  • Vendor & Stakeholder Management

  • Manage relationships with cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP) and monitoring tool vendors.
  • Provide operational metrics and status updates to senior leadership.
  • Collaborate with finance to align cloud cost forecasts and budget planning.
  • Required Qualifications

    Education & Experience

  • Understanding of cloud security best practices and compliance frameworks.
  • Soft Skills

  • Proven ability to lead and inspire teams in a fast-paced R&D environment.
  • Strong problem-solving, decision-making, and communication skills.
