• Identify and automate cleanup of orphaned/idle cloud resources
• Partner with Finance (FP&A) on cloud forecasting and budget variance analysis
• Configure automated anomaly detection and cost spike alerts

Requirements:

• 3–5+ years in Cloud Operations, IT Asset Management, or Cloud Financial Management
