Working at Freudenberg: We will wow your world! Responsibilities: Consolidate and validate cloud and AI cost, usage, contract, license, and operational data, ensuring reliable and auditable data for reporting, forecasting, allocation, and decision-making. Define and maintain relevant measurement dimensions, tagging and metadata standards, and allocation models across business units, products, applications, projects, environments, and accountable owners. Analyze cost drivers and unit economics across cloud services and AI workloads, including compute, storage, data transfer, licenses, tokens, model usage, GPU/CPU consumption, transactions, and other relevant consumption metrics. Compare actual spend against budgets, forecasts, business cases, TCO, commitments, and agreed targets, identifying cost trends, risks, and opportunities for optimization. Conduct regular cost, usage, and forecast reviews with technology and business stakeholders; monitor budgets, thresholds, quotas, and commitments, and proactively identify and escalate deviations. Identify anomalies, underutilized or overprovisioned resources, inefficient service or model choices, and unused contractual benefits; coordinate optimization initiatives and track expected and realized savings. Provide transparent cost, usage, and value insights to support decisions on scaling, continuing, or stopping AI initiatives and to establish sustainable cost models for new cloud and AI solutions. Develop and maintain policies, standards, and guardrails covering tagging, budgets, approved services and AI models, regions, quotas, commitments, and approval processes. Create dashboards, recurring reports, and decision materials for IT, Finance, Controlling, Procurement, and Management, translating complex cost and usage data into actionable insights. Automate recurring data collection, reporting, alerts, allocation, and optimization tracking, while coordinating key FinOps activities such as forecasting, budgeting, month-end processes, anomaly reviews, and optimization planning. Qualifications: University degree in Business Informatics, Computer Science, Business Administration, Finance/Controlling, or a comparable field; relevant vocational training combined with practical experience is also welcome. 1–4 years of relevant experience in FinOps, cloud cost management, IT controlling, data analytics, cloud operations, or a comparable environment. Good understanding of cloud and AI consumption-based cost models, with practical exposure to areas such as cost allocation, tagging, budgeting, forecasting, showback/chargeback, unit economics, TCO, reporting, or anomaly analysis. Initial hands-on experience with cloud cost management, BI/reporting, or data analytics tools. Experience with Power BI, SQL, APIs, or scripting is an advantage. Knowledge of AI-specific cost drivers and consumption metrics, such as tokens, model calls, GPU usage, agents, and transactions, as well as an interest in developing further FinOps expertise. Familiarity with FinOps principles or certification is a plus. Strong analytical and structured mindset, numerical confidence, attention to detail, and the ability to translate cost and usage data into clear insights, recommendations, and actionable follow-up. Collaborative and proactive working style, with ownership, reliability, and a pragmatic, solution-oriented approach. Ability to communicate effectively with technical and commercial stakeholders in an international environment. Very good level of English, additional German language skills would be an advantage. ‎ ‎ The Freudenberg Group is an equal opportunity employer that is committed to diversity and inclusion.
