If making smart technology decisions is your superpower, we need you.

APS is looking for a Technology & Financial Governance Analyst who can turn complex technology, financial, system, vendor-supplied, and lifecycle information into clear, practical recommendations. You’ll help APS make confident decisions about technology investments, renewals, cost optimization, service sustainability, and long-term value by understanding how APS systems are used, how costs are incurred, where risks or gaps exist, and what options are available.

What you’re passionate about

You love bringing clarity to complexity. You’re curious, analytical, and energized by digging into details — contracts, costs, system usage, integrations, data, licensing, risks, dependencies, vendor product information, and opportunities — then translating what you find into insights people can actually use. You ask thoughtful questions, research options, connect technical and financial evidence, and help teams make informed decisions that support sustainable, effective technology services.

A typical day for the Technology & Financial Governance Analyst

• Review technology contracts, licensing, usage, costs, renewals, system dependencies, and total cost of ownership.


• Use financial, contract, invoice, budget, usage, and system information to spot trends, risks, savings opportunities, and investment impacts.


• Work with APS technical experts, business areas, Finance, Procurement, Security, Privacy, Architecture, Legal, service owners, vendors, and resellers to gather evidence and clarify impacts.


• Research options and compare alternatives to help APS optimize, consolidate, retire, replace, or better align existing technologies.


• Work with vendors and resellers to understand products, licensing, support, renewal terms, cancellation requirements, and commercial options.


• Prepare clear analysis, reporting, dashboards or similar decision-support materials, briefing materials, option assessments, and recommendations.


• Translate technical, financial, vendor-supplied, and business information into plain-language analysis and written recommendations.


• Maintain tools, templates, decision records, and knowledge assets that support consistent, auditable technology financial governance.


• Contribute ideas for responsible automation and AI-supported analysis where they can improve quality, consistency, reliability, transparency, and efficiency.

What you bring

• Strong technical acumen and the ability to understand APS systems, integrations, infrastructure dependencies, data flows, support models, and operational impacts.


• Curiosity to learn how APS systems are used, who relies on them, and how changes may affect cost, risk, service, or operations.


• Financial analysis capability, including comfort working with contracts, invoices, budgets, usage data, licensing, renewals, pricing, and total cost of ownership.


• Ability to research options, compare alternatives, validate assumptions, and assess feasibility.


• Ability to work with vendors and resellers to clarify product, licensing, pricing, renewal, support, terms, and commercial information.


• Ability to connect technical, business, financial, vendor-supplied, and decision‑maker perspectives to support practical decisions.


• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to ask clear questions, document findings, and turn complex details into concise briefing materials, evidence‑based recommendations, and auditable decision records.


• Ability to apply and continue building skills in technology governance, service lifecycles, enterprise dependencies, financial analysis, procurement, contract terms, renewals, and auditable decision‑making.


• Education and/or experience in business administration, technology, finance, data analytics, public administration, or a related field; equivalent experience may be considered.


• Related training or certification would be an asset.
