Softchoice Design Studio is looking for a Principal to help the company expand its Financial Operations (FinOps) and Cloud Economics capabilities and services practice. You will lead and manage client engagements, advising at the highest strategic level on how FinOps enables cloud cost governance and business benefits realization. You will lead a team of associates and technical resources to deliver on customer engagements and ensure the customer’s objectives and outcomes are being met. You must be ambitious, innovative, and personable, with exceptional leadership qualities, to play a critical role in the Softchoice Design Studio as it grows. Your leadership must embody the vision and understanding of thinking financially, technically, and creatively.
Principals help clients through the three components of FinOps – Inform, Optimize, and Operate, plus the core principles to deliver upon sustainable cost controls and realize business value. The Principal introduces clients to unique insights, industry frameworks, and transformative thinking that encourages them to create the culture of their company’s FinOps capabilities in collaboration with Softchoice and the Softchoice partner ecosystem. Based on industry understanding and empathy, you will co-create, accelerate, and drive adoption toward optimizing what the client spends and uses in the public cloud. You will guide customers through the process to continue their iteration on their own over time. Principals are responsible for end-to-end opportunity ownership and working with other Softchoice resources to support deal closures and deliver in complex, cross-practice deals.
This position is for experts with direct experience in Cloud Cost Management.
What you’ll do:
As a Principal, you will play a critical role in leading a team to define, design, develop, and deliver FinOps services, workshops, and engagements.
You will reinforce a growth mindset and relish opportunities to use familiar and unfamiliar technologies, techniques, and processes. You will embrace FinOps and Cloud Economics practices and contribute to growing and improving our PODS at Softchoice. Through cross-functional collaboration, you will also expand your business and consulting skills through interactions with technical and non-technical colleagues and customers. Finally, you will be an active learner, identifying new or better ways to deliver impact with people and technology.
What you’ll bring to the table:
This role’s broad scope of responsibility requires a solid understanding of business and technology strategy, change management, and a principled approach to transformation challenges and opportunities. Our Principals know their customer industries, business, and how Softchoice can help drive their transformation toward cloud financial governance. They also share a standard set of characteristics – such as strong leadership and people skills – and bring the experience that drives innovation and customer value.
