In this senior consulting role, you will:

• Shape target designs in IBM Planning Analytics, defining scalable architecture and technical configurations aligned to business needs.
• Engineer cost allocation engines end‑to‑end, including the creation and optimization of cubes, dimensions, rules, and TurboIntegrator (TI) processes to deliver robust P&L views by entity, business line, and support function.
• Run discovery workshops with stakeholders, documenting requirements and translating them into actionable technical and data models.
• Deliver reporting assets using PAfE (customized and dynamic forms) and maintain/enhance Perspectives reports to improve usability and insight.
• Partner closely with cost management teams throughout the allocation lifecycle, providing expert guidance, validation, and hands‑on support.
• Strengthen application reliability, triaging issues, refining performance, and implementing enhancements based on systematic analysis of the existing TM1 landscape.
• Produce clear technical documentation, standards, and procedures to support consistent configuration, deployment, and ongoing maintenance.
• Support and train end users, elevating adoption, data quality, and self‑service reporting across the business.
• Engage across functions, continuously gathering feedback and iterating TM1 solutions to meet evolving requirements.

What profile will I require?

You’ll thrive in this role if you bring:

• 5+ years of proven experience with IBM Cognos TM1 / Planning Analytics, including:
  • TM1 Perspectives, Planning Analytics Workspace (PAW), PAfE, TM1 Web
  • Rules, TurboIntegrator scripting, and end‑to‑end architecture/design
• Strong financial data modeling skills and comfort working with allocation logic and P&L structures.
• Excellent proficiency in Excel; Power BI exposure is a plus.
• A methodical, detail‑oriented approach with strong organization and teamwork skills.
• Ability to operate autonomously, prioritize effectively, and communicate clearly with technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
• Fluent English; French or German would be advantageous.
• Availability to work remote within European timezone and start immediately.

Why should I take this role?

• Impact at scale: Your work will directly influence how the group understands cost, profitability, and performance across multiple entities and functions.
• Flexibility & autonomy: Enjoy a fully remote freelance engagement with clear outcomes, minimal bureaucracy, and the ability to work efficiently across European hours.
• Modern tooling: Build with market‑leading IBM Planning Analytics capabilities, shaping architecture and models that are core to our financial decision‑making.
• Collaborative environment: Partner with finance, FP&A, and cost teams, contributing both hands‑on solutions and strategic guidance.
