• Build and maintain dashboards and reporting (e.g., AWS QuickSight) to track cloud usage, performance, and cost trends, and keep stakeholders informed
• Work with cloud providers on cost optimization, capacity planning, contract strategies, and adoption of new technologies
• Serve as a trusted advisor on cloud cost management best practices, governance, and FinOps maturity
• Translate complex data into clear insights, recommendations, and business cases (e.g., unit economics, forecasts)
• Own cloud cost reporting cadence, including monthly reviews, forecasting, budgeting, and financial reporting in partnership with finance
• Support and evolve cost optimization programs (e.g., Reserved/Spot Instances, tagging compliance, cost allocation)
• Drive a culture of cost awareness by helping teams understand and take ownership of cloud usage and efficiency
• Contribute to the Cloud FinOps roadmap and help mature practices aligned to FinOps frameworks (Inform, Optimize, Operate)
• Leverage tools and emerging technologies (including AI) to streamline reporting, detect anomalies, and uncover new optimization opportunities
