Experience: 10+ Years
Job Description:
Seeking a hands-on Anaplan Modeler who can design, build, and maintain complex Anaplan models across enterprise-wide business functions. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in fast-paced, data-intensive environments, understands business planning workflows, and can translate requirements into scalable Anaplan solutions.
You’ll work under the guidance of an Anaplan Architect, collaborating closely with business stakeholders and cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality models that are accurate, performant, and aligned with enterprise planning goals.
Key Responsibilities
1. Model Design & Build
a. Develop and maintain Anaplan modules, lists, line items, dashboards, and workflows based on business specifications.
b. Apply modular design principles, model hygiene, and efficient calculation logic to support long-term maintainability and scalability.
c. Ensure models are aligned to performance benchmarks, particularly in high-volume data environments (large hierarchies, multiple scenarios, frequent imports/exports).
2. Business Collaboration
a. Work with stakeholders to understand planning processes and translate them into technical specifications.
b. Participate in workshops, sprint planning, UAT sessions, and feedback loops to iterate on models and ensure fit-for-purpose outcomes.
3. Performance & Integrity
a. Execute model optimization techniques such as sparsity analysis, dynamic cell access, and selective imports to enhance model performance.
b. Conduct testing and validation to ensure accuracy, data consistency, and adherence to security rules.
c. Monitor model performance and proactively resolve calculation or data flow issues.
4. Documentation & Support
a. Maintain clear, up-to-date documentation for all models including user guides, logic flows, and technical runbooks.
b. Support model deployments across development, test, and production environments using ALM (Application Lifecycle Management).
c. Assist in training users and resolving post-deployment issues.
Required Skills & Qualifications
• 6 years of hands-on Anaplan model building experience in a professional setting.
• Exposure to enterprise-level implementations with 100+ users, multiple connected models, and diverse planning use cases.
• Proficiency in model building (lists, modules, line item subsets, DCA, time settings, hierarchies).
• Familiarity with Anaplan best practices: sparsity management, model performance tuning, ALM, and audit-ready development.
• Solid understanding of business processes such as FP&A, workforce planning, sales forecasting, or supply chain operations.
• Anaplan certification (Level 2 Model Builder required; Level 3 preferred).
• Experience with Excel, SQL, or BI tools (Power BI, Tableau) is a plus.
Preferred Qualifications
• Background in Healthcare Finance, Business Analytics, or related disciplines.
• Familiarity with ETL/integration tools (Anaplan Connect, Mulesoft, Informatica) and API-based integrations.
• Experience working in Agile teams using JIRA, Confluence, or similar tools.
• Understanding of DevOps/CI-CD concepts in Anaplan environments is a plus.
Soft Skills & Mindset
• Detail-oriented with a passion for building clean, efficient, and intuitive planning tools.
• Collaborative and proactive in working with cross-functional teams.
• Strong communication skills – able to explain technical logic to non-technical audiences.
• Curious, adaptive, and eager to grow into more complex modeling and architecture roles over time.
