About our Team

LexisNexis Legal & Professional, which serves customers in more than 150 countries with 11,800 employees worldwide, is part of RELX (http://www.relx.com), a global provider of information-based analytics and decision tools for professional and business customers. Our company has been a long-time leader in deploying AI and advanced technologies to the legal market to improve productivity and transform the overall business and practice of law, deploying ethical and powerful generative AI solutions with a flexible, multi-model approach that prioritizes using the best model from today’s top model creators for each individual legal use case. The company employs over 2,000 technologists, data scientists, and experts to develop, test, and validate solutions in line with RELX Responsible AI Principles (https://stories.relx.com/responsible-ai-principles/index.html).

About the Role

As a Senior FinOps Analyst, you will play a key role in shaping how AI costs are measured, analyzed, and optimized across the organization. You will own the data, analytics, and reporting that help teams understand the financial impact of AI adoption, while building scalable solutions that support effective decision-making and sustainable growth. This role offers an opportunity to partner closely with engineering, product, and finance stakeholders to improve visibility, forecasting, and cost efficiency.

Our operating model is built around enablement rather than gatekeeping. Product and engineering teams evaluate models and select the options that best meet their needs. Your role is to make the cost implications of those choices visible early, clearly, and credibly so teams can make informed decisions. The goal is to influence through trusted data and practical insight, not through unnecessary approval processes.

Responsibilities

  • Own AI cost modeling and attribution across tokens, models, products, teams, and shared infrastructure.
  • Define unit-cost metrics that distinguish usage growth from efficiency changes.
  • Maintain accurate, explainable cost data with clear lineage and defensible methodology.
  • Build Python pipelines that normalize telemetry, provider API data, platform usage, and cloud billing into trusted datasets.
  • Automate recurring reporting, month-end close support, and anomaly detection.
  • Develop practical BI dashboards for engineering teams and credible reporting for Finance stakeholders.
  • Analyze cost movements and explain drivers, expected impacts, and forward-looking implications.
  • Identify, quantify, and track optimization opportunities across model selection, prompt efficiency, caching, batching, retrieval, commitments, and tooling overlap.

Requirements

  • Experience in FinOps, cloud cost management, technology finance, data analytics, or a related analytical role.
  • Strong analytical judgment, attention to detail, and ability to explain methodology, assumptions, and results.
  • Working knowledge of AI inference cost drivers, including tokens, context length, model tier, caching, retrieval patterns, and agentic workload behavior.
  • Python experience building APIs, data pipelines, normalized datasets, and repeatable automation.
  • Strong SQL skills and dashboard-building experience in Power BI or Tableau for technical and finance audiences.
  • Comfort using AI-assisted development tools such as Codex or Claude to accelerate analysis, automation, documentation, or pipeline work.
  • Automation-first mindset focused on scalable reporting and reduced manual effort.
  • Clear written communication that turns complex cost data into concise, actionable narratives.
