FinOps Specialist

At Supercell, our cloud infrastructure powers games played by hundreds of millions of monthly players. To keep our cloud operations scalable, efficient and cost-effective, we are looking for a FinOps Specialist to take ownership of our Cloud financials.

You’ll help us understand, optimize, and forecast cloud spend—working at the intersection of engineering, finance, business and cloud vendors. Your insights will drive smarter decision-making, balancing performance, scalability, and cost-efficiency in our cloud environments. If navigating the business and technical realms of the cloud excites you as much as gaming does, this role could be a perfect fit!

As a FinOps Specialist, you’ll take ownership of tracking cloud expenditures, forecasting costs, and identifying opportunities for optimisation. You’ll work with cost data—analyzing it, visualizing it, and turning it into dashboards, reports, tools and insights that support our teams. You’ll collaborate with internal teams to promote cost transparency and cloud efficiency while working directly with cloud providers in everything from regular cadence calls to large contract negotiations. This role offers a chance to make a tangible impact across our business, balancing innovation with fiscal responsibility.

Responsibilities:

• Work closely with with Game, Tech, Finance and Business teams to ensure efficient cloud usage and cost transparency

• Monitor and analyse cloud costs across multiple providers (e.g., AWS, Google Cloud, Tencent Cloud)

• Build dashboards, alerts and tools to help understand and optimize cloud usage for technical and non-technical audiences

• Identify and implement cloud cost optimization strategies, such as utilising commitment-based discounts, rightsizing and removing idle resources

• Participate in managing vendor relationships, negotiating contracts, and collaboration to ensure we’re getting the best value from our cloud providers

• Enhance our cost allocation methods to provide the company and teams a clear view of cloud expenses

• Provide financial forecasting for cloud usage for company and team-level forecasts

• Check and approve invoices, ensuring correct billed amounts and cost allocation

Requirements:

• 3+ years of experience in financial analysis, cloud operations or a comparable role

• Past experience in vendor management and negotiating contracts

• Experience with building dashboards in Business Intelligence tools such as Tableau

• Proficient in querying data with SQL

• Strong analytical and financial modelling skills, with the ability to turn data into actionable insights

• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across cross-functional teams

• A knack for prioritizing tasks in a fast-paced environment

Nice-to-Haves:

• Familiarity with cloud platforms and their diverse pricing models (e.g. AWS, Google Cloud, Tencent Cloud)

• Certification in AWS Cloud Practitioner, Google Cloud Digital Leader or equivalent work experience

• Familiarity with FinOps principles and best practices

• Experience in managing large cloud budgets and driving cost optimization initiatives.

You Are Not Your Job Title
Working with us means you won’t need to focus on chasing titles or climbing ladders. We’ve decided that our internal job titles don’t include prefixes like senior, junior, principal, or director. Instead, we embrace our non-hierarchical culture, allowing us to concentrate on what truly matters: doing what’s best for our players. Recognition isn’t tied to your job title, nor does your title define the impact you can have.
For hiring purposes, we do use industry-standard job titles to help attract talent. When it comes to public-facing spaces like LinkedIn, we trust and encourage everyone to select a title that feels most appropriate for them. Read More
