Responsibilities

• Make daily decisions on compute resource allocation and workload placement, balancing performance, resiliency, and long‑term licensing costs across clusters
• Advise application, middleware, and architecture teams on appropriate infrastructure designs and constraints (e.g., on‑prem vs cloud, OS vs middleware cost separation)
• Review licensing implications of technical decisions (SQL Server, Windows Server, Intersight), including alignment with support and lifecycle dates
• Participate in recurring and ad‑hoc architecture and migration meetings, often acting as the technical decision point or tie‑breaker across Windows, Storage, DBA, Automation, and vendor teams

• Coordinate with vendors and service providers (e.g., Microsoft, CDW) on reviews, renewals, statements of work, and implementation planning
• Review and approve (or reject) new server and resource requests, ensuring sizing is justified, conservative, and aligned with operational standards and licensing impact (e.g., memory/core allocations, storage requests)
• Evaluate security and access requests, enforcing privileged access standards (e.g., CyberArk Y‑accounts) and providing corrective guidance when requests are incomplete or non‑compliant
• Coach teams on better request and sizing practices, setting expectations for data‑driven justifications rather than historical assumptions and coach on operational execution and troubleshooting
