Job description

Randstad is seeking a highly responsive, technically proficient Cloud FinOps Analyst on behalf of a premier client in the Washington, D.C. area. This is a hands-on, operational role requiring real-time agility and deep technical acumen to drive financial accountability across a multi-cloud estate (primarily AWS and Azure). You won't just be crunching numbers; you will act as a technical peer to engineering teams, quickly identifying and mitigating cost anomalies as they arise during core business hours. The ideal candidate brings strict discipline to resource tagging, possesses the technical "chops" required to understand complex cloud architectures, and has deep, practical expertise in FinOps tooling.

Key Responsibilities

  • Real-Time Operational Support: Act as the first line of defense for the cloud environment. Maintain high availability during Monday Friday business hours to rapidly respond to cost anomalies, alerts, and operational issues.
  • Tagging Strategy & Enforcement: Lead the design, implementation, and strict enforcement of cloud resource tagging and naming conventions to ensure complete cost visibility and allocation accuracy.
  • Cost Optimization & Right-Sizing: Monitor daily usage patterns across AWS, Azure, and GCP to uncover cost-saving opportunities, aggressively driving resource right-sizing and waste elimination.
  • Anomaly Investigation: Investigate sudden cloud cost spikes with urgency, collaborating directly with Development and Cloud Solutions teams to root-cause issues and prevent recurrence.
  • Financial Reporting & Showback: Manage enterprise showback/chargeback models, translating complex cloud billing data into clear, actionable insights for finance and leadership teams.
  • Governance & Compliance: Contribute to the continuous enhancement of multi-cloud governance frameworks, ensuring that engineering teams align with organizational financial standards.

Qualifications

  • Deep Technical Acumen: Must possess the technical "chops" to understand AWS and Azure architectures (compute, storage, databases, networking) and intelligently discuss resource configurations with DevOps and engineering teams.
  • Mandatory Tooling Expertise: Proven, hands-on experience utilizing Apptio and CloudAbility in a large enterprise environment is strictly required.
  • Tagging Mastery: Deep operational knowledge of automated tagging policies, compliance remediation, and cost allocation methodologies.
  • Operational Readiness: Strong sense of urgency and excellent communication skills, with a proven track record of being highly responsive and accessible during standard business hours.
  • Analytical Skills: High proficiency in navigating complex cloud pricing models (Savings Plans, RIs, Spot Instances) and synthesizing raw billing data into strategic recommendations.
  • Certifications (Bonus): FinOps Certified Practitioner and/or AWS/Azure technical certifications are highly preferred.
