QBE is seeking a highly experienced Senior IBM Apptio & Cloudability Administrator to support U.S. Marine Corps Community Services' Operation Stormbreaker program.

This individual will serve in the combined roles of Technology Business Management Administrator (TBMA) and Cloudability Administrator and will become the primary hands-on administrator and subject matter expert for the customer's IBM Apptio Costing, Planning and Cloudability SaaS environment.

This is a customer-facing position embedded with the Operation Stormbreaker team. The selected individual will work closely with MCCS, G2IT, Raven Solutions and IBM Professional Services throughout an approximately 11-month implementation and will subsequently assume long-term responsibility for administration, operation and continuous improvement of the environment.

Operation Stormbreaker is a dynamic and growing Federal technology program. As additional mission customers, applications, cloud workloads and services are onboarded to Stormbreaker, the scope and importance of the TBM and FinOps function are expected to grow substantially. This position is intended to evolve with the program and offers the opportunity to become Stormbreaker's long-term technical and functional lead for Technology Business Management, IT financial management and FinOps.
