- Lead enterprise FinOps and financial governance practices, including facilitating working groups, enforcing tagging standards, and enabling chargeback/showback capabilities.
- Report cloud financial performance and portfolio status to executive leadership and the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR).
- Drive outcomes in a complex, federated organization by aligning competing priorities and building consensus among diverse stakeholder groups.
- Translate complex technical architectures and cloud transformation concepts into mission-relevant terms for non-technical stakeholders and leadership.
