## About the Role

Capgemini Invent is hiring a Senior Consultant to lead FinOps workstreams focused on cloud cost visibility, allocation, optimization, and forecasting. The role is designed to help clients move from reactive cloud spend management to a more controlled, forecastable operating model.

You will work directly with billing and usage data across AWS, Azure, and GCP, helping identify savings opportunities and reduce waste. The role also requires close collaboration with engineering, finance, and procurement stakeholders to turn cost insights into practical improvements.

A key part of the position is building reporting and governance foundations that support showback, unit economics, tagging strategy, and cost allocation.

– Support FinOps maturity assessments, roadmaps, and business case development.
– Coach junior team members and ensure the quality of analytical outputs.
