Summary

We are seeking an experienced Manager of Cloud Governance to lead a team of cloud engineers responsible for governing, securing, and optimizing our multi‑cloud, multi‑tenant environment.

This role combines people management with hands‑on technical leadership across multiple Microsoft Entra tenants, our AWS Organization, cloud policy enforcement, cost optimization, and vendor relationships.

The ideal candidate will own day‑to‑day team operations, backlog execution, and cross‑functional coordination, enabling the Director to focus on strategy and stakeholder engagement.

• What You’ll Do
• Directly manage a small team of cloud engineers; handle hiring, coaching, performance reviews, career development, and administrative tasks (time‑off, expense approvals).
• Facilitate team stand‑ups, planning, and backlog refinement; break down Director‑defined initiatives into well‑scoped, actionable work items with the team.
• Produce weekly status reports for leadership covering progress, blockers, and upcoming priorities.
• Serve as primary point of contact for cloud governance requests, escalations, and issues from Engineering and other departments; collect requirements and feedback when implementing new systems, guardrails, or CSP configurations; communicate policy changes and best practices to development teams.
• Develop, implement, and enforce cloud governance frameworks and policies across Azure, AWS, and Saa S platforms to meet regulatory and industry requirements.
• Define and manage RBAC, tagging, and naming standards across cloud service providers.
• Create and enforce policies using Ia C and policy‑as‑code tooling (e. g., Azure Policy, AWS SCPs, Cloud Custodian, Terraform); design break‑glass access and JIT privilege elevation workflows.
• Oversee multiple Microsoft Entra tenants used by Engineering and other departments, including cross‑tenant synchronization, identity lifecycle management (provisioning, deprovisioning, attribute‑based scoping), and SAML/OIDC authentication for Saa S applications and CSPs.
• Oversee hardware security key (Yubi Key) lifecycle management—procurement, provisioning, and phishing‑resistant authentication policies—for the Fed RAMP environment.
• Conduct security assessments and audits; perform root cause analysis on governance‑related incidents; support compliance initiatives in regulated and compliance‑heavy environments, including audit readiness and evidence collection.
• Manage vendor relationships for cloud service providers and Saa S platforms within a shared responsibility model—incl. billing, contract negotiation, authentication configuration, and delegation to end users.
• Monitor cloud usage and spending; identify and implement cost optimization strategies; evaluate licensing models and SKU options; provide regular reports on cloud costs and usage trends to senior leadership and Finance.
• Contribute hands‑on work as needed—writing Terraform, Power Shell, or Python for policy enforcement, automation, and infrastructure management; review infrastructure‑as‑code pull requests from the team; develop CI/CD pipelines for cloud policy and governance tooling deployment.
• What You’ll Bring
• 7+ years in cloud engineering, operations, or governance with a strong focus on Azure and AWS.
• 3+ years of direct people management experience leading technical teams.
• Expert‑level Microsoft Entra knowledge across Entra ID, Conditional Access, Identity Protection, Privileged Identity Management (PIM), Identity Governance, and multi‑tenant / cross‑tenant architectures.
• Strong IAM fundamentals: SAML, OIDC, RBAC, and JIT privilege elevation.
• Proficiency with infrastructure‑as‑code (Terraform preferred) and scripting (Power Shell, Python, Bash).
• Experience with cloud policy frameworks (Azure Policy, AWS SCPs, Cloud Custodian) and tagging/naming governance.
• Experience with cloud cost optimization and financial reporting, plus vendor management for CSPs and Saa S (contracts, billing).
• Familiarity with Agile methodologies and experience with Azure Dev Ops; excellent written and verbal communication with the ability to translate complex technical concepts for non‑technical stakeholders.
• We’d Love to See
• Experience in regulated or compliance‑heavy environments (e. g., Fed RAMP, SOC 2, NIST 800‑53).
• Experience with Microsoft Government Cloud (GCC High, Azure Government).
• Experience with AWS Organizations, consolidated billing, and multi‑account governance.
• Familiarity with Zero Trust security frameworks and Azure Virtual Desktop or Windows 365 deployments.
• Familiarity with Jira Service Management (JSM) for ticketing and request workflows.
• Relevant certifications such as Microsoft Certified: Identity and Access Administrator, Azure Solutions Architect Expert, or AWS Certified Solutions Architect.
• Experience with KQL, Azure Resource Graph, or similar query and reporting tools.

This includes, but is not limited to: F1‑OPT, F1‑CPT, H‑1B, TN, L‑1, J1, etc.
