• Define and maintain reporting standards, including allocation logic, tagging and label requirements, and KPI definitions to improve trust and consistency

• Identify optimization opportunities, and productize them into repeatable, automated motions, including detection, recommendation generation, execution workflows (with approvals where required), and post-change verification

• Track adoption, realized outcomes, and regressions using measured feedback loops, for example, time-to-detect, time-to-act, and recurrence reduction, and continuously improve recommendation quality

• Support cloud service owners in forecasting cloud spend, tracking performance against budget, and producing stakeholder-ready variance narratives that connect spend changes to drivers and actions

• Improve effective cloud rates through commitments, negotiated pricing, and discount levers, and measure realized savings and coverage

• Partner with cloud engineering to implement automation and guardrails that operationalize recommendations and prevent regressions
