  • Maintain tagging and account hygiene so spend can be attributed accurately.
  • Report on utilization, capacity, and cost trends to the Director of Cloud.
  • Maintain accurate documentation of environments, configurations, and runbooks.

  Support and collaboration

  • Stay current on cloud services and recommend operational improvements.
