Seeking a Cloud FinOps Analyst
Seeking a Cloud FinOps Analyst to collaborate with teams on driving financial accountability, cost transparency, and optimisation across cloud and data platforms. This role plays a pivotal part in shaping and governing the organisation’s cloud financial management practices—ensuring cost efficiency, value realisation, and consuming healthily across Azure and Snowflake environments.
Responsibilities
- Lead the organisation’s FinOps optimisation agenda across cloud and data platforms, with a focus on Snowflake consumption, Kubecost insights, and cloud-native cost efficiency.
- Analyse cloud and Snowflake spend, identify trends and optimisation opportunities, and provide clear financial and technical recommendations.
- Implement and track cost-saving actions such as rightsizing, workload scheduling, warehouse optimisation, and waste elimination.
- Develop, maintain, and enforce cloud and data platform cost governance frameworks including tagging, budgeting, guardrails, and accountability processes.
- Oversee cost observability tooling (Kubecost, Snowflake dashboards, cloud cost portals) to ensure visibility of usage, forecasts, and budget performance.
- Manage budgeting, forecasting, cost allocation, and financial reporting for cloud and Snowflake platforms, including chargeback/showback models.
- Collaborate with Finance, Engineering, Cloud Ops, and Data teams to embed cost-awareness, support planning cycles, and ensure shared ownership of optimisation outcomes.
