Vertafore
Vertafore is a leading technology company whose innovative software solutions are advancing the insurance industry. Our suite of products provides solutions to our customers that help them better manage their business, boost their productivity and efficiencies, and lower costs while strengthening relationships.
Our mission is to move InsurTech forward by putting people at the heart of the industry. We are leading the way with product innovation, technology partnerships, and focusing on customer success.
We are looking for a Cloud Financial Operations (FinOps) Manager who thrives at the intersection of cloud technology, finance, and business strategy. This is a hands-on role, not a people-management role—your impact will come through analysis, influence, and execution.
You will be the key driver of how we understand, optimize, and act on our AWS cloud spend. Your ability to translate data into insights, and insights into measurable savings, will directly shape our ability to scale efficiently. You’ll partner with engineering, operations, finance, product, and executive teams to make cloud economics a strategic advantage for the organization.
Core Duties And Responsibilities
Analyze and Optimize AWS Spend: Own detailed cost and usage analysis, including Reserved Instance and Savings Plan utilization, anomaly detection, and spend forecasting. Identify trends and opportunities for cost reduction without compromising performance or business outcomes. Drive Savings Execution: Move beyond analysis—build action plans, secure alignment, and follow through on execution of savings initiatives. Partner with engineering teams to right-size workloads, modernize architectures, and shift spend patterns. Build Organizational Awareness: Create clear reporting, dashboards, and narratives that explain cloud economics, risks, opportunities and decision points to stakeholders from engineers to executives. Act as a trusted advisor to senior leadership, ensuring decisions around cloud growth are data-driven. Deliver monthly FinOps reports to stakeholders, highlighting variances, trends, and savings opportunities. Enable a FinOps Culture: Champion cost accountability across teams by embedding FinOps practices into engineering roadmaps and financial planning cycles. Educate teams on AWS billing constructs, optimization levers, and trade-offs. Knowledge, Skills And Abilities
Analytical Rigor: Advanced ability to mine large datasets (Athena, Cost Explorer, CloudHealth, or similar tools) and surface meaningful insights. Execution Mindset: Not just identifying opportunities, but successfully executing them in collaboration with engineering, operations, and finance. Stakeholder Savvy: Comfortable working with developers, finance analysts, and C-level leaders alike—able to tailor the message to the audience. Business Acumen: Understanding of how cloud economics tie to margins, product pricing, and long-term strategy. Visualizations: Ability to create effective visualizations to better communicate with partners and stakeholders. Qualifications
A bachelor's degree in business, accounting, finance, mathematics, economics, computer science or a related field and five years of relevant professional experience. 5+ years in cloud financial operations, cloud cost optimization, or related disciplines, with deep AWS knowledge. Proven track record of Cloud financial excellence. Project management certification, experience and/or background. Additional Requirements And Details
Travel required up to 10% of the time. Occasional lifting and/or moving up to 10 pounds. Frequent repetitive hand and arm movements required to operate a computer. Specific vision abilities required by this job include close vision (working on a computer, etc.). Frequent sitting and/or standing. Vertafore is an equal employment opportunity employer and welcomes applications from diverse candidates. We are a drug-free workplace and conduct pre-employment drug and background screenings.
