Position Overview

Autodesk is seeking a Senior Cloud FinOps Analyst to scale FinOps as a service for internal stakeholders.  This role blends FinOps execution with expert analytics, Business Systems Analysis, and product ownership.  You will strengthen FinOps culture through shared accountability and transparency, build self-service capabilities, and use automation to accelerate insight, recommendation, and optimization execution across AWS, Azure, and GCP.

Responsibilities

Build and operate FinOps as a service, product, community, and culture

• Serve as FinOps Product Owner for stakeholder-facing capabilities, including dashboards, reporting, documentation, communications, enablement, automation self-service, and intake workflows

• Maintain a FinOps services portal as the primary self-service entry point, ensuring stakeholders can easily discover available services, understand how to use them, and request help

• Evolve the operating model for FinOps as a service, including backlog and prioritization, roadmap development, KPIs & adoption metrics, and continuous improvement cycles

• Lead a FinOps Champion Network across engineering, finance, and product teams, including cadence, roles, playbooks, office hours, and shared goals that improve stakeholder self-sufficiency

• Drive FinOps cultural practices that improve governance and decision quality, including show back adoption, KPI standardization, tagging expectations, and cost ownership rituals

Deliver advanced analytics, dashboards, and optimization

• Build, maintain, and iterate dashboards and reporting in Apptio Cloudability, Apptio BI, and Turbonomic, ensuring metric definitions, data quality checks, and stakeholder usability

• Develop repeatable analyses for anomalies, variance, and key cost drivers, and translate them into clear actions and decision support for technical and non-technical stakeholders

• Define and maintain reporting standards, including allocation logic, tagging and label requirements, and KPI definitions to improve trust and consistency

• Identify optimization opportunities, and productize them into repeatable, automated motions, including detection, recommendation generation, execution workflows (with approvals where required), and post-change verification

• Track adoption, realized outcomes, and regressions using measured feedback loops, for example, time-to-detect, time-to-act, and recurrence reduction, and continuously improve recommendation quality

• Support cloud service owners in forecasting cloud spend, tracking performance against budget, and producing stakeholder-ready variance narratives that connect spend changes to drivers and actions

• Improve effective cloud rates through commitments, negotiated pricing, and discount levers, and measure realized savings and coverage

• Partner with cloud engineering to implement automation and guardrails that operationalize recommendations and prevent regressions

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration, Information Systems, Information Technology, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience

• 5+ years of experience as a Business Systems Analyst, including requirements elicitation, process mapping, stakeholder facilitation, and shipping stakeholder-facing capabilities

• Strong analytical problem-solving skills, including the ability to structure ambiguous problems, define metrics, validate data, and communicate defensible conclusions

• Hands-on experience building and maintaining dashboards in Apptio Cloudability, Apptio BI, and Turbonomic, or closely comparable experience with a demonstrated ability to ramp quickly

• Working knowledge of cloud billing and pricing constructs, and comfort operating in a multi-cloud environment (AWS, Azure, and GCP)

• Experience partnering with a technical community to drive automation, or the demonstrated ability to define automation requirements, acceptance criteria, and measurable outcomes

• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including technical writing for documentation and executive-ready storytelling

• Demonstrated customer-focused service mindset, including setting clear expectations, and improving FinOps documentation, communications, and self-service capabilities
