FinOps Consultant (German & English Speaking)
Our client, a highly regarded consulting and advisory practice, is looking to hire another Senior FinOps Consultant (Intermediate or Senior) to continue their expansion across the DACH region. This is a fully remote role, open to candidates based in Germany, Austria or Switzerland (or elsewhere in Europe), provided you are fluent in both German and English.
You will work directly with C-level and senior stakeholders, delivering independent, high-impact FinOps consulting services across hybrid and multi-cloud environments, through governance, operating model design, tooling implementation and organizational change.
The Opportunity
This role requires deep technical and business expertise along with a consultative, client-facing approach, as you will be guiding organisations through the full FinOps lifecycle, from maturity assessment and initial discovery, through implementation or optimisation, to value realisation/validation. You will also be helping to grow their FinOps practice internally.
Working alongside other leading FinOps and TBM specialists, you will need be acting as a trusted advisor, translating business, financial and operational goals into scalable, sustainable FinOps solutions that are embedded for long-term success.
Key Responsibilities
Lead and deliver FinOps engagements: maturity assessments, operating model design, tooling implementation, optimization sprints
Work directly with client stakeholders, including IT, finance, application engineering, and C-level, to drive accountability and change
Configure and optimize FinOps tooling (native tooling/Cloudability and others); deliver insight, not just dashboards
Support cost allocation design, tagging governance, commitment management and reporting across multi-cloud environments
Contribute to proposals, scoping and client development as the DACH practice grows
Use AI tooling actively in your daily work to move faster, build smarter and deliver better outcomes for clients
Requirements
5+ years’ experience in FinOps, cloud cost management or cloud economics, ideally including hands-on experience with IBM/Apptio Cloudability
Strong understanding of AWS, Azure and/or GCP cost structures and optimisation levers
Fluent in German and English (written and spoken), as you will be working with clients in both languages
Able to drive organizational change, not just configure tools or build reports
Operationally independent from day one – able to structure an engagement, run a workshop and write your own proposals
Comfortable with ambiguity and adaptable to a start-up environment where not everything is defined in advance
Active daily user of AI tools (Claude, Copilot, Cursor or equivalent). AI capable rather than simply AI-aware
Confident operating independently from day one and comfortable with the ambiguity that comes with a growing consultancy, supporting multiple clients at different stages of FinOps maturity
FinOps certification (or strong motivation to achieve it) is a plus, or equivalent practical grounding in the FinOps Framework
Able to build lightweight scripts or automation, with AI assistance, for client or internal use
Awareness of AI cost management as an emerging FinOps domain
