• Build and modify models within Anaplan directly, including creating new modules, updating calculation logic, and modifying user interface screens and dashboards.
• Perform these activities as a business-side power user, not solely as a requirements gatherer.

• Serve as the first point of escalation for model questions, data discrepancies, and functional issues, diagnosing problems, coordinating resolution with technical teams, and communicating impact and timelines to business stakeholders.
• Define and maintain the reporting framework for the platform, determining the appropriate output views, report structures, and dashboard components needed to support monthly GTN reviews, rolling forecast cycles, and finance reporting requirements, ensuring leadership has the right information in the right format.
• Develop and deliver training programs for the Market Access Analytics team, building materials, running hands‑on sessions, and ensuring analysts and business users can operate confidently and independently within the platform for their respective workstreams.
• Identify opportunities to improve and evolve the platform over time, gathering feedback from business users, surfacing enhancement requests, prioritizing improvements in partnership with Digital and the GTN COE, and managing the pipeline of model changes through appropriate governance.
• Coordinate with the Data Engineering and Digital teams to ensure data feeding into the forecasting platform is accurate, timely, and structured correctly, serving as the business-side voice on data requirements and flagging quality issues that affect model outputs.
