- Participate in application and solution architecture reviews, documenting current- and target-state architectures, dependencies, and operational ownership.
- Support integration planning between computer-aided engineering tools, product lifecycle management platforms, requirements-management platforms, and data-transfer capabilities.
- Maintain an inventory of cloud license types, stock-keeping units, assigned quantities, available capacity, and forecasted demand.
- Monitor license consumption proactively to initiate procurement requests before capacity limits are reached.
- Reconcile cloud environment charges to subscriptions, applications, environments, and users while preparing recurring cost reports and billing extracts.
- Investigate unexpected usage, cost variances, and consumption trends with internal cloud, billing, and finance teams to maintain current cost forecasts.

Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with regulated government cloud environments or secure hosting infrastructures.
- Hands-on experience managing virtual desktops or cloud-based workstation environments.
- Familiarity with cloud financial management, consumption reporting, chargeback processes, or cost allocation.
