Role Overview

We are looking for a Senior Solution Consultant to join our highly specialized European Supply Chain Pre‑sales community. You will act as the technical and domain expert on high‑stakes, high‑impact enterprise opportunities, specifically focusing on strategic supply chain opportunities.

Reporting directly to the Director, Supply Chain Solution Consulting EMEA, you will demonstrate Anaplan's unique value proposition through customized Proof of Concept (POC) and flawless high‑quality demonstrations.

Targeted Enterprise Engagement: Engage with large, strategic enterprise prospects in France (and support growth in the wider Southern Europe/EMEA region), specifically targeting the manufacturing and industrial sectors to identify complex, broken business planning processes and map them to Anaplan's capabilities.

High‑Value Solution Engineering: Design and build domain‑specific, tailored Proof of Concept (POC) models and demonstrations that illustrate how Anaplan solves complex Supply Chain planning problems (S&OP, production planning, capacity constraints) and links them directly to financial outcomes.

Collaborative Preparation: Work hand‑in‑hand with our local Principal Consultant and the wider European team of 7 Supply Chain experts (UK, Italy, France) to divide, conquer, and perfect high‑stakes demos.

Internal & External Stakeholder Management: Deliver high‑impact presentations and technical discussions with Supply Chain Directors, VP of Supply Chain, and C‑Level executives, while cross‑training and aligning with internal Sales, Product, and the Presales Center of Excellence (COE) teams.

Your Qualifications

Senior Domain Expertise: Several years of successful Pre‑sales / Solution Consulting experience, with a deep specialization in Supply Chain planning (including S&OP, Supply Planning, and Production Planning).

Consultative & Methodical Approach: Ability to take a consultative, value‑driven selling approach by listening to customer needs, combined with a strong desire to "get hands‑on" with model building and thorough demo preparation.

Communication & Presentation Skills: Exceptional communication skills with the ability to confidently present complex technical scenarios to both highly technical teams and C‑suite stakeholders.

Languages: Fluent in French and highly proficient in English as it is our standard for European team collaboration and internal communication.

Master’s degree in Business Administration, Engineering, Supply Chain Management, or equivalent strongly preferable.

Prior hands‑on experience with advanced Supply Chain Planning software.

Experience with Enterprise Performance Management (EPM), Integrated Business Planning (IBP), or multi‑dimensional planning tools.

• Manufacturing Sector Focus: Proven track record of working with manufacturing and industrial accounts, understanding their specific operational realities, terms, and production planning challenges.
• Hands‑on Technical Agility: Strong multi‑dimensional modelling skills and direct experience or comfortable familiarity with mathematical optimization engines/solvers (such as Gurobi, Simplex, or similar).
