• 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

• 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
