Cloud Cost Governance Lead - Multi-Cloud FinOps
This is a remote position. The Role Own end-to-end cost visibility, governance, and optimization across our multi-cloud estate. You will be the single owner for what we spend, why, and what to do about it — across every tenant, account, and project. Weighted toward the platforms we use most: Azure (primary), AWS (significant), GCP (working depth)
Responsibilities
Cost ownership: Own total spends across Azure, AWS, and GCP; maintain a single source of truth and classify every cost as expected, internal, or anomalous. Monitoring & anomaly detection: Run daily monitoring with threshold alerts per tenant, account, and workload using Azure Cost Management & Partner Center, AWS Cost Explorer / CUR / Budgets, and GCP billing export to BigQuery. Root cause analysis: Own cost incidents end to end — identify root cause, quantify impact, and drive the fix with engineering, finance, and the cloud providers. Platform-to-cloud integrity: Ensure provisioning and lifecycle automation reconcile cleanly with actual cloud billing state, closing gaps between platform actions and what the cloud bills. Data & reporting: Own the cost pipelines (Partner Center, AWS CUR, GCP BigQuery export, Power BI / SQL); ensure completeness and resilience to provider format changes. Refund & recovery: Identify refund/credit-eligible cases and drive them to closure with Microsoft, AWS, and Google. Forecasting & optimization: Forecast spend against deployments and usage; drive commitment-based savings (Azure Reservations, AWS Savings Plans/RIs, GCP CUDs), rightsizing, and budget discipline
Requirements
Deep knowledge, direct experience, and/or hands-on ownership of: Azure cost management at scale (primary): 5+ years owning Azure FinOps in a multi-tenant / CSP / EA / MCA context - Cost Management, Partner Center, subscription and resource-group billing, reservations, and usage/marketplace attribution. AWS cost governance: 3+ years hands-on with Cost Explorer, CUR, Organizations / consolidated billing, Budgets, Cost Anomaly Detection, and Savings Plans / RIs. GCP billing: working proficiency with billing export to BigQuery, budgets, and committed-use discounts — able to operate independently. Cost data & reporting: building (not just consuming) dashboards and pipelines in Power BI / SQL / BigQuery, kept resilient through schema changes. Strong analytical and communication skills, able to explain cost drivers and trade-offs to technical and business stakeholders. This is a true hands-on ownership role. Please apply only if you are actively working with cloud billing and cost data today — we are looking for proven, demonstrable depth across Azure, AWS, and GCP, not familiarity alone.
