Leads multi-cloud FinOps across Azure, AWS, and GCP, owning spend visibility, chargeback, billing reconciliation, anomaly detection, incident resolution, forecasting, optimization, and executive reporting. Manages a 24x7 cost operations team, develops cost data pipelines and dashboards, enforces budgets and tagging, and drives commitment savings, rightsizing, and billing governance across tenants, accounts, and projects.
This is a remote position.
Location: Remote across India; may transition to onsite in the future
Work Timings: EMEA/US; owns 24x7 escalation coverage
The Role
Own end-to-end cost visibility, governance, and optimization across our multi-cloud estate, and lead the team that runs it. You will be the single owner entire spend- across every tenant, account, and project. Weighted toward the platforms we use most: Azure (primary), AWS (significant), GCP (working depth)
Responsibilities
- Cost ownership & chargeback: Own total spends across Azure, AWS, and GCP; maintain a single source of truth; reconcile CSP / Partner Center billing so every line resolves to a client, a programme, or an explicit unallocated bucket that shrinks month over month.
- Lead the function: Own the 24x7 cost operations pod - shift model, handover discipline, SLAs, coaching - and be the single owner of any cost or billing message that reaches a customer, Microsoft, internal leadership.
- 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 - root cause, impact, fix, preventive control, and refund status. .
- No surprise billing: Own the commercial calendar - NCE terms and cancellation windows, auto-renew posture, GDAP expiries, provider policy changes - plus budgets, thresholds, and tag enforcement, before any of it becomes an invoice.
- Platform-to-cloud integrity: Ensure provisioning and lifecycle automation reconcile cleanly with actual cloud billing state and define what our internal cost platform builds next.
- Data & reporting: Own the cost pipelines (Partner Center, AWS CUR, GCP BigQuery export, Power BI / SQL) and publish the monthly leadership one-pager: spend vs budget, variance with cause, unit economics, leaks found vs recovered, forecast, top three actions with owners.
- Forecasting & optimization: Forecast spend against deployments, subscriptions, and quota headroom; 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.
- A chargeback or show back model you designed and operated, including how you handled what could not be attributed.
- AWS cost governance: 2+ years hands-on with Cost Explorer, CUR, Organizations / consolidated billing, Budgets, and Savings Plans / RIs. GCP billing export, budgets, and CUDs: exposure, with appetite to build depth.
- Cost data & reporting: building (not just consuming) dashboards and pipelines in Power BI / SQL / BigQuery, kept resilient through schema changes. Leading a small shift-based ops team.
- Strong analytical and communication skills, able to explain cost drivers and trade-offs to technical and business stakeholders, and to write a one-page leadership update that stands on its own.
This is a hands-on ownership role with a team attached. Please apply only if you are actively working with cloud billing and cost data today - we are looking for proven depth in Azure, real competence in AWS, and someone who has owned the number in front of leadership, not familiarity alone
