The listing, marked up
Nothing in the wording of this listing tripped a check. The scores above still judge how complete and coherent it is.
This is a remote position.
Location: Remote across India; may transition to onsite in the futureWork 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.
