Manager, Cloud FinOps (IGT 1)
- Build the Foundation: Design and implement a global tagging strategy, cost allocation hierarchy, and governance framework to ensure 100% of cloud spend is accountable.
- Drive Optimization Strategy: Proactively identify opportunities for savings (Rightsizing, Spot, Graviton adoption, Storage Lifecycle) and collaborate with Engineering leadership to prioritize these into the technical roadmap.
- Financial Stewardship: Manage the full lifecycle of commitment-based discounts (Savings Plans, RIs) and enterprise agreements to maximize coverage and minimize effective rates.
- Data & Visibility: Own the "Source of Truth" for cloud cost. Build automated dashboards that provide near real-time feedback loops to engineering teams.
- Culture & Enablement: Shift the culture left. Create runbooks, host "FinOps Roadshows," and gamify cost optimization to make efficiency a core part of the engineering DNA.
- Anomaly Detection: Operationalize automated alerts for cost spikes; lead "blameless post-mortems" on billing anomalies to prevent recurrence.
Qualifications
Minimum Qualifications
- 4+ years in Cloud Financial Management (FinOps), Cloud Operations, or Technical Program Management with a heavy focus on AWS.
- Deep AWS Fluency: You understand the difference between an unattached volume and a snapshot, how Spot instances work, and can explain data transfer costs to non-technical stakeholders.
- Strong proficiency in SQL and Excel/Google Sheets. You are comfortable querying large datasets (AWS CUR) to find the "needle in the haystack."
- Proven ability to influence engineering teams without direct authority. You can explain why a change matters in language engineers respect.
Preferred Qualifications
- DevOps Literacy: Ability to read and understand Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) to validate tagging strategies and architectural changes (even if you don't write it from scratch).
- Familiarity with Kubernetes (EKS) cost allocation strategies (e.g., Kubecost, namespace labeling).
- Experience implementing or managing third-party FinOps tooling (e.g., CloudHealth, Vantage, ProsperOps).
- FinOps Certified Practitioner (FOCP) or AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner.
