Job description

At Anaplan, we are a team of innovators focused on optimizing business decision-making through our leading AI‑infused scenario planning and analysis platform so our customers can outpace their competition and the market.

What unites Anaplanners across teams and geographies is our collective commitment to our customers’ success and to our Winning Culture.

Our customers rank among the who’s who in the Fortune 50. Coca‑Cola, LinkedIn, Adobe, LVMH and Bayer are just a few of the 2,400+ global companies who rely on our best‑in‑class platform.

Our Winning Culture is the engine that drives our teams of innovators. We champion diversity of thought and ideas, we behave like leaders regardless of title, we are committed to achieving ambitious goals, and we love celebrating our wins – big and small.

Supported by operating principles of being strategy‑led, values‑based and disciplined in execution, you’ll be inspired, connected, developed and rewarded here. Everything that makes you unique is welcome; join us and let’s build what’s next—together!

We believe in hard work, having fun, and bringing excellence to everything we do. Our product is arguably the most sophisticated in its class, but our product alone does not make heroes of our customers. Our Customer Success team does. A position on our team gives you the opportunity to take the “service” in “software‑as‑a‑service” to a whole new level, and enjoy rapid career growth while you’re at it.

Anaplan is changing the way companies plan and this isn’t Customer Success as usual. We’re looking for a SOLUTION ARCHITECT who delight in the most detail‑oriented and challenging puzzles. This is a fantastic opportunity for a high‑achiever able to interpret complex business challenges into solution designs for clients.

We’re not looking for average. Do you enjoy diving into issues and designing complex solutions? Do you have a passion for data, multi‑dimensional modeling and data integration? If so, this job is for you.

Your Impact

As an architect, you are primarily responsible for the successful delivery of Anaplan planning solutions in strategic accounts. You will:

• Translate existing solutions, spreadsheets, and business problems into sophisticated Anaplan multi‑dimensional models
• Modify existing models as part of a connected solution, optimization, or to incorporate new functionality
• Serve as the architectural SME for large‑scale connected planning solutions
• Provide meaningful feedback and progress updates in a timely manner to the Business Partner and team
• Develop model documentation
• Participate in data integration and migration solutions
• Participate and/or lead UAT testing and deployment

Your Experience

• A 4 year degree in Finance, Accounting or MIS
• 5+ years’ experience implementing Enterprise Performance Management solutions
• Advanced Microsoft Excel / financial modeling skills
• Demonstrated knowledge of a formal system implementation methodology – requirements gathering, design, build/test and deploy (Agile methodology preferable)
• Superb written and oral communication skills
• Proven track record to lead and implement responsibilities simultaneously
• Penchant for service excellence and a collaborative style
• Subject matter expertise in planning and modeling in Supply Chain, Finance or Sales strongly preferred
• Strong understanding of data integration (inbound and outbound)
• Passion for business analytics, modeling and planning
• Excellent problem solving and analytical skills
• Results‑oriented, motivated, self‑starter
• Coaching mentality
• Collegial, open and grounded in integrity
• Desire to work with a truly dynamic and exciting team, with a “roll‑up your sleeves” approach
• Strong desire to excel and be committed to gaining exposure to multiple industries while further developing your career

What We Offer

• A rewarding, progressive career with a company that values diversity, flexibility and understands the need for a good work/life balance.
• Market‑leading salaries combined with generous bonuses, equity comprehensive benefits
• Regular agile meetups, events and hackathons (both attending and hosting!)
• A range of sports, health and wellbeing initiatives
• 3 days of paid leave every year to help support the charity or cause of your choice

Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB)

We believe attracting and retaining the best talent and fostering an inclusive culture strengthens our business. DEIB improves our workforce, enhances trust with our partners and customers, and drives business success. Build your career in a place where diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging aren’t just words on paper – this is what drives our innovation, it’s how we connect, and it contributes to what makes us a market leader.
