We are looking for a senior -level Cloud FinOps / Technology Finance professional to help a large enterprise organization build and mature how it manages, forecasts, governs, and optimizes its cloud investment.

• Translate cloud consumption and architecture decisions into financial impact
• Identify and quantify cloud cost optimization opportunities
• Develop executive dashboards and reporting around cloud spend, forecast accuracy, utilization, and optimization
• Partner across Finance, Cloud Engineering, IT, Procurement, Product, and business teams
• Advise senior leadership on cloud investment decisions, risks, cost drivers, and optimization opportunities
• Establish scalable and repeatable FinOps practices across the enterprise

What We're Looking For

• 8+ years of relevant experience in FinOps, cloud financial management, technology finance, FP&A, cloud economics, or a related discipline
• Strong financial modeling, budgeting, forecasting, and scenario-analysis skills
• Experience with Microsoft Azure and/or another major cloud platform
• Ability to understand cloud architecture and translate technical decisions into financial implications
• Experience with cloud cost allocation, optimization, governance, and consumption management
• Strong executive communication and stakeholder-management skills
• Experience leading complex, cross-functional initiatives
• Ability to effectively bridge the gap between Finance and Technology

Additional Experience That Stands Out

• Cloud economics and FinOps methodologies
• Technology Financial Management (TFM)
• Chargeback and showback methodologies
• Cloud unit economics
• Cloud cost-management and reporting platforms
• Data visualization and executive reporting
• Cloud contract and commercial-model analysis
• Enterprise cloud governance

The Opportunity

• Location: Remote, but you must currently reside in Ohio
• Engagement: Contract with the potential to convert to full-time employment
• Compensation: $75$95/hour W2
• Highly visible opportunity to help shape how a large enterprise manages and optimizes its cloud investments
