Job description

A career at Loftware is more than just a job – it’s an opportunity to help shape the supply chain of the future.

We are seeking an experienced Cloud Spend Manager (predominantly AWS) to report into the CTO’s organization and take ownership of building and maintaining a comprehensive cloud spend management framework. Following significant cost optimization efforts led by an external consultancy, this role will be responsible for turning those learnings into a sustainable, continuous process that ensures maximum operational efficiency at the lowest possible cloud cost.

The Cloud Spend Manager will drive cost governance, tooling, and metrics across our multi-product SaaS environment, ensuring all teams adhere to best practices for provisioning, tracking, and optimizing cloud resources while maintaining performance and reliability standards.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, establish, and enforce a cloud spend management framework to continuously optimize cloud costs.
• Implement and manage cost optimization strategies, including reserved instances, savings plans and discount programs, right-sizing, and workload scheduling.
• Evaluate and roll out cloud spend management tools and practices to enhance visibility, accountability, and efficiency.
• Lead the granularization of tagging, tracking, and reporting for cloud resources to enable accurate allocation and cost analysis.
• Develop and deliver cloud utilization and cost metrics to leadership, ensuring transparency and proactive management.
• Collaborate closely with CloudOps, engineering, finance, and product teams to balance cost efficiency with scalability and performance needs.

Qualifications:

• 3+ years of experience managing AWS cloud environments, including cost optimization, governance, and operational efficiency.
• Experience in a multi-product SaaS environment with significant and dynamic cloud workloads.
• Strong understanding of AWS cost structures, billing mechanisms, and optimization levers (e.g., reserved instances, spot instances, auto-scaling).
• Hands-on experience with tagging strategies, cost allocation, and reporting tools (e.g., AWS Cost Explorer, CloudHealth, or similar).
• Proven ability to implement frameworks and processes that drive cost discipline across engineering and product teams.
• Excellent analytical skills and the ability to communicate cost insights and recommendations to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Familiarity with FinOps practices and principles.
• Knowledge of infrastructure-as-code and automation tools (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation) to support cost efficiency efforts.
• Prior involvement in post-consultancy cost optimization programs, taking them from project to ongoing practice.
