About Payoneer
Founded in 2005, Payoneer is the global financial platform that removes friction from doing business across borders, with a mission to connect the world's underserved businesses to a rising global economy. We're a community with over 2,500 colleagues all over the world, working to serve customers, and partners in over 190 countries and territories.
By taking the complexity out of the financial workflows-including everything from global payments and compliance to multi-currency and workforce management, to providing working capital and business intelligence-we give businesses the tools they need to work efficiently worldwide and grow with confidence.
We are looking for an AI & Cloud FinOps Specialist to join our FinOps team and help drive cost efficiency, governance, and visibility across both cloud and AI environments.
This role combines traditional FinOps (Cloud and SaaS) with emerging AI cost management practices. The ideal candidate comes from a FinOps or cloud cost management background, with strong technical orientation and the ability to work closely with engineering teams.
Depending on experience and strengths, the role will focus on either:
- building and owning AI FinOps capabilities
OR - driving execution across cloud FinOps and vendor management
This is a high-impact role with both execution and ownership opportunities, working across engineering, finance, and procurement.
What you'll do:
- Monitor, analyze, and optimize cloud, SaaS, and AI-related spend (AWS / GCP / Azure, vendors, LLMs)
- Create visibility into usage, cost drivers, and efficiency metrics
- Identify and drive optimization of inefficiencies (e.g., underutilization, over-provisioning, inefficient usage, excess AI consumption)
- Work closely with engineering, DevOps, and data teams to translate usage into cost drivers and influence cost-aware architecture decisions
- Build or support dashboards, tools, and automation for cost visibility and monitoring
- Contribute to AI FinOps (governance, automation, agents) and/or Cloud/Vendor FinOps (vendor management, budgeting, forecasting)
Who you are:
- 2+ years of experience in FinOps, cloud cost management, or SaaS cost governance
- Hands-on experience working with cloud billing data and cost analysis
- Practical experience with pricing models, contracts, and billing structures (cloud, SaaS, or AI); experience with AI tools and token-based pricing is an advantage
- Strong ability to work with engineering and technical stakeholder
- Ability to understand and challenge usage patterns and technical decisions
- Solid understanding of:
- cloud environments (AWS / GCP / Azure)
- resource usage and billing models
- APIs and system usage patterns
- how technical decisions impact cost
- Strong analytical skills with the ability to translate data into clear insights and actions
- Demonstrated ownership mindset and ability to drive initiatives end-to-end
Advantage:
- Familiarity with AI tools, LLMs, or token-based pricing models
- Experience with FinOps tools or SaaS management platforms
- Experience working in cross-functional environments (engineering + finance + procurement)
- Experience building processes, dashboards, or automation tools
