At Anaplan, we are redefining how businesses plan and make decisions through our cutting-edge Connected Planning platform, powered by our unique deterministic calculation engine and advanced AI capabilities. In this role, you will be at the forefront of this transformation.
You will bring a proven track record of leading complex, high-stakes implementations—ideally within Supply Chain, Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A), or Workforce Planning. Thriving at the intersection of delivery and strategic advisory, you will scope, negotiate, manage escalations, and serve as an indispensable partner to both customer and internal stakeholders. From C-level executives to daily end-users, you will excel at influencing decisions and cementing your status as a trusted advisor.
This is a hands-on leadership position tailor-made for a delivery expert who can seamlessly orchestrate multiple enterprise programs, ensure strict adherence to budget and scope, and expertly pivot to recover projects that have drifted off track.
