[Hiring] Cloud Cost Governance Lead @Spektra Systems LLC

Role Description

This is a remote position.

Location: Remote across India; may transition to onsite in the future

Work Timings: EMEA/US; owns 24x7 escalation coverage

Own end-to-end cost visibility, governance, and optimization across our multi-cloud estate, and lead the team that runs it. You will be the single owner of the entire spend across every tenant, account, and project, weighted toward the platforms we use most: Azure (primary), AWS (significant), GCP (working depth).

Responsibilities

• Cost ownership & chargeback: Own total spends across Azure, AWS, and GCP; maintain a single source of truth; reconcile CSP / Partner Center billing so every line resolves to a client, a programme, or an explicit unallocated bucket that shrinks month over month.
• Lead the function: Own the 24x7 cost operations pod - shift model, handover discipline, SLAs, coaching - and be the single owner of any cost or billing message that reaches a customer, Microsoft, internal leadership.
• Monitoring & anomaly detection: Run daily monitoring with threshold alerts per tenant, account, and workload using Azure Cost Management & Partner Center, AWS Cost Explorer / CUR / Budgets, and GCP billing export to BigQuery.
• Root cause analysis: Own cost incidents end to end - root cause, impact, fix, preventive control, and refund status.
• No surprise billing: Own the commercial calendar - NCE terms and cancellation windows, auto-renew posture, GDAP expiries, provider policy changes - plus budgets, thresholds, and tag enforcement, before any of it becomes an invoice.
• Platform-to-cloud integrity: Ensure provisioning and lifecycle automation reconcile cleanly with actual cloud billing state and define what our internal cost platform builds next.
• Data & reporting: Own the cost pipelines (Partner Center, AWS CUR, GCP BigQuery export, Power BI / SQL) and publish the monthly leadership one-pager: spend vs budget, variance with cause, unit economics, leaks found vs recovered, forecast, top three actions with owners.
• Forecasting & optimization: Forecast spend against deployments, subscriptions, and quota headroom; drive commitment-based savings (Azure Reservations, AWS Savings Plans/RIs, GCP CUDs), rightsizing, and budget discipline.

Qualifications

• Deep knowledge, direct experience, and/or hands-on ownership of:
• Azure cost management at scale (primary): 5+ years owning Azure FinOps in a multi-tenant / CSP / EA / MCA context - Cost Management, Partner Center, subscription and resource-group billing, reservations, and usage/marketplace attribution.
• A chargeback or show back model you designed and operated, including how you handled what could not be attributed.
• AWS cost governance: 2+ years hands-on with Cost Explorer, CUR, Organizations / consolidated billing, Budgets, and Savings Plans / RIs. GCP billing export, budgets, and CUDs: exposure, with appetite to build depth.
• Cost data & reporting: Building (not just consuming) dashboards and pipelines in Power BI / SQL / BigQuery, kept resilient through schema changes. Leading a small shift-based ops team.
• Strong analytical and communication skills, able to explain cost drivers and trade-offs to technical and business stakeholders, and to write a one-page leadership update that stands on its own.

Requirements

• This is a hands-on ownership role with a team attached. Please apply only if you are actively working with cloud billing and cost data today - we are looking for proven depth in Azure, real competence in AWS, and someone who has owned the number in front of leadership, not familiarity alone.
