Title:  FinOps - Sr Technical Lead-Cloud & Infra Engg

Description: 

Area(s) of responsibility

The FinOps Lead will be responsible for establishing and operating a formal FinOps governance capability across cloud and on-prem environments. This role is accountable for driving financial accountability, cost governance, and optimization outcomes, transitioning the organization from fragmented, tool-driven cost management to a structured, ownership-led operating model.

  • Roles, responsibilities, and ownership structure

  • Implement cost allocation frameworks:
  • Tagging standards
  • Business unit / application-level cost ownership
  • Enable:
  • Showback / chargeback models
  • Budget tracking and financial forecasting
  • Act as the bridge between IT, Operations, and Finance
  • Ensure outputs are:
  • Finance-consumable
  • Business-aligned (not technical reports)

4. Reporting & Self-Service Model (Eliminate Ad Hoc Dependency)

  • Establish a centralized reporting factory:
  • Standardized dashboards (Power BI / equivalent)
  • Scheduled reporting cadence
  • Self-service reporting capabilities
  • Eliminate dependency on:
  • Architects for routine analysis
  • Manual report generation
  • Ensure reporting is:
  • Automated
  • Accurate and sourced from systems of record

5. Cost Optimization & Continuous Improvement

  • Drive identification and execution of optimization opportunities:

  • Reservation planning
  • Track:
