Familiarity with enterprise FinOps operating models, governance structures, and tooling ecosystems is required. Certification as a FinOps Practitioner or equivalent professional experience is preferred.
Responsibilities
Lead the identification, prioritization, and oversight of cloud cost optimization opportunities across enterprise cloud services.

Partner with engineering and platform teams on integrations, enhancements, and automation initiatives while ensuring accuracy and compliance. Provide data-driven insights to stakeholders to facilitate informed decision-making, financial accountability, and optimization adoption.
