Capgemini Invent

At Capgemini Invent, we believe difference drives change. As inventive transformation consultants, we blend our strategic, creative and scientific capabilities, collaborating closely with clients to deliver cutting-edge solutions. Join us to drive transformation tailored to our client's challenges of today and tomorrow. Informed and validated by science and data. Superpowered by creativity and design. All underpinned by technology created with purpose.

Your Role

As a Cloud Economics/Finops Consultant at Capgemini Invent you will be part of our Cloud Advisory capability within the wider Business Technology capability unit. Our Cloud Advisory capability aims to inspire, lead and support organisations on their journey of adopting cloud for creating business and revenue models, generating growth, ensuring regulatory compliance and reducing their carbon footprint.

The Cloud Economics function covers Cloud Business Case, FinOps and Cloud Value Realisation. You will focus on advising our clients on processes and solutions that will help ensure that they are gaining the greatest value from their cloud solutions at all stages of the cloud adoption journey.

You will be required to work and communicate with all levels of an organisation to collaboratively innovate, design and implement new cloud economics models. You’ll bring an acute sense of market trends and the challenges facing our clients, to deliver lasting and sustainable organisation transformations.

In this role you will play a key role in:

  • Cost Optimisation Analysis: Review and analyse cloud usage patterns to identify cost saving opportunities. Guide cloud users on methods to optimise cloud usage, establish and enforce budget-aligned policies for financial accountability.
  • Financial Reporting and Analysis: Prepare detailed financial reports including forecasting and present these to senior client management and application teams to highlight cloud spend and trajectory to provide visibility into cloud spending
  • Policy and Governance: Establish cloud governance policies, guardrails and best practice to assure cost control.
  • Training and Enablement: Provide training on FinOps best practices and establish mechanisms to promote a culture of accountability and cost awareness.
  • Vendor Engagement: Engage and manage relationships with cloud vendors.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
