About the Role:

We are hiring a FinOps Engineer to bridge our central FinOps team with business units, engineering, and finance.

• Manage Azure RI and RI/SP purchases end-to-end across clouds. 
• Provide commercial advisory for reseller agreements and procurement decisions. 
• Build and maintain FinOps dashboards, KPIs, and custom automations. 
• Own budget management, cost allocation, and forecasting for assigned business units. 
• Lead FinOps reviews with engineering, product, and finance stakeholders. 
• Advise on new project designs to embed cost-efficiency from day one. 
• Deliver FinOps education sessions to elevate cloud cost-awareness across the org. 

• 4 years in FinOps, Cloud Cost Management, or a related role. 
• Hands-on experience with at least two major clouds (AWS, Azure, GCP) — pricing, billing, and commitment models. 
• Proven experience managing RI / Savings Plans end-to-end. 
• Strong analytical skills — Excel, SQL, and large-dataset analysis. 
• Experience with FinOps tools (Cost Explorer, Umbrella, Azure Cost Management or similar). 
• Solid financial acumen — budgets, forecasts, variance analysis, allocation. 
• Excellent communication and stakeholder-management skills. 

Advantages:

• FinOps Foundation certification (FOCP / FOCE). 
• Cloud certifications (AWS / Azure / GCP). 
• Scripting skills (Python, PowerShell, Bash) for automation. 
• Experience with BI tools (Power BI, Tableau, Looker, QuickSight). 
• Experience with AWS MAP or other cloud migration programs.
