Are you good at analyzing data and making the translation to convincing advices for colleagues for cost-saving implementations within a Hybrid Cloud? Do you also enjoy automating your analyses? Then we are looking for you!

What you are going to do

We are looking for reinforcement for the central Cloud FinOps Team. The team ensures that Cloud Engineers are aware of the cloud spending and advises them on cost savings. Within NN we work with a Hybrid Cloud model: the Private Cloud with our own data servers and the Public Cloud with AWS and Azure infrastructure. You will be responsible for managing and optimizing the financial operations of the Private Cloud infrastructure (Middleware, Hardware, and Operating Systems). You will collaborate with various teams and roles like Product Managers, Product Owners, customers, and finance teams. Therefore it is important to be able to easily switch between the different players to convincingly convey your insights and advices. Additionally, you will work with your team on the generic implementation of cloud finance operations by developing shiny dashboards so the insights are also easily readable for your colleagues.

Main responsibilities:

Analyse cloud costs: Create a clear overview of the cloud spending and automate as much as possible to create this analysis
Capacity and demand management: How are the tools, contracts and licences being used among different departments and teams. And what is the capacity forecast? Advise and challenge the technical product owners and product managers on your findings
Advise customers: Finding (creative) ways to get the most out of our cloud spending, like optimizing resources to run more efficiently. Analyzing the cost per unit of service or product, like figuring out the cost per user for our digital products. Notify abnormalities in the CMDB and initiate corrective actions
Organize cost governance: Setting guidelines and processes to keep costs under control, like creating budgets and alerts to avoid overspending. Create dashboards to visualize the cost insights

What we offer you

NN invests in an inclusive, inspiring work environment and in skills and competences for the future. We match this with employee benefits that are in line with what is needed today and in the future. This way, we offer our employees the opportunity to get the best out of themselves. We offer you:

Salary between €4,546 and €6,495 depending on your knowledge and experience
13th month and holiday allowance are paid with your monthly salary
27 vacation days for a 5-day working week and one Diversity Day
A modern pension administered by BeFrank
Plenty of training and learning opportunities
NS Business Card 2nd class, which gives you unlimited travel, also privately. Do you prefer to travel with your own transport? Then you can declare the kilometres travelled
Allowances for setting up your home office and for internet use

Who you are

You have a curious mind, a pro-active attitude and a persuasiveness character. You are confident enough to work alone and convince others of your creative solutions. Next to analyzing data, you’d like to make your work easier with technical implementations like a shiny dashboard for yourself and the customers.

Furthermore, you recognize yourself in (multiple) of the following skills and experiences:

Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Finance, or a related field
Basic knowledge of OS, hardware, middleware and/or cloud technologies
Background in either finance or engineering
Experience with Excel, PowerBI and CMDB is useful
Experience with Databricks is a preference
Excellent communication and collaboration skills

Who you will work with

The central Cloud FinOps Team now consists of two engineers and one Product Owner. Everyone has their own expertise (Public Cloud, Kubernetes or Private Cloud) and own stakeholder field, but you share the same goal: maintain and improve the IT environment from a cost perspective. Next to the central Cloud FinOps Team, you will work closely together with the Private Cloud Domain including 40 engineers working in 5 different teams over two locations (Den Haag and Prague).
