What you’ll do

• Define multi‑year cloud platform strategy and roadmaps (landing zones, account/subscription structure, networking patterns, shared services, observability) aligned to business objectives, risk posture, and budget; present plans, KPIs, and outcomes to executives.
• Build and lead a multi‑disciplinary organization (platform engineering, cloud networking/WAN, database services, storage/backup/DR, FinOps). Set goals, metrics, org design, succession plans, and foster a culture of automation, reliability, and continuous improvement.
• Establish, implement, and govern cloud architectures, policies, standards, and guardrails (IaC, policy‑as‑code, tagging, CMDB/asset hygiene, golden images, secrets management). Approve reference designs and lifecycle plans for scale and supportability.
• Drive service reliability and operational excellence: SLOs/SLAs, monitoring/observability, incident/problem/change management, capacity/performance management, resilience testing/chaos; lead post‑incident reviews and systemic remediation.
• Direct cloud and WAN networking (VPC/VNet design, routing, DNS, private endpoints, service mesh, SD‑WAN, MPLS/Internet, Direct Connect/ExpressRoute/Cloud Interconnect) to ensure secure, resilient connectivity and segmentation.
• Oversee database services (managed and self‑managed where applicable—relational, NoSQL, streaming): provisioning, patching, performance tuning, backup/restore, HA/DR, schema governance, and modernization.
• Lead cloud storage, backup, and DR strategy (object/file/block services, snapshots, replication, backup tooling, retention/legal hold) and validate RPO/RTO through regular recovery tests and cross‑region/zone failover exercises.
• Own the FinOps practice: cost allocation, tagging, budget alerts, commitment planning (SPs/RIs/Savings Plans), rightsizing, elasticity policies, chargeback/showback; partner with Finance for forecasting and variance analysis.
• Manage CSPs/MSPs and tool/vendor ecosystem: negotiate contracts, optimize TCO, track SLAs/OLAs, and evaluate new services.
• Ensure security and compliance with Security, Risk, and Audit (Zero Trust, hardening, vulnerability remediation, identity/privileged access, encryption, logging, audit evidence). Collaborate with Enterprise Architecture, Application, Data, and On‑Prem Infrastructure teams to enable hybrid patterns, migration factories, platform services (Kubernetes/serverless/queues), and self‑service developer experiences.
