Are you a hands‑on builder who enjoys turning business requirements into clear, reliable solutions? Join our Planning & Analysis (P&A) Innovation and Transformation team to develop user‑friendly models on the Anaplan platform. You’ll learn from experienced model builders and architects, contribute to end‑to‑end delivery, and help create scalable solutions that support close, budgeting, and forecasting processes.
Job responsibilities
Support end‑to‑end model delivery: translate user stories into modules, lists, line items, and UX pages, and help configure actions, imports/exports, and basic automations.
Build high‑quality models: follow platform best practices for sparsity, dimensionality, and performance; contribute to versioning, testing, and documentation.
Create user‑centric experiences: help design intuitive UX pages, conduct demos, capture feedback, and iterate to improve usability and adoption.
Partner across teams: collaborate with P&A stakeholders, data product teams, technology, and risk/compliance partners to ensure accurate, controlled data flows.
Assist with integrations: set up and troubleshoot data imports, mappings, and basic transformation logic; elevate complex integration issues to senior team members.
Contribute to Agile delivery: participate in backlog grooming, write/clarify user stories and acceptance criteria, and deliver increments in sprints.
Uphold controls and quality: adhere to firmwide SDLC, access controls, peer reviews, and change management processes; maintain clear model and process documentation.
Continuous learning: actively pursue platform certifications, learn adjacent tools and data concepts, and contribute ideas that improve model reliability and team efficiency.
Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills
0–2 years of experience building or maintaining Enterprise Performance Management systems such as Anaplan, Oracle Planning, Pigment, Workday Adaptive Planning, IBM Planning Analytics, or similar tools
Basic proficiency with core Anaplan concepts (lists, modules, line items, hierarchies, formulas, time versions, UX pages, actions/imports) and an understanding of model performance fundamentals.
Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills with attention to detail; ability to translate functional requirements into structured model designs with guidance.
Clear written and verbal communication skills; ability to prepare simple demos and documentation using MS Office and present to peers and business partners.
Team‑oriented, proactive, and organized; comfortable working in a fast‑paced, results‑driven environment and within Agile teams (Scrum/Kanban).
Preferred qualifications, capabilities, and skills
Exposure to the P&A function (close, budgets, forecasts) and familiarity with financial planning concepts.
Experience with data and analytics tools (e.g., SQL, Python, Alteryx, Databricks) or ETL/scheduling tools; understanding of data quality and reconciliation basics.
Experience with Anaplan integrations (APIs, connectors) at a foundational level, or willingness to learn.
Anaplan Level 2 Model Builder certification; progress toward Level 3 is advantageous.
What you’ll gain
Training and mentorship from experienced Model Builders and Solution Architects.
Opportunities to own discrete model components and UX pages, deepen platform skills, and learn enterprise delivery practices.
A culture grounded in innovation, learning, and continuous improvement—where user impact and strong controls both matter.
If you’re eager to build reliable, user‑friendly Anaplan solutions and grow your skills in a collaborative, agile environment, we’d love to hear from you.
