AI FinOps & Platform Cost Analyst [F/M/X]
Mantu
Remoto
As part of Mantu’s continued growth and digital transformation, we are looking for an AI FinOps & Platform Cost Analyst to join our IT team, internally, not as a consultant.
Reporting to the Data & AI Manager, you will help establish and operate Mantu’s AI FinOps capability. Your role will sit at the intersection of IT operations, data analytics, AI platform management, and financial governance.
You will provide visibility into AI and LLM consumption, build the data foundations and dashboards required to monitor usage and costs, and help the organisation optimise the performance, scalability, and commercial value of its AI platforms.
You will work closely with the Data & AI, IT, Finance, Procurement, Security, and business teams to ensure that AI services are used efficiently, sustainably, and in line with Mantu’s technical and commercial objectives.
Your missions
- Build dashboard-level visibility into AI platform spend (e.g., Dust, Claude), identifying which agents and use cases drive costs
- Develop predictive consumption models that go beyond linear extrapolation, enabling accurate forecasting of AI/LLM costs
- Report monthly on cost, consumption trends, and risk exposure to relevant stakeholders
- Identify and shift workloads off premium models where not justified, optimizing spend by aligning tasks with appropriate model tiers
- Track model pricing evolution and reassess cost/quality tradeoffs as new models are released
- Monitor consumption against contracted thresholds and flag commercial risks proactively
- Support contract negotiation and renewal discussions with AI platform vendors in collaboration with Procurement and the AI team
- Build and continuously refine Mantu’s AI cost model, incorporating external advisory input and documenting methodology for future client-facing offers[doc1]
You have a strong interest in the intersection of IT, data, artificial intelligence, cloud platforms, and cost optimisation. You are comfortable working with technical teams and translating complex usage data into clear recommendations for business and financial stakeholders.
- Experience in IT, data analytics, cloud operations, platform engineering, FinOps, or AI operations.
- Experience with modeling, Python or SQL for data extraction, and generative AI tools
- Academic background: Master’s degree in management, engineering, or a related field
- English fluent. French is a plus.
- Experience with cloud or SaaS FinOps practices
- Experience building and maintaining cost dashboards or models
- Familiarity with AI/LLM commercial models, including token or credit-based pricing, tiered contracts, and overage rates
- You demonstrate the ability to build and defend cost/value models to non-technical stakeholders
- You demonstrate comfort working with high-variance, unpredictable cost data and understanding of budget and vendor contracts
- You demonstrate strong analytical and communication skills, and the ability to translate technical usage into actionable cost insights
Gross Annual Salary (GAS): EUR 22,000 - EUR 40,000 (basic salary only, the variable component will be detailed in the offer)
