Job summary

The Mobility Division within S&P Global seeks an operations owner for cloud governance and compliance to ensure day-1/day-2 readiness across cloud environments. You will collaborate with Security/Risk and Platform teams to implement standards without slowing delivery.

You will drive guardrails, evidence, and automation across AWS/Azure/GCP, building durable governance patterns while maintaining strong incident and audit readiness across a global environment.

Qualifications

• 3-6 years in cloud operations / platform engineering / cloud governance (operations-first).
• Hands-on experience running multi-account / multi-subscription environments: provisioning, inventory/metadata, tagging standards, baseline logging/monitoring, and decommissioning.
• Strong cloud governance + guardrails experience (OU/org structures, inherited controls, policy change management, exception handling).
• Operational experience with policy-as-code (e.g., Cloud Custodian): deploying policies, tuning, handling exceptions/rollbacks, producing metrics/evidence.
• Practical vulnerability + patch operations: using tools like Tenable, triaging findings, routing to owners, tracking SLAs, reporting aging, maintaining coverage/data quality.
• Automation skills (Python/Bash/PowerShell) and familiarity with IaC concepts (Terraform/CloudFormation-style).
• Strong operational discipline: runbooks, change management, incident support, stakeholder communication, audit evidence handling.

Responsibilities

• Own and improve core cloud operations capabilities: account vending, guardrails, compliance evidence, and vulnerability/patch hygiene
• Work cross-functionally with Platform Engineering, application teams, IAM, Risk/GRC, and Audit in a global environment
• Drive automation (policy-as-code / IaC / scripting) to reduce toil and improve consistency
• Gain exposure to multi-cloud operations (AWS/Azure/GCP) where applicable, while building durable governance patterns

Job description

The Team

The Mobility Division within S&P Global uses technology and data science to deliver insights, forecasts, and advisory services across the automotive value chain. The Cloud Operations team enables these products by running a reliable, well-governed cloud foundation—working in a collaborative culture focused on shared learning, operational rigor, and continuous improvement across a multi-account environment.

The Impact

This role is the operations owner for cloud governance and compliance at scale. You’ll keep cloud environments “day-1/day-2 ready” through strong account lifecycle management, guardrails, patch/vulnerability workflows, and audit-ready evidence. You’ll partner with Security/Risk (as stakeholders) and with Platform/App teams (as executors/owners) to ensure standards are implemented without slowing delivery.

Responsibilities

• Own and improve core cloud operations capabilities: account vending, guardrails, compliance evidence, and vulnerability/patch hygiene
• Work cross-functionally with Platform Engineering, application teams, IAM, Risk/GRC, and Audit in a global environment
• Drive automation (policy-as-code / IaC / scripting) to reduce toil and improve consistency
• Gain exposure to multi-cloud operations (AWS/Azure/GCP) where applicable, while building durable governance patterns

Required Skills

• 3-6 years in cloud operations / platform engineering / cloud governance (operations-first, not a security analyst role)
• Hands-on experience running multi-account / multi-subscription environments: provisioning, inventory/metadata, tagging standards, baseline logging/monitoring, and decommissioning
• Strong cloud governance + guardrails experience (OU/org structures, inherited controls, policy change management, exception handling)
• Operational experience with policy-as-code (e.g., Cloud Custodian): deploying policies, tuning, handling exceptions/rollbacks, producing metrics/evidence
• Practical vulnerability + patch operations: using tools like Tenable, triaging findings, routing to owners, tracking SLAs, reporting aging, maintaining coverage/data quality
• Automation skills (Python/Bash/PowerShell) and familiarity with IaC concepts (Terraform/CloudFormation-style)
• Strong operational discipline: runbooks, change management, incident support, stakeholder communication, audit evidence handling

Nice to have

• Multi-cloud experience (AWS/Azure/GCP) and comfort standardizing controls across platforms
• IAM governance exposure (RBAC/least privilege patterns, access reviews, break-glass processes)
• Experience integrating compliance/guardrails into CI/CD and platform “paved roads”
• Backup/DR operational experience (restore testing, RTO/RPO alignment, documentation)
