Job Description

Senior FinOps Consultant

Why This Role?

Cloud investment continues to grow, and organisations need expert guidance to maximise value from every pound they spend. As a Senior FinOps Consultant, youll work directly with customers to identify cost-saving opportunities, optimise public cloud environments and build mature FinOps capabilities that deliver long-term business value. This is a highly visible consulting role combining technical expertise, commercial awareness and customer engagement.

What Youll Be Doing

• Identify, analyse and prioritise cloud cost optimisation opportunities across Azure, AWS and GCP environments.
• Quantify potential savings and business benefits using FinOps methodologies and tooling.
• Implement usage and rate optimisation strategies to reduce cloud expenditure and improve efficiency.
• Design and deliver FinOps maturity roadmaps tailored to customer objectives.
• Lead customer workshops, presentations and enablement sessions for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Produce high-quality customer-facing reports and optimisation recommendations.
• Advise organisations on cloud financial management best practices and governance.
• Collaborate closely with pre-sales, professional services and managed services teams to drive successful customer outcomes.

• FinOps Practitioner or FinOps Professional certification.

Desirable

• AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner.
• Microsoft Certified: Azure Fundamentals.

• Deliver measurable financial outcomes and cost savings.
• Lead FinOps maturity and cloud economics initiatives from strategy through to implementation.
• Combine technical, commercial and consulting expertise in a highly sought-after specialism.
