Job description

Cox Automotive Inc.# FinOps Senior Manager## Job DescriptionFinOps Senior Manager (Cloud & SaaS) Cox Automotive is expanding our Financial Operations (FinOps) capability to accelerate business value from our cloud and SaaS investments. In this role, you’ll lead cross-functional initiatives that bring financial transparency, accountability, and continuous optimization to our cloud platforms and key SaaS tools. You’ll partner with Technology, Product, Finance, and Accounting to operate the Cloud Business Office’s chargeback processes, designed to promote success for our teams operating in the cloud.

This position will begin as an individual contributor, focused on delivering high-impact results through strategic execution and cross-functional collaboration.

Guide vendor strategy with Sourcing/Procurement—support renewals and commitments with consumption forecasts and optimization roadmaps. Enable the enterprise on cost-aware operations—coach teams on engineering, budget guardrails, and FinOps best practices; contribute to playbooks and brown-bag sessions. Deliver executive-ready communications—crisp summaries of trends, drivers, savings, and risks for senior leaders.Who You Are A FinOps leader who blends financial acumen with technical fluency—equally comfortable in a GL conversation or a cloud design review. A collaborator who builds trust with Engineering, Finance, and Accounting, who can simplify complex cost topics for broad audiences.Qualifications (Required) Bachelor’s degree in a related discipline and 8 years’ experience in a related field (or equivalent combination of education and experience). 3+ years experience in Cloud Economics or FinOps, focused on public cloud and data platform cost management (AWS, Azure, GCP, and SaaS platforms).
