Associate Director, Bridges and Structures - UK Wide As a key member of our Bridges and Structures team, you'll help lead our transformation…
About the role
We are looking for a business-oriented leader to architect and own the financial operating model for our entire cloud infrastructure. This isn't a reporting role; you are the single-threaded owner responsible for optimizing one of the company's largest technology investments. Your mission is to transform our cloud spend from a complex cost center into a predictable, efficient engine for innovation. You will report to senior leadership and be empowered to support the negotiation of multi-million dollar contracts, drive cultural change across engineering, and provide the financial clarity required for strategic business decisions.
What You'll Do
Cultural Change: Act as the evangelist for Cloud FinOps. Champion a culture of cost ownership across our engineering organization by empowering teams with the dashboards, insights, and training needed to make cost an integral part of their design and operating principles.
Governance & Visibility: Architect a system of governance and accountability. Design and implement a universal resource tagging strategy, moving beyond simple reporting to create robust showback/chargeback models that give engineering teams true ownership of their spend.
Optimization & Efficiency: Drive a company-wide optimization program. Go beyond "low-hanging fruit" to create a continuous optimization program, partnering with engineering to refactor applications for cost, adopt new pricing models, and eliminate systemic waste.
Commercial Strategy & Negotiation: Develop and execute the strategy to lead negotiations with our cloud vendors, right-sizing our commitments to align with our business strategy and eliminating financial risk.
Forecasting & Budgeting: Build and operate our data-driven forecasting model. Partner directly with the Tech and Finance organizations to eliminate spending volatility and provide the business with a reliable cloud budget and accurate forecast.
