Senior FinOps Engineer: On-Prem Data & Cost Dashboards

Hitachids; Greater London; Hybride; GBP 60 000 - 90 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

Hitachi Digital Services is seeking a FinOps engineer to deliver on-premises cost visibility, data integration, and reporting under the FinOps.org framework. You will bridge finance, engineering, and operations, building dashboards (Power BI/Tableau/Grafana) and collaborating with offshore teams to optimise licensing and budgeting.

You will contribute to cost governance, data normalisation, and unit economics calculations, shaping an actionable FinOps roadmap for quick-wins and longer-term value.

Qualifications

• 4–7 years in IT infrastructure, cost management, data analytics, or financial operations with at least 2 years focused on cost visibility or FinOps practices
• Hands-on experience building cost dashboards and reports for multi-stakeholder audiences
• Experience with on-premises licence management and optimisation in enterprise environments
• FinOps Certified Practitioner (FinOps.org) — required or willingness to certify within 6 months
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Data Analytics, Finance, or related field (or equivalent practical experience)

Responsabilités

• Implement cost data integration from identified sources: CMDB, asset management, procurement systems, licence portals, and monitoring tools — building automated data pipelines where possible
• Build and maintain data normalisation processes to unify cost data from disparate systems into a consistent, queryable format for reporting and analysis
• Develop and maintain FinOps dashboards and reports: executive cost views, business-unit breakdowns, trend analysis, anomaly alerts, and licence utilisation reports using Power BI, Tableau, or Grafana
• Conduct usage, pattern, and licence utilisation analysis: identify underused licences, oversized hardware, idle resources, peak/off-peak patterns, and capacity rebalancing opportunities
• Support the FinOps Architect in maturity assessments: gather evidence, document current-state practices, score maturity against FinOps.org’s Crawl/Walk/Run model, and track improvement progress
• Implement tagging and cost allocation improvements: work with IT operations to remediate tagging gaps, enforce naming conventions, and improve cost attribution accuracy
• Build cost models and unit economics calculations: TCO spreadsheets, cost-per-service models, amortisation schedules, and build-vs-buy analysis supporting the Architect’s cost modelling work
• Identify and document savings opportunities: produce savings registers with quantified impact, effort estimates, and implementation recommendations for quick-wins and mid-term initiatives
• Coordinate with the offshore FinOps engineer: define tasks, review deliverables, ensure data quality, and provide business context for analysis being performed offshore
• Support FinOps governance processes: prepare materials for cost review meetings, track budget variances, maintain anomaly logs, and document governance decisions
• Produce regular FinOps reporting packs for stakeholders across all persona groups — executive summaries, detailed analysis for finance, and actionable insights for engineering teams
• Contribute to the FinOps implementation roadmap: track delivery of quick-wins, report progress on mid-term initiatives, and flag risks or dependencies
