Job Description

You will join our FinTech Ops team which is placed within our Infrastructure organization. Our team currently consists of 14 internal colleagues and some external consultants. We support and collaborate closely with various technical product teams, covering network, cloud, hardware- and software asset management.

We have a very open, collaborative, easygoing, and fun atmosphere in our team. We are a very diverse group of people who have a high degree of professionalism, and we always strive to deliver high quality results, but we also love to send GIF’s, crack jokes and drink coffee at the Barista. Spoiler; we have three baristas at LEGO Campus and coffee is free!

Partnering with DX and Cloud Foundation team

As a FinOps Specialist, you will partner up with our DX and Cloud Foundation team, which consists of a team of passionate cloud engineers, who help product teams adopt Cloud and assist them with creation of a DevSecOps experience. We work in an agile backlog-driven setup which means we have very close collaboration.

Cloud is a key strategic focus for the digital organization at the LEGO Group and we’re thus looking for 2 new colleagues to join this exciting journey and build up our FinOps team and evolve our cloud financial management services.

So don’t be shy, go apply!
