Work 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.
