Role summary
Own cost transparency and savings execution across AWS. This role exists to turn cloud spend into controlled, intentional economics - not just dashboards. You will partner directly with engineering and platform leaders to identify, prioritize, and implement savings initiatives while maintaining performance and reliability.
Forecasting, budgeting, and KPIs matter—but only insofar as they enable better decisions and sustained savings.
What you’ll do
- Cost ownership & analysis
- Establish and maintain a clear AWS cost baseline by service, account, environment, and owner.
- Identify cost drivers, anomalies, and structural inefficiencies using CUR and native tooling.
- Savings execution
- Design and continuously tune Savings Plan / Reserved Instance strategies with explicit coverage targets and risk tradeoffs.
- Drive rightsizing, scheduling, and storage optimization initiatives through to completion.
- Governance & accountability
- Improve tagging and cost allocation quality; map ownership for accounts and shared services.
- Support account consolidation and resolution of orphaned or mis-owned accounts.
- Planning & measurement
- Build rolling forecasts and budgets as decision inputs—not static commitments.
- Track a savings pipeline (identified → validated → implemented → realized) and report outcomes using a small, meaningful KPI set.
- Cross-functional leadership
- Influence engineering roadmaps when savings require architectural or operational changes.
- Translate cost tradeoffs clearly for technical and non-technical stakeholders.
What success looks like
- AWS spend is attributable and explainable.
- A prioritized, owned savings backlog is actively being burned down.
- Realized savings show up in bills, not slides.
Required experience
- 5–8+ years in AWS-focused FinOps or cloud cost ownership roles.
- Hands-on execution of Savings Plans and/or RIs with realized impact.
- Strong grasp of AWS billing, linked accounts, tagging failure modes, and shared services.
- Comfort working directly with senior engineers and pushing through ambiguity.
Nice to have
- FinOps Foundation certification(s)
- SQL/Python for cost analysis
- Experience with third-party CCM tools (Cloudability, CloudHealth, Harness, etc.)
What this role is NOT
- Not a reporting-only or dashboard-first role
- Not a finance analyst detached from engineering reality
- Not a DevOps or IaC automation role
- Not “advisory FinOps” where someone else implements the work
This role counts with a compensation budget of $155K - $165K + bonus.
