remote, remoteFor one of our clients we are looking for a Cloud Governance Consultant
Project description:
Uniper has moved major parts of it’s application landscape into the Azure cloud, which is managed and operated by an internal technical team.
As infrastructure costs are managed centrally, it is key to provide transparent reporting to the consuming application teams so that they have a clear view on the consumed cloud services.
In addition, it needs to be ensured that the cloud is operated in a compliant way. Internal controls have been defined which need to be executed by the technical teams within defined service processes.

The CloudWorks hub (an internal Sharepoint site) is a knowledge base which acts as a central point of information to the application teams. Key is to keep the content up to date at all times.
