  • Professional Experience: A minimum of 5 years of experience in cloud financial management, FinOps, or related roles, with a proven track record of optimizing cloud costs and implementing financial governance structures.​
  • Technical Proficiency: In-depth knowledge of cloud services and billing models across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Experience with cloud cost management tools such as Cloudability, Apptio, CloudHealth, or AWS Cost Explorer.​
  • Analytical Skills: Strong capability in data analysis and financial modeling, with proficiency in tools like Excel, Google Sheets, and Power BI. Ability to interpret complex datasets and present findings clearly to stakeholders.​
  • Communication Skills: Excellent verbal and written communication skills in both Arabic and English, with the ability to convey technical concepts to non-technical audiences and influence decision-making processes.​
  • Collaboration and Leadership: Demonstrated experience in leading cross-functional teams, fostering collaboration between finance, engineering, and product departments to achieve financial efficiency goals.​
  • Problem-Solving Abilities: Proactive approach to identifying issues and implementing effective solutions, with a focus on continuous improvement and innovation in cloud financial management practices.​

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
