FinOps Analyst

Position: FinOps Analyst 2
** About the Role
** WEX is expanding its Fin Ops practice, and we're looking for a Fin Ops Analyst to help bring financial accountability and transparency to our cloud spend. Fin Ops at WEX is both a practice and a cultural shift in the way we monitor the cloud from a financial perspective — it sits at the intersection of engineering, finance, and business  this role, you'll be the connective tissue between the engineers who build in the cloud and the finance partners who fund it.

You'll turn raw billing and usage data into clear, actionable insight that helps teams make better decisions about what they deploy, how they size it, and what it costs the business.

A full command of cloud architecture is not a prerequisite — though it's strongly encouraged and you'll grow into it here. What matters most is that you can interpret invoices and usage data, spot the story inside a spreadsheet, and communicate it credibly to both technical and non-technical audiences.  ##
** How you'll make an impact
** The core component of this role is
** preparing financial and usage data for key stakeholders across the organization via iterative and ad-hoc delivery.
** This is done primarily through our cloud cost optimization and resource management platform,
** Fin Opsly** (accessed via MyApps Okta), alongside internal solutions built in Google Sheets and Excel.

Day-to-day responsibilities include:
* ** Cost reporting & analysis** — Prepare recurring monthly reports and slide decks summarizing cloud spend, trends, and variance against plan for engineering, finance, and executive stakeholders.
* ** Ad-hoc cost analysis** — Respond to targeted questions from application owners, architects, and finance partners about specific workloads, accounts, services, or business units.
* ** Optimization recommendations** — Surface and package optimization opportunities for engineering teams, including auto-generated recommendations from Fin Opsly as well as your own analysis (rightsizing, idle resource cleanup, storage tiering, license rationalization).
* ** Commitment & reservation management** — Support the reservation of resources (Reserved Instances, Savings Plans, committed-use discounts) to cover consistent production workloads, and track realized savings and coverage/utilization rates.
* ** Anomaly detection & tracking** — Monitor for anomalous spend, investigate root cause, route findings to the responsible owner, and track issues through to resolution.
* ** Budget maintenance** — Update and maintain cloud budgets, forecasts, and cost allocation structures as the environment and organizational mapping evolve.
* ** Tooling administration** — Administer the Fin Opsly platform, including user access, business mappings, dimensions, views, dashboards, and alert configuration.
* ** Stakeholder engagement** — Attend and facilitate recurring meetings with account administrators and financial owners to review spend, socialize recommendations, and drive accountability for all of the above.
* ** Tagging & allocation hygiene** — Partner with engineering teams to improve tagging compliance and cost allocation accuracy, including for shared services and SaaS spend.  ##
** Experience you'll bring*
* * 2+ years of experience in a financial analysis, business analysis, data analysis, or cloud operations role
* Advanced proficiency with
** Google Sheets and/or Microsoft Excel** — pivot tables, lookups, conditional logic, and building reusable templates and models.
* Demonstrated ability to work with large, messy datasets and translate them into clear summaries and recommendations.
* Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present findings to both engineering teams and finance/business leaders.
* Comfort operating…
