About the Job

Requirements

  • Experience owning both strategy and execution for a cloud, vendor, or AI cost-optimization program, rather than only executing a plan designed by someone else.
  • Deep knowledge of the AI vendor ecosystem, including pricing models, contract structures, optimization levers, and nuances that differ from traditional cloud cost management.
  • Technical expertise in network and cloud architecture, cost management, and optimization techniques sufficient to directly design or evaluate dashboards and automation.
  • Experience managing an area without an established model and building its framework as it develops rather than applying a known model.
  • Demonstrated track record managing large, cross-organizational programs spanning multiple business units.
  • Strong strategic communication skills, including translating complex technical and financial trade-offs into concrete decisions for senior leadership.
  • Proven ability to influence senior stakeholders and drive change across the organization without direct hierarchical authority.

Responsibilities

  • Own the organization-wide strategy for cloud, vendor, and AI cost management, not merely execution of an existing roadmap.
  • Continuously reassess what to optimize, its priority, and the reasons for those choices based on actual spending concentration and risks.
  • Build the AI cost-management framework in an area without an established industry model.
  • Analyze cloud usage, vendor contracts, and AI spending to identify inefficiencies and develop strategies to reduce unnecessary costs.
  • Directly design or shape dashboards, automation, and monitoring systems that make costs visible and actionable, using technical depth equivalent to a senior engineering role.
  • Propose specific technical optimizations, not only process recommendations, and identify when a suggestion requires deeper engineering partnership.
  • Apply hands-on experience building and automating with AI rather than only guiding other teams.
  • Oversee and, in some cases, simultaneously execute multiple cost-optimization initiatives.
  • Own cost attribution, monitoring, and alerting structures and use them to present senior leadership with a clear and reliable account of spending and savings.
  • Partner with Financial Planning and Analysis to define and establish key cost metrics that provide leadership with a more accurate financial view of cost efficiency.
  • Manage cross-functional dependencies, risks, and change across Site Reliability Engineering, engineering, data, Financial Planning and Analysis, and procurement teams.
  • Present perspectives on feasibility, timelines, risks, and cost trade-offs directly to senior leadership to guide decisions affecting budgets and infrastructure choices.
  • Balance centralized cost-management standards with the autonomy individual business units need to operate effectively.
  • Proactively surface issues and advocate for change across products and teams rather than waiting to be asked.
  • Partner with delivery operations leadership on Technical Program Manager career development, best practices, and the foundations of the broader Technical Program Management function.
  • Mentor other Technical Program Managers to raise the technical and strategic capability of the overall team.
