Role Summary
Splunk is rapidly expanding their presence in the cloud, while optimizing to improve profitability. To do so, we have adopted the FinOps model of monitoring and reporting on cloud usage, and providing guidance for optimization of cloud resources.

In this role, you will contribute at an individual level and will use your solid understanding of the FinOps principles and domains, to implement FinOps at Splunk. As a FinOps practitioner, you will enhance our FinOps capabilities, and will have opportunities to drive FinOps initiatives within the organization. You will work independently with limited guidance, and will have the opportunity to demonstrate multiple contributions each year across all of the FinOps domains. This is a position with broad impact–what you build will be used across all of Splunk Cloud. You need to be able to build robust solutions that are easy to use and provide exponential impact to an organization.
