Senior Staff Technical Program Manager - FinOps

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by 👋

We're looking for a Senior Staff Technical Program Manager to join our Product & Technology Operations team and own how we manage, optimize, and scale cloud, vendor, and AI spend across the organization.

You will define the FinOps strategy itself - not just run an existing cost program, but decide what gets optimized, in what order, and why. Cloud and vendor cost management has an established playbook that we want to scale and automate; AI spend does not. You'll be defining and building FinOps for AI, while also evolving existing practice into a more automated system.

This is a very senior technical IC role. You'll bring enough technical depth to build or directly shape the automations, dashboards, and optimization recommendations yourself, and enough strategic judgment to influence how leadership thinks about cost trade-offs and how we partner with Finance, Procurement and other functions on all things vendor management and optimizations.

What you’ll be doing:Define the FinOps strategy

• Own the strategy for cloud, vendor, and AI cost management across the organization - not just the execution of an existing roadmap.

• Continuously reassess what to optimize, in what order, and why, based on where spend and risk are actually concentrated.

• Build the framework for managing AI cost, an area with no established industry playbook yet.

Drive cost optimization with technical depth

• Analyze cloud usage, vendor contracts, and AI spend to identify inefficiencies and develop strategies to reduce unnecessary cost.

• Build or directly shape the dashboards, automations, and monitoring systems that make cost visible and actionable, at a technical depth equivalent to a Senior Engineer.

• Propose specific technical optimizations, not just process recommendations, and know when a suggestion requires deeper engineering partnership.

• Apply hands-on experience building and automating with AI, not just directing others to do it.

Lead the program across the organization

• Oversee and in some cases execute multiple cost-optimization initiatives simultaneously.

• Own the reporting structure - cost attribution, monitoring, and alerting - and use it to tell leadership a clear, trustworthy story about spend and savings.

• Partner with FP&A to define and establish key cost metrics giving leadership a sharper financial lens on cost efficiency.

• Manage cross-functional dependencies, risk, and change across SRE, Engineering, Data, FP&A, and Procurement teams.
