## Description

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.

Your Impact

 * Drive Delivery Excellence: Lead end-to-end Anaplan deployments alongside internal teams and external partners, establishing robust governance, ensuring precise scoping, and proactively uncovering hidden assumptions.
 * Commercial Acumen Required: Must possess a deep understanding of project finance fundamentals-specifically budgeting, forecasting, and billing-which are critical to successful project delivery but frequently misunderstood or overlooked in standard project management roles.
 * Be the Strategic Anchor: Serve as the primary point of contact for delivery, building alignment with customer stakeholders ranging from operational leads up to the C-suite.
 * Master Complex Programs: Navigate intricate, multi-faceted programs, ensuring flawless delivery while expertly balancing scope, risk, budget, and resourcing.
 * Accelerate Decision-Making: Anticipate bottlenecks and drive critical project decisions across design, testing, timelines, and organizational change management.
 * Build Consensus: Leverage top-tier negotiation skills to resolve conflicts, maintain project momentum, and unite diverse teams behind a shared goal.
 * Champion Excellence: Advocate for and implement the "Anaplan Way" methodology, ensuring the delivery of scalable, highly intuitive, and user-friendly solutions.
 * Deliver Transparency: Provide clear, actionable reporting on project status and overall portfolio health to both internal leadership and external stakeholders., We believe attracting and retaining the best talent and fostering an inclusive culture strengthens our business. DEIB improves our workforce, enhances trust with our partners and customers, and drives business success. Build your career in a place where diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging aren't just words on paper - this is what drives our innovation, it's how we connect, and it contributes to what makes us a market leader. We believe in a hiring and working environment where all people are respected and valued, regardless of gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, age, neurodiversity, disability status, citizenship, or any other aspect which makes people unique. We hire you for who you are, and we want you to bring your authentic self to work every day!
