About The Role
This position has a hybrid work arrangement.
On average, this means 2-4 days on-site per quarter.
Please note that this is subject to change due to business priorities.
As ATB’s next FinOps Lead, you will be a highly visible and influential individual contributor role navigating the critical relationship between cloud providers and cloud consumers (Engineering). You won’t just report numbers; you will help manage the performance and delivery of cloud services to ensure our technology teams keep pace and stay ahead of demand.
Your mission is to provide governance and oversight to operational capacity, managing risk while empowering engineers to innovate. You will move us beyond simple “cost reporting” to true Unit Economics and Value-Based decision-making.
Accountabilities
Data Analysis & Reporting (The Technical Core)
Go Deep on Data: You won’t rely on pre-canned reports. You will create complex SQL queries to transform raw cost/usage data into actionable insights.
Dashboarding: Develop and maintain dashboards (Tableau, Looker, DataStudio) for consumption at various levels of the organization—from Executive Summaries to Engineer-level views.
Implement data model to provide better granularity and visibility into cloud financial forecasting
Forecasting & Migration Strategy
Predict with Confidence: Create and oversee the process for migration forecasts and ongoing consumption models. You will monitor variances between budget and actuals, pushing for mitigating actions when they drift.
Agile Budgeting: Leverage cloud agile processes to assess and rebalance spend on a weekly/monthly basis, minimizing the variance between what we planned and what we spent.
Process & Governance
Define the Standard: Develop and implement policies and workflows to manage risk in our cloud infrastructure.
Automation: Work with the DevOps/SRE team to define requirements for automating key Cloud Asset and financial metrics. (Scripting skills in Python/Shell are a huge asset here).
Communication & Influence
Bridge the Gap: Establish a regular communication cadence across the organization to discuss strategic objectives, best practices, and KPIs.
Optimization: Work directly with business units to evaluate optimization opportunities—whether that is a process improvement or a technology architecture change.
Skills, Experience & Requirements
Experience: 3+ years in a FinOps or Data Analyst role.
The “Bi-Lingual” Skill Set: You have the ability to translate between Finance (Budgets, Forecasts) and Engineering (Services, Architecture).
Technical Chops
Strong experience with SQL for querying complex datasets is required.
Experience creating dashboards (Tableau, Looker, DataStudio, etc.).
Automation tooling (Shell scripting, Cloud SDK, Python) is a strong asset.
Problem Solving:
You are a proactive thinker who can recognize patterns in processes, discover conflicts, and influence others to adopt new workflows.
Certifications: Certifications from cloud providers (AWS/Azure) and/or FinOps (FOCP) are an asset.
