Cohesity is seeking a driven and detail-oriented Sr. Analyst to join our Product Finance & Operations team. This is a hybrid role that blends finance, operations, and cross-functional support — sitting at the intersection of cloud economics, royalty management, internal process excellence, and stakeholder enablement. Reporting to the Director of Product Finance & Operations and working alongside the Manager of Cloud FinOps, this individual contributor will serve as a critical point of triage and execution for the team, helping to operationalize workflows, document processes, and ensure incoming requests are resolved efficiently and accurately. 

This is not a traditional FP&A role. The ideal candidate brings operational rigor, strong organizational instincts, and analytical fluency — and is equally comfortable operating in a fast-paced, request-driven environment, managing competing priorities with precision, engaging multiple stakeholders and building durable documentation along the way. 

We are a team that embraces AI as a core part of how we work — and we expect this person to bring that same mindset. 

HOW YOU’LL SPEND YOUR TIME HERE: 

Operations, Triage & Process Management 

• Maintain clear ownership and status tracking of open items across the team, ensuring no requests fall through the cracks and stakeholders are kept informed. 

• Identify patterns in recurring requests and proactively work with the team to develop scalable solutions or self-service tools. 

• Collaborate with internal stakeholders — including Engineering, IT, Finance, and Deal Management — to gather inputs and drive timely outcomes. 

• Own the documentation of various FinOps processes, procedures, and playbooks — building a knowledge base that scales the team’s effectiveness. 

• Partner with the team to identify undocumented workflows and translate them into clear, replicable standard operating procedures. 

• Continuously improve and maintain existing documentation as processes evolve, ensuring accuracy and accessibility across the team. 

• Support the development and upkeep of internal tools, trackers, and dashboards that improve operational visibility and efficiency. 

• Apply structured project management principles to manage deliverables, timelines, and cross-functional dependencies — keeping work organized, visible, and on track. 

Royalty Management 

This role plays an active part in managing the team’s internal and embedded software royalty obligations — spanning forecasting, procurement, and ongoing tracking. 

• Support the forecasting of internal and embedded software royalty obligations, working with Finance and Engineering stakeholders to ensure
