Job description

This is a remote position.

Location: Currently remote but may transition to onsite in Future

Competency Weighting

Cloud	Weight	Depth required
Microsoft Azure	50–60%	Primary platform. Must be the candidate's deepest, demonstrable area - years of hands-on billing/FinOps ownership, not certification-level familiarity.
AWS	20–30%	Strong working command. Must have personally owned AWS cost governance at scale, not just "supported" it.
Google Cloud (GCP)	~10%	Functional proficiency. Able to read GCP billing, run cost queries, and extend governance to GCP workloads independently.

Core Accountability

Own end-to-end cost governance, intelligence, and risk control across all CloudLabs Azure, AWS, and GCP environments.
Single throat to choke for: no surprise spikes, real-time visibility, anomaly detection, root-cause closure, and refund/credit recovery.
Accountable directly to the COO.

Key Responsibilities

1. Multi-cloud cost ownership (primary)

Own total cloud spends across Azure (lead), AWS, and GCP -every tenant, account, project, subscription, and ODL.
Maintain a single source of truth: daily/weekly/monthly spend, with every dollar classified as Expected (revenue-linked), Internal (non-billable), or Unexpected (leak/anomaly).
Be able to explain any line item — across any of the three clouds — on demand, without convening a war room.

2. Real-time monitoring & anomaly detection

Azure (50–60%): Azure Cost Management + Partner Center, threshold/budget alerts per tenant, per deployment, per lab; native anomaly detection.
AWS (20–30%): Cost Explorer, Cost & Usage Reports (CUR), AWS Budgets, Cost Anomaly Detection, Organizations consolidated billing.
GCP (~10%): Billing export to BigQuery, budget alerts, billing-account-level monitoring.
Hard SLO: no anomaly on any cloud goes undetected beyond 24 hours.

3. Incident ownership & RCA

Own every cost incident end-to-end across clouds - root cause, quantified impact, and the engineering fix.
Maintain an RCA repository with recurring patterns (e.g., billing-after-deletion, orphaned resources, marketplace/AI-unit leakage) and preventive controls.

4. Platform ↔ cloud cost integrity

Drive engineering to close lifecycle gaps where CloudLabs "deleted" status diverges from actual cloud state — on all three providers.
Institute reconciliation checks and audit logs so deletion-to-billing integrity is verifiable, not assumed.

5. Data & pipeline ownership

Own all cost data pipelines - Partner Center, AWS CUR, GCP BigQuery export, Power BI/SQL reporting layers.
Guarantee data completeness (no repeat of the missing-May-usage gap) and schema resilience (no repeat of the Tier2MPNID pipeline break).

6. Refund, credit & recovery

Identify all refund/credit-eligible scenarios across Azure (MS support escalations), AWS, and GCP; drive tickets to closure; maintain a recovery tracker with status and ownership.

7. Forecasting & optimization

Build spend-prediction models tied to deployments, labs, and usage patterns across clouds.
Drive commitment-based savings (Azure Reservations, AWS Savings Plans/RIs, GCP CUDs), rightsizing, and budget controls.

Requirements

Must have (will be evidence-tested in interview):

8–12+ years in cloud/FinOps, with 5+ years personally owning Azure cost governance at meaningful scale (multi-tenant / CSP / EA / MCA). Must walk us through a real Azure overrun they detected, root-caused, and recovered — with numbers.
3+ years hands-on AWS cost ownership — must have built or run CUR-based reporting, Organizations billing, and Savings Plan/RI strategy themselves.
Working GCP billing proficiency — must have independently queried billing export in BigQuery and stood up budget controls.
Demonstrated ownership of cost anomaly detection that caught a real leak before it escalated — show us the before/after.
Built (not just used) cost dashboards and data pipelines — Power BI / SQL / BigQuery — and kept them resilient through schema changes.
Track record of driving engineering and finance to fix root causes, with examples of controls they put in place that stopped a problem from recurring.
