Senior DevSecOps / Cloud Governance Consultant
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to decide sections: About the role? Could be "About the role" summarizing Who We Are and engagement description. But we have "Who We Are" which is about company. Could treat as "About the company" but instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. They gave examples but not strict; we can use those headings if appropriate. However we must not invent headings with filler. We can use "About the role" to describe the engagement and responsibilities? But we also have "What You Will Do" which is responsibilities. So we could map:
- About the role: maybe a brief summary of the engagement (the eight-week engagement, remote 1099). Could be derived from first paragraph after Who We Are. But we need to preserve all substantive info; we can put that in About the role section.
- Responsibilities: "What You Will Do" list.
- Requirements: "What You Bring" (mandatory) list.
- Qualifications: maybe "Preferred Experience" as qualifications? Could be "Preferred Experience" as Qualifications or Skills. But we have Skills maybe from "What You Bring" includes skills. However we already used Requirements for mandatory. Could have Skills for preferred? Or we could have Qualifications for preferred. Let's decide: Use Requirements for mandatory (What You Bring). Use Qualifications for Preferred Experience. Use Skills maybe not needed.
- Benefits: from "How We Put You First": remote flexible hours, sponsored learning opportunities.
- Also maybe "Job Requirements" (must reside in US etc.) could be part of Requirements as well. Could combine.
We need to ensure we don't repeat info. Let's extract content.
Who We Are paragraph: At Trility Consulting®, we’ve built a strong, remote-work culture where people thrive, grow, and support each other – earning us Great Place to Work® Certification. Headquartered in Central Iowa, we embrace flexible schedules and collaboration across geographically distributed teams serving clients from all corners of the United States and globally. We seek team members with the grit necessary to forge paths where none previously existed, to get back up when circumstances knock them down, to adapt to the changing needs of the client even when it is uncomfortable, and to deliver on our commitments. Candidates must respect and value people, recognize that over-communication is barely good enough, thrive on solving complex problems, have a passion for building teams, and know that delivering what a client actually values is more important than their own predispositions. They understand value proposition, love delivering value, and take pride in learning the expansive and ever-changing business of clients. Candidates are self-motivated and relentlessly working to become more today than they were yesterday.
Then description of role: Trility Consulting is seeking a Senior DevSecOps/Cloud Governance Consultant to lead an eight-week engagement focused on establishing practical cloud governance, financial management, and policy standards within a large-scale Azure environment. This is a hands-on consulting engagement. You'll work directly with the client's cloud infrastructure and IT finance teams to design and implement governance controls that improve cost visibility, resource accountability, policy compliance, and long-term cloud management. You'll be responsible for turning strategy into working solutions—designing Azure management group structures, developing Azure Policy definitions and initiatives, establishing tagging standards, implementing governance as code with Terraform and GitHub Actions, and identifying actionable opportunities to improve cloud efficiency and financial accountability. This role requires someone who can comfortably move between technical implementation and executive-level conversations. You'll facilitate discussions with infrastructure, finance, architecture, and data stakeholders; make practical recommendations; document decisions; and coach the client's cloud administrators throughout the engagement. Trility follows a Coach-and-Contribute model. You'll build alongside the client's team rather than simply delivering recommendations and walking away. The goal is to leave the client with working solutions, clear documentation, reusable patterns, and the knowledge required to independently operate and extend the environment. This engagement is expected to last approximately eight weeks, with the potential for follow-on work as the client continues its cloud governance and FinOps transformation. This is a remote 1099 consulting engagement. Please no C2C.

- Conduct Azure optimization reviews covering resource utilization, right‑sizing, reservations and commitments, idle or orphaned resources, region and SKU considerations, and other opportunities to improve cloud efficiency
- Quantify optimization opportunities using defensible methodologies and communicate potential financial impact to both technical and finance stakeholders
- Develop practical approaches for showback, cost attribution, shared‑cost allocation, and resource ownership
- Evaluate cloud governance and financial management approaches across additional cloud platforms and provide strategic recommendations where appropriate
- Develop reusable governance patterns, implementation guidance, technical standards, and documentation that can be extended beyond the initial engagement
- Establish practical processes for maintaining compliance with tagging, policy, governance, and financial management standards over time
- Partner closely with client cloud administrators through paired implementation, knowledge sharing, and technical coaching
- Present findings, recommendations, and future‑state opportunities to technical leadership and executive stakeholders
- Develop a FinOps maturity roadmap and prioritized backlog for future phases of the client's cloud governance transformation
- Create runbooks, documentation, and handoff materials that enable the client's team to independently operate and extend the solutions delivered during the engagement
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in cloud engineering, cloud architecture, DevSecOps, platform engineering, FinOps, cloud governance, or related disciplines
- Deep hands‑on experience with Microsoft Azure cloud governance in enterprise environments

- Strong understanding of FinOps principles and practical cloud financial management
- Experience developing cloud tagging and resource organization standards to support cost allocation, ownership, reporting, and governance
- Experience with Azure Cost Management, billing data, cost allocation, showback/chargeback concepts, and cloud financial reporting

- Ability to assess existing environments, identify gaps, and independently develop practical remediation and implementation plans
- Strong consulting skills, including the ability to facilitate discussions, influence stakeholders, make recommendations, and navigate competing priorities
- Comfortable communicating with cloud engineers and administrators as well
