client service and satisfaction.
    • Share FinOps insights, tools, and best practices within the CSP team to enhance the organization’s FinOps capabilities and promote a culture of financial accountability.
  • Growth & Innovation
    • Play a key role in evolving the FinOps offering, including shaping scope, deliverables, and success metrics.
