You will run the FinOps operating rhythm across multi-cloud and on-prem platforms: build unit economics (per user, endpoint, vCPU-hour, GB-month, ticket), forecast with discipline, align budgets to outcomes, and drive an optimization backlog that steadily lowers total cost of ownership.

You will identify waste, right-size capacity, negotiate pricing levers, and coordinate remediation with delivery teams without jeopardizing service levels.
