Job description

  • Turn cloud data into clarity. Analyse spend across multi-account AWS (and some Azure) environments, spotting trends, forecasting spend, and uncovering optimisation opportunities.
  • Enable cost-aware decisions. Partner with Cloud Engineering, Finance, and Procurement to ensure budgets, forecasts, and investments are aligned across the business.
  • Champion best practice. Drive accountability through tagging, showback models, and governance, while helping teams understand the why behind cloud costs.
  • Support large-scale integration. Help cost profile, forecast, and optimise the migration and decommissioning of systems following a major merger.
  • Evolve the FinOps toolkit. Enhance dashboards, automate reporting, and introduce new ways to surface real-time insights and drive action.

Requirements

  • Proven experience in FinOps, Cloud Economics, or Cloud Cost Management - ideally in large-scale or multi-account cloud environments.
  • Strong analytical skills with hands-on experience using AWS Cost Explorer, CloudHealth, Cloudability, or similar tools.
  • Confident working with data (Excel, SQL, or BI tools like Power BI) and turning numbers into meaningful insights.
  • Familiarity with budgeting, forecasting, and financial modelling (OPEX/CAPEX).
  • Excellent communicator - comfortable translating between technical and financial stakeholders.
  • Experience working on migration, integration, or M&A projects is highly desirable.
  • FinOps Foundation certification (or equivalent) is a plus.
