About the Role

The manager for CEM (Capacity Execution Management) TPMs will lead initiatives related to cloud resource demand forecasting, capacity supply management, strategic cost optimization, and capacity safety initiatives. You will work closely with product & platform engineering, product management, strategic finance, and efficiency teams to operationalize cloud resource allocation, streamline internal processes, and ensure cost-effective and scalable infrastructure. This role will require a deep understanding of capacity demand and supply management, resource forecasting, cloud platforms, along with hands-on experience in managing cloud pricing models, optimizing consumption, and driving process improvements across teams. Additionally, having knowledge and experience with capacity provisioning operations will be hugely beneficial.

As a key leader, you will ensure accurate forecasting, drive cost-saving initiatives, and refine internal workflows to enhance collaboration and efficiency in managing cloud infrastructure. You will also serve as a strategic partner to key stakeholders across the organization, ensuring alignment on infrastructure needs, resource planning, and cost management.

Capacity and Resource Demand Planning:

Lead the development and execution of resource demand forecasts for cloud infrastructure across multiple platforms, including OCI and GCP. Partner with platform, product, and infrastructure teams to understand growth trends, business needs, and technology roadmaps to plan for future resource requirements.

Forecasting & Optimization:

Use historical usage data, predictive analytics, and cloud-native tools to forecast future resource utilization across OCI and other cloud environments. Recommend optimizations to balance cloud costs with capacity needs and ensure high performance, availability, and cost-efficiency. Ensure alignment between platform engineering and strategic finance and provide monthly guidance based on a number of inputs for a bottoms up forecast model.

Consumption & Cost Optimization:

Develop and implement cost management strategies to optimize cloud resource consumption and reduce waste. Drive initiatives that leverage cost-saving features, such as OCI’s Reserved Instances, Auto-Scaling, and budgeting tools, to align with organizational financial goals.

Pricing and Cost Management:

Leverage deep knowledge of cloud pricing models across multiple cloud vendors to optimize cloud resource usage. Manage and operationalize resource allocation and consumption to minimize costs, including leveraging discount programs, and adopting pricing optimization strategies in OCI and other platforms (e.g., spot instances, committed use, etc.).

Stakeholder Management & Communication:
