Job description

Description
About Alvarez & Marsal
Alvarez & Marsal (A&M) is a global consulting firm with over 10,000 entrepreneurial, action and results-oriented professionals in over 40 countries. We take a hands-on approach to solving our clients' problems and assisting them in reaching their potential. Our culture celebrates independent thinkers and doers who positively impact our clients and shape our industry. The collaborative environment and engaging work-guided by A&M's core values of Integrity, Quality, Objectivity, Fun, Personal Reward, and Inclusive Diversity-are why our people love working at A&M.
The Team
Alvarez & Marsal's Corporate Performance Improvement practice is looking for a FinOps leader who bridges finance, engineering, and operations to align cloud investments with maximum business value. This is both a strategic role - defining cloud financial management roadmaps - and a hands-on tactical role designing and implementing cost avoidance and cost reduction measures.
Experience Should Include
  • Cloud cost modeling, optimization, and benchmarking (government and/or commercial comparables) including AI workloads.
  • FinOps framework implementation - governance, tagging taxonomy, chargeback/show-back models, KPI frameworks
  • FinOps Open Cost and Usage Specification (FOCUS)
  • Workload rightsizing, auto-scaling, and commitment-based discount strategy (reserved instances, savings plans, committed-use agreements)
  • Orphaned/unused resource identification and remediation - VM rightsizing, guardrails, tagging automation
  • Native cloud cost management tools (AWS Cost Explorer, Azure Cost Management, GCP Billing) and third-party FinOps platforms (Apptio, Flexera, Cloud Health)
  • Enterprise software licensing consolidation and optimization
  • AI-assisted cost anomaly detection, forecasting, and optimization recommendation engines - must demonstrate active use of AI tools in delivery; AI fluency is required for this role
How you will contribute
  • Develop and execute comprehensive FinOps strategies aligned with business and mission goals, detailing frameworks, processes, and governance
  • Create and maintain FinOps roadmaps embedding cost-conscious practices into engineering and architecture lifecycles
  • Design KPI frameworks with clear targets and accountability mechanisms to monitor FinOps delivery
  • Establish governance frameworks for tagging, budgeting, and resource accountability - including guardrails to prevent unnecessary resource allocation
  • Drive automation and transparency in cost reporting, anomaly detection, and forecasting - providing real-time visibility into cloud spend across mission partners
  • Build ROI models and cost reduction business cases that quantify optimization impact for executive audiences
  • Integrate findings into A&M's broader engagement scope and deliverables
  • Support practice development through internal training, content creation, and people development
Qualifications
  • 8-12+ years of professional experience in cloud cost management and FinOps practice development
  • FinOps Practitioner or FinOps Engineer certification strongly preferred
  • Demonstrated 15-30% cloud cost savings delivery on prior engagements
  • Strong data analytics and visualization skills - experience with SQL, PowerBI, or equivalent
  • Federal FinOps experience helpful but not required - demonstrated cost optimization at scale in any large enterprise is the primary qualifier
  • Bachelor's degree required; Finance, Computer Science, or MIS preferred
  • Comfortable with travel up to 80%
  • Full-time, contract, and project-based engagements available
What Distinguishes a Great Candidate
Has built FinOps practices from scratch in large enterprises - not just reported on costs. Can do rate negotiation strategy. Understands both the financial and engineering levers of cloud cost optimization. Brings AI-powered cost analytics and forecasting as standard practice, not as an add-on.
