Rackspace is seeking a Cloud Business Consultant to join our Cloud Optimizer team. Cloud Optimizer is a managed service focused on helping customers efficiently orchestrate their cloud resources. The attributes that make the cloud such a powerful source of technological innovation—on-demand provisioning, scalable, and elastic resources, the sheer velocity of newly launched and improved service offerings—also make cloud management a unique and complex challenge. The goal of the Cloud Optimizer team is to help our clients develop into more mature and innovative consumers of the cloud. On a day-to-day basis, you will be helping customers distill large amounts of usage data into meaningful business intelligence. If you have experience as a CSM (Customer Success/Service Manager), TAM (Technical Account Manager), BA (Business Analyst), Financial Analyst, or Technology Consultant and you are looking to extend your skills, then we want to talk to you!
