You will run the FinOps operating rhythm across multi-cloud and on-prem platforms: build unit economics (per user, endpoint, vCPU-hour, GB-month, ticket), forecast with discipline, align budgets to outcomes, and drive an optimization backlog that steadily lowers total cost of ownership. You’ll connect money to mission by showing how reliability, security, and feature delivery translate into cost and value for the Government. HOW VETERANS HEALTHCARE FINOPS MANAGER WILL MAKE AN IMPACT: You will replace guesswork with facts and move the program from “cost reporting” to “value management.” By establishing a single cost model and shared dashboards, you’ll let executives, engineers, and contracting teams see the same numbers - spend vs. plan, unit cost trends, and the dollar impact of optimization. You will identify waste, right-size capacity, negotiate pricing levers, and coordinate remediation with delivery teams without jeopardizing service levels. Your work improves forecast accuracy, funds modernization through verified savings, and strengthens outcomes-based contracting by tying payments to measurable results. WHAT YOU’LL NEED TO SUCCEED: - Education: Bachelor's Degree. In lieu of a degree, an additional four years of related experience required - 10+ years in cloud/IT financial management, cost optimization, or program finance; at least 3 years leading FinOps in large enterprises or federal programs (VA/DoD/DHS/HHS or Fortune 500). - Proven track record building unit economics and delivering savings while maintaining or improving SLAs/SLOs. - Hands-on experience running monthly/quarterly planning cycles, showback/chargeback, and option-year benchmarking; familiarity with federal acquisition and CLIN structures. - Demonstrated partnership with engineering, security, and operations to implement optimization without service risk. TECHNICAL SKILLS: - FinOps/TBM Tooling: Expert with Apptio/TBM or equivalent, Cloud Service Provider cost portals (AWS CUDOS/Cost Explorer, Azure Cost Management, GCP Billing), and enterprise data platforms (Power BI/Tableau). - Cloud & Platform Literacy: Working knowledge of AWS/Azure/GCP pricing constructs (On-Demand/Reserved/Committed/Spot), storage tiers, data egress, managed services, and container/Kubernetes cost drivers. - Observability & SRE Awareness: Able to relate performance metrics (availability, MTTR, latency, error budgets) to cost drivers; comfortable reading telemetry-based dashboards. - Automation & DataOps: SQL/Excel fluency; experience with cost data pipelines, tag/label governance, and policy-as-code guardrails that enforce tagging and budget limits. - Contract & Pricing Mechanics: Familiar with benchmarks, price refresh, rate cards, and value-based metrics that support Firm-Fixed-Price and managed services. SKILLS & ABILITIES: - Executive Communication: Translates complex spend into clear narratives and “so-what” insights; builds one-page views for non-technical stakeholders. - Outcome Orientation: Designs KPIs that link dollars to mission outcomes (availability, time to restore, security pass rates, customer satisfaction); tracks trend lines and variance drivers. - Influence Without Authority: Aligns engineers, security, and vendors to optimization targets; negotiates trade-offs that protect service quality. - Governance & Discipline: Runs a predictable cadence, monthly cost reviews, quarterly benchmark refresh, and a living optimization backlog with owners, dates, and dollar values. - Change Leadership: Drives adoption of tagging standards, budget controls, and reserved/committed use strategies; coaches teams on cost-aware design patterns. - Ethics & Stewardship: Demonstrates rigor and transparency appropriate for taxpayer funds and audit requirements. - FinOps Certified Practitioner / Professional / Engineer - Apptio Certified Practitioner - Location: Austin, TX – Hybrid Remote with periodic on-site meetings as required by the customer - Security clearance level: Public Trust - Timeline: This is a contingent posting, expected to start in August 2026 PREFERRED CERTIFICATIONS: - FinOps Certified Practitioner / Professional / Engineer - Apptio Certified Practitioner GDIT IS YOUR PLACE: - Full-flex work week to own your priorities at work and at home - 401K with company match - Comprehensive health and wellness packages - Internal mobility team dedicated to helping you build your skills and own your career - Professional growth opportunities including paid education and certifications - Cutting-edge technology you can learn from - Rest and recharge with paid vacation and 10 company-paid holidays The likely salary range for this position is $124,950 - $169,050. This is not, however, a guarantee of compensation or salary. Rather, salary will be set based on experience, geographic location and possibly contractual requirements and could fall outside of this range. Scheduled Weekly Hours: 40 Travel Required: Less than 10% Telecommuting Options: Hybrid Work Location: Any Location / Remote Additional Work Locations: Total Rewards at GDIT: Our benefits package for all US-based employees includes a variety of medical plan options, some with Health Savings Accounts, dental plan options, a vision plan, and a 401(k) plan offering the ability to contribute both pre and post-tax dollars up to the IRS annual limits and receive a company match.
