Required

8–10+ years in vendor management, technology procurement, or a closely related role, with most of that time spent on technology and cloud vendors.
Hands-on experience managing a relationship with a major cloud provider (AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure), including reading usage and billing data and recommending commitment or pricing changes.
Strong knowledge of technology products and categories, enough to compare vendors on substance and make a confident recommendation.
A track record of negotiating pricing, terms, and SLAs that produced measurable savings or better terms.
Experience running contracts through legal review, including NDAs, MSAs, and SOWs.
Financial fluency. You've owned or managed vendor budgets, can build a cost model, and know what's realistic to spend.
Strong research and analysis skills, with the judgment to turn findings into a clear recommendation.
Highly organized and proactive. You plan ahead, keep many workstreams moving, and spot problems before they're urgent.
Clear communicator who works well with engineers, finance, legal, and non-technical teams, in person and remotely.
Comfortable working independently in a lean, fast-moving team.

Preferred

Experience at a streaming or media company, or familiarity with video technology such as transcoding, stream acquisition, and CDNs.
An engineering or technical background that helps you find creative ways to lower AWS and CDN costs.
Familiarity with FinOps practices and cloud cost tools (for example, AWS Cost Explorer).
Experience with billing, payments, or BI and analytics platforms.
