Cloud FinOps Analyst

Here at MRJ, we're helping unite two household names in one of the most exciting M&A transformations happening in UK tech right now.

While professional experience and qualifications are key for this role, make sure to check you have the preferable soft skills before applying if required.

At the heart of this integration is a huge cloud modernisation programme, bringing together two large-scale AWS environments, embedding FinOps best practice, and building a more transparent, efficient, and scalable cloud ecosystem for the future.

We're now looking for a FinOps Analyst to join the cloud integration programme, playing a pivotal role in helping engineering, finance, and procurement speak the same language when it comes to cloud spend and value.

Inside IR35 | Fully Remote | 12-month contract

What will your role / responsibilities be?

• Turn cloud data into clarity. Analyse spend across multi-account AWS (and some Azure) environments, spotting trends, forecasting spend, and uncovering optimisation opportunities.
• Enable cost-aware decisions. Partner with Cloud Engineering, Finance, and Procurement to ensure budgets, forecasts, and investments are aligned across the business.
• Champion best practice. Drive accountability through tagging, showback models, and governance, while helping teams understand the "why" behind cloud costs.
• Support large-scale integration. Help cost profile, forecast, and optimise the migration and decommissioning of systems following a major merger.
• Evolve the FinOps toolkit. Enhance dashboards, automate reporting, and introduce new ways to surface real-time insights and drive action.

To be considered for this contract, you will offer:

• Proven experience in FinOps, Cloud Economics, or Cloud Cost Management – ideally in large-scale or multi-account cloud environments.
• Strong analytical skills with hands-on experience using AWS Cost Explorer, CloudHealth, Cloudability, or similar tools.
• Confident working with data (Excel, SQL, or BI tools like Power BI) and turning numbers into meaningful insights.
• Familiarity with budgeting, forecasting, and financial modelling (OPEX/CAPEX).
• Excellent communicator – comfortable translating between technical and financial stakeholders.
• Experience working on migration, integration, or M&A projects is highly desirable.
• FinOps Foundation certification (or equivalent) is a plus.
