About the role
Senior FinOps Consultant
Why This Role?
Cloud investment continues to grow, and organisations need expert guidance to maximise value from every pound they spend. As a Senior FinOps Consultant, you'll work directly with customers to identify cost-saving opportunities, optimise public cloud environments and build mature FinOps capabilities that deliver long-term business value. This is a highly visible consulting role combining technical expertise, commercial awareness and customer engagement.
What You'll Be Doing
• Identify, analyse and prioritise cloud cost optimisation opportunities across Azure, AWS and GCP environments.
• Quantify potential savings and business benefits using FinOps methodologies and tooling.
• Implement usage and rate optimisation strategies to reduce cloud expenditure and improve efficiency.
• Design and deliver FinOps maturity roadmaps tailored to customer objectives.
• Lead customer workshops, presentations and enablement sessions for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Produce high-quality customer-facing reports and optimisation recommendations.
• Advise organisations on cloud financial management best practices and governance.
• Collaborate closely with pre-sales, professional services and managed services teams to drive successful customer outcomes.
• Support customers in establishing and scaling FinOps operating models.
• Help organisations build sustainable processes for continuous cloud cost optimisation.
What We're Looking For
Essential
• Proven experience implementing FinOps practices within Azure, AWS and/or GCP environments.
• Strong knowledge of the FinOps Framework, lifecycle, domains and capabilities.
• Hands-on experience with cloud cost management and optimisation tools.
• Ability to analyse complex data sets and identify trends, anomalies and cost-saving opportunities.
• Strong customer-facing consulting and stakeholder management skills.
• Experience presenting to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain cloud economics clearly.
• FinOps Practitioner or FinOps Professional certification.
Desirable
• AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner.
• Microsoft Certified: Azure Fundamentals.
• Experience operating within multi-cloud environments.
• Experience designing FinOps transformation or maturity programmes.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
• Work directly with customers to influence cloud strategy and spend optimisation.
• Gain exposure to Azure, AWS and GCP across a variety of client environments.
• Deliver measurable financial outcomes and cost savings.
• Lead FinOps maturity and cloud economics initiatives from strategy through to implementation.
• Combine technical, commercial and consulting expertise in a highly sought-after specialism.
• Develop trusted advisor relationships with senior business and technical stakeholders.
