The successful candidate will combine strong FinOps and cost analytics capabilities with the ability to translate complex technical and financial information into clear business insights, recommendations, and actions.

Key Responsibilities

• Experience establishing and enforcing tagging, metadata, attribution, and cost-accountability standards across engineering or technical teams.

• Experience validating vendor invoices, usage, and rates against contractual terms.

• Strong data analysis capabilities using Excel plus at least one of SQL, Power BI, Tableau, or Python.

• Ability to clearly communicate technical cost drivers, financial impacts, variances, and recommended actions to senior leaders and non-technical stakeholders.
