Responsibilities:
  • Budget Planning & Management:
    • Manage the GCP budget allocation process across multiple business units, ensuring alignment with annual operating plans and strategic initiatives.

  • Financial Reporting & Analysis:
    • Generate and distribute regular, high-level financial reports focusing on cost allocation, budget status, and consumption trends for executive review.
    • Translate complex GCP billing data into clear, actionable business insights regarding spend distribution and utilization efficiency.

  • Policy & Process Development:
    • Define and document the internal processes for budget change requests, forecasting adjustments, and new resource deployment approvals from a cost perspective.
    • Champion the cultural shift toward financial accountability by communicating allocation policies and reporting methodologies across the organization.

 Required Skills & Experience:
  • 5+ years of experience in a FinOps, Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A), or Cost Management role, specifically within a technology or cloud environment.
  • 2+ years of hands-on experience working with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) billing concepts (e.g., Projects, Billing Accounts, Committed Use Discounts, Billing Exports).
  • Expertise in managing and reconciling large, complex technology budgets, focusing on allocation, chargeback design, and accurate forecasting.
  • Strong proficiency in advanced Microsoft Excel and experience with enterprise financial systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle, Workday).
  • Exceptional communication and partnership skills, with a proven ability to collaborate effectively with both Finance stakeholders and technical product owners.
  • A related technical degree required.

 Preferred Qualifications:
  • FinOps Certified Practitioner certification.
