Position Summary

At Nestlé Purina, we believe pets and people are better together. As a leader in pet nutrition, our focus is bridging physical and digital experiences through agile ways of working, calculated risk-taking, and a data-driven mindset. Our New Business Models team consists of technical pioneers that design, build, and maintain groundbreaking technologies and product innovations that are transforming the lives of pets and their owners.

Together, we drive results while creating and transforming the future of petcare.  

The Senior Cloud Health and Standards Specialist owns defined cloud-health and account-administration processes for New Business Models (NBM) environments across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Working independently with limited supervision, this role maintains account context, identifies risks and recurring gaps, drives adoption of approved standards, and follows actions through to closure with the teams that own the affected platforms and products. You'll turn account and platform signals into clear reporting, timely escalation, and practical improvements to review, tracking, and automation workflows. Additionally, you'll own assigned operational processes and improvement projects, while platform, security, FinOps, and product owners retain their technical, control, funding, and delivery decisions. In this role, cloud health means maintaining compliant, cost-controlled, and consistently standardized cloud environments.

• Own day-to-day cloud health and account administration processes across assigned AWS, Azure, and GCP accounts, subscriptions, and projects, partnering with designated technical owners.
• Maintain a current inventory of cloud environments, noting the products each supports, its accountable owner, and lifecycle stage.
• Monitor portfolio health across security, compliance, cost, reliability, access, observability, and operational readiness, identifying risks and recurring gaps against established standards.
• Ensure cloud health alerts, findings, and requests are visible to the appropriate platform, security, FinOps, or product teams, with clear context and follow-up to support their action.
• Confirm the teams responsible for affected platforms and products acknowledge issues requiring remediation, and maintain visibility of their planned actions, owners, and status.
• Drive adoption of approved cloud standards across areas such as account configuration, tagging, logging, access, networking, backup, monitoring, deployment, and support.
• Partner with security and compliance teams to translate enterprise requirements into measurable checks, remediation plans, and repeatable cloud-health processes.
• Track cloud services and software nearing or past end of support, including runtime deadlines and policy exceptions.
• Partner with FinOps and product teams to monitor cloud spend, investigate anomalies and cost drivers, track optimization opportunities, and improve cost visibility and forecasting.
• Produce clear reporting for technical teams and leadership on portfolio health, risk trends, exceptions, overdue actions, cost trends, and areas requiring decisions or escalation.
• Coordinate recurring cloud-health reviews with product teams, Cloud Architecture & Platform Engineering, security, FinOps, enterprise IT, and external partners.
• Identify patterns across accounts and recommend improvements to standards, platforms, processes, or automation rather than relying on repeated one-time fixes.
• Build or coordinate automation for recurring health checks, evidence collection, notifications, ticketing, dashboards, and reporting to reduce manual effort.
• Facilitate cross-functional discussions when ownership, policy interpretation, funding, sequencing, or remediation responsibility is unclear, ensuring decisions and exceptions are documented.
• Support and coach colleagues and external partners involved in cloud-health reviews, remediation tracking, and reporting processes.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree OR equivalent experience, plus 5+ years of experience in cloud architecture, platform engineering, cloud operations, cloud governance, security, FinOps, site reliability engineering, or a related discipline.
• 3+ years of experience supporting cloud governance or operations, including areas such as cloud health, security and compliance, cost management, technical currency, operational standards, or remediation.
• 2+ years of experience improving cloud processes through automation and tooling, such as Infrastructure as Code (IaC), dashboards, policy checks, ticketing, or reporting, while coordinating work across technical teams and stakeholders.

Other

• Experience with AWS Organizations, Azure management groups or subscriptions, GCP organizations or projects, or comparable multi-account structure preferred.
• Experience with cloud security posture management, vulnerability management, cloud financial management, or technical lifecycle programs preferred.
