Job Description:

CELEBRATE YOUR PERSONALITY AND TEAM SPIRIT.

MAKE YOUR MARK.

North Highland believes in unleashing potential together. It means we challenge thinking and build our clients' capabilities so they are stronger for the long-term. It means we create and nurture an environment for our colleagues where sharing ideas isn't just encouraged - it's expected. And it means we give our skills, time, and passion to uplift our communities. We act, create, and build - not just talk.

Does that sound like you* If so, let's connect.

Join a team that delivers program leadership, PMO and portfolio management, and project management services that address the unique culture and objectives of clients. On our Program and Project Management team, you'll manage end-to-end scope and schedule, cost, quality and assessment that helps clients achieve their desired goals. We tailor solutions for projects of all sizes and levels of complexity.

Why North Highland* Our employee ownership model enables you to grow through your choices and build the firm. We'll provide challenging opportunities to learn, and we'll coach you as you grow personally and professionally. We offer an array of resources and training (both on- and off-the job) to help our people expand their knowledge, sharpen their skills and aim for the next level.

At North Highland, you're not a number. Our firm is large enough to scale up and tackle the most complex challenges, but small enough where we can each quickly make our mark for our clients.

We started as three leaders gathered around a kitchen table. Entrepreneurial spirits are welcome here.

Exciting work you will do:

* You will transform complex technical requirements into simple solutions that will impact teams on a global scale.

* You will support application developers and data analysts in enhancing value, producing quality data, and integrating cloud tools & platforms in support of our client's digital transformation.

* You will work on the Performance Management team.

* You will work analysts, engineers, and AWS to deliver quality data, optimize costs, and automate processes.

* You will regularly partner with cloud cost containment analysts and application development squads, while also supporting the data & metadata needed to produce data driven decision making for our client's leadership.

What you will need:

* BS degree in Computer Science or related technical field or equivalent practical experience.

* A DevOps mindset.

* Extensive knowledge of AWS public cloud infrastructure; Azure and Google Cloud is a plus.

* Deep understanding of core public & private cloud billing, cost management, and data visualization tools (e.g. CloudHealth, Cloudability, BigQuery, AWS Cost Explorer, Kubecost, SparkLens, VRealize).

* Solid understanding of cloud billing and metering and the impact of usage patterns on total cost of ownership (TCO).

* Proficiency in developing repeatable and efficient automation to codify and simplify end-to-end processes and methods in public and private cloud landscapes.

* Proficiency in using & integrating application programming interfaces (APIs).

* A passion for problem solving and customer service.

* Experience building a cloud financial management roadmap.

* Senior experience scripting using Python, as well as Perl, PowerShell, JavaScript, or similar scripting languages.

* A passion for automating everything, from leveraging open source tools to delivering machine learning based forecasts, self-service budgets, and real time Kubernetes spend visibility and much more.

* Experience with Application Performance Management tools (e.g. SignalFX, NewRelic, DataDog) preferred.

* Experience providing chargeback, showback, budgeting and forecasting as core capabilities of cloud financial management.

* Experience creating advanced product level visibility that will help drive better business decisions and cost accountability.

* A developmental mindset with the ability to discern patterns, drive efficiencies, and lower total cost of ownership for technology processes and solutions.

* Self-starter with a desire to exceed customer expectations.

* Above average oral and written communication skills.
