• Identify relevant data sources contributing to total cost of ownership calculations and support the design and implementation of solutions incorporating this data into reporting and analysis processes.
• Drive cloud cost optimisation initiatives by recommending reserved instances and savings plans, identifying rightsizing opportunities, and reducing unnecessary spend across cloud environments.
• Develop requirements for, build, maintain, and continuously improve real-time cloud cost dashboards, forecasting tools, and monthly reporting solutions.
• Own and maintain Cloud Cost KPIs, scorecards, and standard reporting metrics across the organization.
• Create and deliver dashboards and data visualisations that provide clear insights into cloud usage, consumption trends, and financial performance.

• Strong knowledge of Public Cloud platforms and services, including AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, as well as DevSecOps practices such as CI/CD and automation.
• Ability to communicate complex technical and financial information clearly to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
• Experience working in fast‑paced and collaborative engineering environments with a focus on continuous improvement and operational efficiency.
• Excellent command of English (written and spoken).
