Senior DevSecOps / Cloud Governance Consultant

Who We Are
At Trility Consulting ®, we’ve built a strong, remote-work culture where people thrive, grow, and support each other – earning us Great Place to Work® Certification. Headquartered in Central Iowa, we embrace flexible schedules and collaboration across geographically distributed teams serving clients from all corners of the United States and globally.
We seek team members with the grit necessary to forge paths where none previously existed, to get back up when circumstances knock them down, to adapt to the changing needs of the client even when it is uncomfortable, and to deliver on our commitments. Candidates must respect and value people, recognize that over-communication is barely good enough, thrive on solving complex problems, have a passion for building teams, and know that delivering what a client actually values is more important than their own predispositions. They understand value proposition, love delivering value, and take pride in learning the expansive and ever-changing business of clients. Candidates are self-motivated and relentlessly working to become more today than they were yesterday.

Trility Consulting is seeking a Senior DevSecOps/Cloud Governance Consultant to lead an eight-week engagement focused on establishing practical cloud governance, financial management, and policy standards within a large-scale Azure environment.

This is a hands-on consulting engagement. You'll work directly with the client's cloud infrastructure and IT finance teams to design and implement governance controls that improve cost visibility, resource accountability, policy compliance, and long-term cloud management.

You'll be responsible for turning strategy into working solutions—designing Azure management group structures, developing Azure Policy definitions and initiatives, establishing tagging standards, implementing governance as code with Terraform and GitHub Actions, and identifying actionable opportunities to improve cloud efficiency and financial accountability.

This role requires someone who can comfortably move between technical implementation and executive-level conversations. You'll facilitate discussions with infrastructure, finance, architecture, and data stakeholders; make practical recommendations; document decisions; and coach the client's cloud administrators throughout the engagement.

Trility follows a Coach-and-Contribute model. You'll build alongside the client's team rather than simply delivering recommendations and walking away. The goal is to leave the client with working solutions, clear documentation, reusable patterns, and the knowledge required to independently operate and extend the environment.

This engagement is expected to last approximately eight weeks, with the potential for follow-on work as the client continues its cloud governance and FinOps transformation.

This is a remote 1099 consulting engagement.
What You Will Do

- Assess existing Azure cloud governance, financial management, resource organization, tagging, and policy practices to identify gaps, risks, and opportunities for improvement.

- Facilitate cross-functional discussions to define practical cloud tagging standards, including required tags, allowed values, ownership, inheritance, and exception handling.

- Design and implement an Azure management group hierarchy that supports consistent governance across subscriptions and environments.

- Design, author, and implement Azure Policy definitions and initiatives to enforce governance, security, compliance, and cost-management standards.

- Establish governance as code using Terraform and GitHub Actions, including building deployment workflows and promotion processes from the ground up.

- Implement policies using appropriate effects and rollout strategies, including audit, deny, and exemption approaches.

- Develop compliance reporting and remediation processes that identify non-compliant resources and provide actionable ownership and remediation paths.
