About the role: What's in the Box

The service provider will architect and own the financial operating model for the global cloud infrastructure. This is a business-oriented leadership mission where the external expert acts as the primary stakeholder responsible for optimizing significant technology investments. The objective is to transform cloud spend into a predictable, efficient engine for innovation, providing the financial clarity required for strategic business decisions and supporting the negotiation of high-value infrastructure contracts.

What you’ll do: The Recipe

• Cultural Transformation: Act as a subject matter expert for Cloud FinOps, driving a culture of cost ownership across the engineering organization through technical guidance, insight dashboards, and knowledge sharing.
• Governance & Visibility: Design and implement a universal resource tagging strategy and robust showback/chargeback models to ensure clear service delivery accountability.
• Optimization & Efficiency: Lead a continuous optimization program, collaborating with engineering to refactor applications for cost-efficiency and adopting advanced pricing models.
• Commercial Strategy: Develop and execute strategies for cloud vendor negotiations, aligning commitments with business objectives to mitigate financial risk.
• Forecasting & Budgeting: Build and operate data-driven forecasting models, partnering with Tech and Finance stakeholders to eliminate spending volatility and provide accurate budgetary projections.

What you’ll bring: The Ingredients

• 7+ years of dedicated experience in Cloud FinOps or Cloud Financial Management, with a proven track record of managing significant AWS spend.
• Mastery of Cloud Economics, including deep expertise in AWS cost structures (Savings Plans, Reserved Instances, Spot, and CUR).
• Exceptional analytical and financial modeling skills, with the ability to build data-driven business cases for executive-level stakeholders.
• Technical credibility to discuss architectural trade-offs with engineers and optimize application architecture for cost.
• Proven experience in leading or participating in large-scale commercial negotiations with major cloud vendors.
• A "builder's mentality" with the ability to design FinOps processes and strategies from the ground up.
• Proficiency with scripting (e.g., Python/Bash) and experience with third-party tools (e.g., Vantage, CloudHealth) is highly advantageous.

Above all, we are looking for individuals who will make HelloFresh better. We believe there are many different ways of developing skills and we love diverse experiences! So even if you don’t “tick all the boxes” but think you’d thrive in this role, we would really like to learn more about you.

What we offer: The Toppings

• Global collaboration at scale: Collaborate with experienced engineers and product partners across HelloTech’s international teams, in a culture of active knowledge sharing.
• Technology with real-world impact: Build and operate modern systems at global scale, supporting 6+ millions of customers and complex supply chain operations.
• Technical/Product/Design leadership: Drive best practices and influence architecture/design, quality, and ways of working in an autonomous, product-led setup.
• End-to-end development/delivery: Drive decisions from problem definition to production, improving systems and enabling long-term scalability.
