• Build and maintain financial and data models to support forecasting, scenario planning, cost‑reduction initiatives, and cost allocation methodologies across products and customer segments.
• Drive analysis to improve hosting cost estimates for new business and evaluate pricing structures with Commercial leadership to support scalable, margin‑accretive growth.
• Partner with the FinOps team to maintain a fully cost‑allocated environment.

What you’ll have

• Education: MBA from Tier I B‑schools with ~6–8 years of experience in FinOps, Cloud cost optimization, FP&A or related areas in reputed organizations.
