VP, Head of Cloud Solutions

JOB SUMMARY:

We are seeking a senior technology leader to own CFSB's cloud strategy, platform engineering, and cloud operating model. Reporting to the [CIO/CTO], this role owns the multi-year cloud roadmap and leads the team that builds and runs the bank's cloud platform — the landing zones, automation, networking, and controls that every other technology team builds on.

This is a hands‑on leadership role in a regulated environment. You should be equally comfortable presenting a cloud investment case to executive leadership, reviewing an infrastructure-as-code pull request with an engineer, and explaining to an examiner how cloud controls are designed and evidenced. We expect recommendations and tradeoffs, not problems to be assigned.

The role manages five to eight cloud engineers and partners closely with Information Security, Risk, Compliance, Enterprise Architecture, and the product squads. You are the accountable technology owner for how security and regulatory requirements are implemented and evidenced in the cloud. The team participates in a shared on‑call rotation and provides after‑hours support to the business; this role serves as its senior escalation point.

Applicants must be permanently authorized to work for ANY employer in the U.S. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of any temporary employment visa (e.g. OPT-STEM, H-1B, CPT, etc.) now or in the future.

This role is hybrid (2x per week) for those located in the NYC Metro Area, or fully‑remote in 23 select states*

• Own and maintain the multi-year cloud strategy and migration roadmap, sequenced against business priorities, risk appetite, and budget cycles.
• Translate strategy into executive‑ready business cases and committee‑level materials, and secure funding and alignment for cloud investments.
• Set cloud target architecture and standards with Enterprise Architecture — reference patterns, approved services, and guardrails for what teams may build.
• Define and report program metrics — migration progress, platform reliability, control coverage, and unit cost trends — and advise leaders on build‑versus‑buy and cloud‑versus‑on‑premises decisions.

• Lead the design, build, and operation of the cloud platform: multi‑account landing zones, identity and access, network architecture and hybrid connectivity, observability, backup, and resilience.
• Establish infrastructure‑as‑code and pipeline‑based delivery as the default provisioning mechanism, and eliminate manual, undocumented change.
• Own the cloud CI/CD, container, and Dev Ops tooling that squads consume, and enforce engineering standards for code review, environment promotion, change management, and documentation.
• Ensure environments meet availability and recovery objectives; lead resilience testing and serve as senior escalation point for major incidents through to permanent corrective action.

• Own the implementation and evidencing of cloud technical controls that satisfy policies and standards set by Information Security, Risk, and Compliance, and elevate gaps where cloud reality and policy diverge.
• Serve as the cloud subject matter expert in internal audit, external audit, and regulatory examinations, including FFIEC and GLBA obligations, and produce control evidence and remediation plans.
• Embed guardrails as code — configuration baselines, encryption and key management, privileged access controls, and continuous compliance monitoring — and remediate findings and drift to agreed timelines.
• Contribute cloud expertise to risk assessments, third‑party technology reviews, and change and exception review boards; provide input to cloud policies as a…
