About This Role

Hearst Technology Services, Inc. (HTS) has an opportunity for a Cloud-focused Sr FinOps Data Analyst with experience analyzing costs and resource consumption of applications hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google (GCP) cloud IaaS and PaaS platforms. Hearst embraces modern, cloud-native approaches for our businesses. This position reports to the Senior FinOps Manager of Hearst’s Cloud Center of Excellence.

The Sr FinOps Data Analyst will be responsible for providing monthly cost analysis and optimization opportunities for a collection of approximately 50 subsidiary business units. The Sr FinOps Data Analyst will assist in maintaining the supporting cloud billing data as well as the front-end cost management toolset. They will analyze a portfolio of Hearst-owned businesses’ cloud consumption data and present insights to these internal customer businesses on a monthly basis.

We are looking for candidates who are highly analytical and detail-oriented, with strong communication skills. Public cloud platform domain knowledge is a must. Critical thinking and problem-solving skills are essential, along with a passion for research and discovery. Experience with high-trust, self-organizing, multi-disciplinary teams and the workflows that support them is important.

What You’ll Do

  • Monitor, analyze, and report on cloud spend across Amazon Web Services, Azure, and Google Cloud environments
  • Lead monthly cloud consumption and cost optimization business review meetings with Hearst-owned businesses
  • Build and maintain dashboards and reports using SQL and cost management platforms (e.g., CloudHealth, Cloudability, Apptio) to track spend trends, budget variance, and forecast accuracy
  • Identify cost optimization opportunities such as rightsizing, reserved instance/savings plan coverage, idle resource elimination, and storage tiering
  • Partner with engineering teams to implement tagging strategies, cost allocation models, and showback/chargeback frameworks
  • Support monthly and quarterly cloud spend reviews with business units and leadership
  • Investigate cost anomalies and spend spikes, root-causing drivers and recommending corrective action
  • Maintain and improve cost allocation logic, including tagging compliance and unallocated spend reduction
  • Collaborate with Finance on budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis for cloud costs
  • Assist in developing and refining FinOps policies, KPIs, and maturity roadmaps
  • Stay current on cloud provider pricing models, discount programs, and new cost management tooling
  • Track and analyze costs associated with AI/ML workloads, including GPU/accelerator utilization, model training and inference spend, and third-party LLM API usage (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure OpenAI)
  • Build visibility into AI cost drivers such as token consumption, request volume, model selection, and compute reservation vs. on-demand usage
  • Partner with data science and engineering teams to right-size GPU instances, evaluate reserved vs. spot capacity for training jobs, and identify underutilized AI infrastructure
  • Support forecasting and budgeting for AI initiatives, accounting for the variable and rapidly scaling nature of AI/ML spend
