The role focuses on implementing practical Azure cloud governance, financial management, policy standards, governance as code, cost optimization, and FinOps practices while coaching client teams and delivering reusable solutions and documentation.
Responsibilities
- Assess existing Azure cloud governance, financial management, resource organization, tagging, and policy practices to identify gaps, risks, and opportunities for improvement
- Facilitate cross-functional discussions to define practical cloud tagging standards, including required tags, allowed values, ownership, inheritance, and exception handling
- Design and implement an Azure management group hierarchy that supports consistent governance across subscriptions and environments
- Design, author, and implement Azure Policy definitions and initiatives to enforce governance, security, compliance, and cost-management standards
- Establish governance as code using Terraform and GitHub Actions, including building deployment workflows and promotion processes from the ground up
- Implement policies using appropriate effects and rollout strategies, including audit, deny, and exemption approaches
- Develop compliance reporting and remediation processes that identify non-compliant resources and provide actionable ownership and remediation paths
- Evaluate Azure cost-management practices, including budgets, alerts, thresholds, approval processes, and cost allocation approaches
- Conduct Azure optimization reviews covering resource utilization, right-sizing, reservations and commitments, idle or orphaned resources, region and SKU considerations, and other opportunities to improve cloud efficiency
- Quantify optimization opportunities using defensible methodologies and communicate potential financial impact to both technical and finance stakeholders
- Develop practical approaches for showback, cost attribution, shared-cost allocation, and resource ownership
- Evaluate cloud governance and financial management approaches across additional cloud platforms and provide strategic recommendations where appropriate
- Develop reusable governance patterns, implementation guidance, technical standards, and documentation that can be extended beyond the initial engagement
- Establish practical processes for maintaining compliance with tagging, policy, governance, and financial management standards over time
- Partner closely with client cloud administrators through paired implementation, knowledge sharing, and technical coaching
- Present findings, recommendations, and future-state opportunities to technical leadership and executive stakeholders
- Develop a FinOps maturity roadmap and prioritized backlog for future phases of the client's cloud governance transformation
- Create runbooks, documentation, and handoff materials that enable the client's team to independently operate and extend the solutions delivered during the engagement
