FinOps Specialist

At Supercell, our cloud infrastructure powers games played by hundreds of millions of monthly players. To keep our cloud operations scalable, efficient and cost-effective, we are looking for a FinOps Specialist to take ownership of our Cloud financials.

As a FinOps Specialist, you’ll take ownership of tracking cloud expenditures, forecasting costs, and identifying opportunities for optimisation. You’ll work with cost data—analyzing it, visualizing it, and turning it into dashboards, reports, tools and insights that support our teams. You’ll collaborate with internal teams to promote cost transparency and cloud efficiency while working directly with cloud providers in everything from regular cadence calls to large contract negotiations. This role offers a chance to make a tangible impact across our business, balancing innovation with fiscal responsibility.

• Identify and implement cloud cost optimization strategies, such as utilising commitment-based discounts, rightsizing and removing idle resources

• Participate in managing vendor relationships, negotiating contracts, and collaboration to ensure we’re getting the best value from our cloud providers

• Enhance our cost allocation methods to provide the company and teams a clear view of cloud expenses

• Provide financial forecasting for cloud usage for company and team-level forecasts

• Check and approve invoices, ensuring correct billed amounts and cost allocation

Requirements:

• 3+ years of experience in financial analysis, cloud operations or a comparable role

• Proficient in querying data with SQL

• Strong analytical and financial modelling skills, with the ability to turn data into actionable insights

• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across cross-functional teams

• A knack for prioritizing tasks in a fast-paced environment

Nice-to-Haves:

• Familiarity with cloud platforms and their diverse pricing models (e.g. AWS, Google Cloud, Tencent Cloud)

• Certification in AWS Cloud Practitioner, Google Cloud Digital Leader or equivalent work experience

• Familiarity with FinOps principles and best practices

• Experience in managing large cloud budgets and driving cost optimization initiatives.
