Requirements

5+ years in technology operations, procurement, or cloud finance, with at least 2–3 years of experience in a formal people management or leadership role.
Demonstrated ability to bridge the gap between Finance, DevOps/SRE, R&D and Product teams, fostering a cost-conscious engineering culture without bottlenecking innovation or deployment speed.
Proven experience with production-grade environments in GCP and AWS, including deep knowledge of billing, commitment models, and discount structures.
Deep technical expertise across modern cloud ecosystems, including Kubernetes resource management, serverless compute, storage lifecycle tiering, and managed databases with a proven ability to translate complex architectural configurations into optimized unit economics.
A track record of operating successfully in a decentralized management structure, negotiating high-value, international contracts with major technology providers.
Familiarity with the cost drivers of AI, from API consumption tokens to the compute-intensive requirements of model training.
Ability to manage expectations and prioritize work across multiple "customer" teams and Engineering Managers.
Comfortable leading through a broad range of technologies and shifting priorities as we move from AI consumption to model building.
Strong analytical skills with the ability to provide a "safety net" during complex architectural shifts or cost anomalies.
Must be able to maintain high-bandwidth communication with global leadership and peers over textual mediums and video conferencing.
Exceptional presentation/leadership skills, concise and fluent communication.
