We are looking for a disciplined, organized and results-driven Technical Program Manager to drive our cloud cost optimization initiatives and our infrastructure compliance projects. You will work with application and engineering teams across the organization, turn plans into owners and dates, and keep every program moving until it is done. You will be just as comfortable digging into cloud billing and compliance data as presenting progress and decisions to leadership.

Main responsibilities:

Cost optimization (FinOps): drive the initiatives end to end. Analyze cloud billing data, find savings, agree actions with application teams, and track them to completion.

Infrastructure compliance: drive the projects. Plan, follow up and close out security and compliance work with the teams that own the infrastructure.

Program management: run each program with a clear plan, owners, dates, risks and status, and keep teams aligned even when they do not report to you.

Executive communication: present progress, results and recommendations to senior leadership in clear, polished presentations.

AI and automation: use AI tools to remove manual work, streamline reporting and create compelling visuals.

Who you are:

Disciplined: you hold yourself to a high standard and follow through.

High passion to learn and grow: you are curious, welcome feedback and keep getting better.

Desire to get the job done: you don't wait to be told, and you drive things to completion.

What you bring:

Proven program or project management experience, partnering closely with engineering teams on technical work.

Analytical and good with numbers: comfortable with spreadsheets, cloud billing dashboards and financial metrics.

Good business sense: you understand how technical and operational decisions affect cost and risk.

A passion for using AI tools to automate manual work and to tell the story visually.
