Job Summary
This role is responsible for driving AWS cloud cost optimization and improving cloud margins across CentralSquare’s SaaS product portfolio. Operating within the Finance organization with a strong FinOps orientation, the analyst will be deeply hands-on – identifying, tracking, and executing cost reduction initiatives in partnership with Cloud and Development teams. The ideal candidate brings a finance foundation combined with genuine technical aptitude: comfort navigating AWS billing data, working with large datasets, and engaging directly with engineering teams to translate cost drivers into actionable savings. This person will serve as a key contributor to cloud margin reporting, savings tracking, and the cultural shift toward cost-aware development practices across the organization.

Job Duties Include:
• Own and manage the AWS cloud cost savings tracker, monitoring initiative progress against budget targets across Cloud Team and Development-Dependent workstreams.
• Analyze AWS Cost and Usage Reports (CUR) and billing data to identify optimization opportunities.
• Build and maintain cloud margin reporting by product line, partnering with Accounting and Engineering to ensure AWS cost allocations are accurate and tied to revenue-generating services.
• Partner with development teams to build cost awareness into the engineering culture – translating how code and architecture decisions (instance sizing, data transfer patterns, storage tiers, etc.) drive AWS spend.
• Evaluate and manage AWS commitment instruments (Reserved Instances, Savings Plans) – monitoring coverage, utilization, and identifying stranded or expiring commitments as the environment evolves.
• Design and maintain dashboards and other data visualizations that surface cloud cost trends, savings performance, and margin data to finance and executive stakeholders.
• Respond to ad-hoc requests for cloud cost analysis and reporting; build reusable queries and models that reduce manual effort over time.
• Key contributor on cross-functional and companywide financial analysis initiatives.
