Amazon Web Services (“AWS”) has been the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted platform. AWS offers hundreds of featured services to millions of active customers around the world—including the fastest-growing startups, largest enterprises, and leading government agencies—to power their infrastructure.

Do you have the business and technical acumen to collaborate across multiple business owners to help drive successful IT transformation and adoption? Would you like to be part of a team focused on working with customers to ensure they’re leveraging the full economic potential of AWS through financial management?

The AWS Cloud Economics Engagements team helps customers identify and quantify value creation opportunities at each stage of their journey to the cloud. We engage directly and collaboratively with customers, partners, and internal AWS teams to deliver cloud value advisory expertise, business value case development, and Cloud Financial Management best practices and methodologies. The Cloud Economics team can help answer the customer question : “What value can I expect to achieve by using AWS?”

Cost and operational effectiveness to support the adoption of new technologies is key to accelerating the business and technological benefits of the AWS platform. AWS offers customers an alternative consumption model that differs from how businesses have traditionally bought IT by focusing on paying only for what you need.

You will be hands-on and a motivated self-starter who's passionate about working directly with customers to help organizations adopt new processes, purchasing strategies, and cross-functional collaboration to embrace technologies at scale and to ensure long-term customer success.

As FinOps / Cloud Financial Management Specialist, you will have the opportunity to engage with some of the largest customers in the world to help transform the way they purchase, manage, and optimize IT services.

You will engage with customers’ Enterprise IT, Operations, and Finance teams to implement best practices for adoption and cost savings. This will include generating and providing recommendations on how customers can optimize their usage of AWS, services not considered, working to reengineer internal people and processes, and working with partners to ensure ongoing success.

You will be experienced at working with large data sets, have familiarity with IT transformation within large organizations, and work directly within the executive suite. You will have superb communication and customer-relationship skills, outstanding analytic insight, and be a passionate advocate for AWS customers to other internal parties.
