- Coach FP&A users and builders to own more of their analysis, scenarios, and model development.
- Integrate trusted enterprise data and predictive outputs into Anaplan, partnering with data and analytics engineers.
- Advance continuously refreshed, driver-based forecasting with clear reconciliation, review, and override controls.
- Provide technical leadership to builders and implementation partners, owning solution quality, acceptance, and knowledge transfer.
- Required qualifications:
- Extensive hands-on Anaplan experience with a record of architecting and delivering complex connected planning solutions.
- Deep understanding of Corporate FP&A and the judgment to translate Finance priorities into architectural decisions.
- Demonstrated ability to independently lead complex delivery while building directly in a lean team.
- Experience with integrations, model performance, reconciliation, and controlled deployment.
- Experience mentoring builders, developing Finance users, and advising senior stakeholders on design and delivery tradeoffs.
