## Description

As a Senior Business Intelligence Analyst, you will operate as a strategic partner to finance and engineering leadership, architecting the next generation of cost governance and forecasting models across AWS and GCP. Our billing datasets run to billions of rows a day, so the ability to handle data at scale is key. You need to be equally fluent in finance fundamentals (pricing, cost modeling, forecasting) and in querying and reasoning about massive, granular billing data.

You will bring an agent-first mentality to everything you build: before designing any new process, workflow, or reporting mechanism, you will default to asking "can an AI agent own this end-to-end?" - and design accordingly. You will own the deployment and continuous refinement of agentic AI tools that autonomously monitor spend, flag anomalies, and execute cost-optimization actions at enterprise scale, and you will architect the governance frameworks that let those agents operate safely and independently. This role carries a mentoring and thought-leadership component, guiding junior and mid-level analysts, and representing FinOps in cross-organizational initiatives.
