Job Description
Senior FinOps Consultant
Why This Role?
Cloud investment continues to grow, and organisations need expert guidance to maximise value from every pound they spend. As a Senior FinOps Consultant, you'll work directly with customers to identify cost-saving opportunities, optimise public cloud environments and build mature FinOps capabilities that deliver long-term business value. This is a highly visible consulting role combining technical expertise, commercial awareness and customer engagement.
What You'll Be Doing
- Identify, analyse and prioritise cloud cost optimisation opportunities across Azure, AWS and GCP environments.
- Quantify potential savings and business benefits using FinOps methodologies and tooling.
- Implement usage and rate optimisation strategies to reduce cloud expenditure and improve efficiency.
- Design and deliver FinOps maturity roadmaps tailored to customer objectives.
- Lead customer workshops, presentations and enablement sessions for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Produce high-quality customer-facing reports and optimisation recommendations.
- Advise organisations on cloud financial management best practices and governance.
- Collaborate closely with pre-sales, professional services and managed services teams to drive successful customer outcomes.
- Support customers in establishing and scaling FinOps operating models.
- Help organisations build sustainable processes for continuous cloud cost optimisation.
What We're Looking For
Essential
- Proven experience implementing FinOps practices within Azure, AWS and/or GCP environments.
- Strong knowledge of the FinOps Framework, lifecycle, domains and capabilities.
- Hands-on experience with cloud cost management and optimisation tools.
- Ability to analyse complex data sets and identify trends, anomalies and cost-saving opportunities.
- Strong customer-facing consulting and stakeholder management skills.
- Experience presenting to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain cloud economics clearly.
- FinOps Practitioner or FinOps Professional certification.
Desirable
- AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner.
- Microsoft Certified: Azure Fundamentals.
- Experience operating within multi-cloud environments.
- Experience designing FinOps transformation or maturity programmes.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Work directly with customers to influence cloud strategy and spend optimisation.
- Gain exposure to Azure, AWS and GCP across a variety of client environments.
- Deliver measurable financial outcomes and cost savings.
- Lead FinOps maturity and cloud economics initiatives from strategy through to implementation.
- Combine technical, commercial and consulting expertise in a highly sought-after specialism.
- Develop trusted advisor relationships with senior business and technical stakeholders.
