Sr. Manager, Connected Planning & Anaplan Architecture

Overview

This role focuses on durable architecture and scalable design for a connected planning environment used across FP&A. You will own Anaplan architecture and guide the technical roadmap, model standards, and major planning solutions, while partnering with Finance teams and business stakeholders to connect governed actuals, forecasts, scenarios, and reporting across systems.

This is not a day-to-day Anaplan support position. Emphasis is on solution ownership, clear system boundaries, complex builds, and the evolution of planning processes over time.

Responsibilities

• Own connected planning and Anaplan architecture across the FP&A footprint, including model design, roadmap, scalability, performance, security, and major build decisions.
• Translate planning requirements and spreadsheet- or workflow-based processes into scalable planning solutions, including determining when a use case belongs in Anaplan versus a data, automation, or reporting layer.
• Own Anaplan Data Hub architecture and define application lifecycle management strategy, workspace and model design, release discipline, testing standards, and controlled production change.
• Establish reusable model-building standards, design patterns, documentation, runbooks, and backup coverage to improve maintainability and reduce key-person dependency.
• Lead major Anaplan builds and complex planning initiatives from solution design through implementation, validation, adoption, and ongoing support readiness.
• Partner with Finance Analytics Engineering & Automation on integrations between Anaplan, Snowflake, workflow automation, and downstream reporting, with clear ownership and control points across systems.
• Serve as the escalation point for complex Anaplan and connected-planning architecture questions, providing recommendations, tradeoffs, and downstream impact analysis.
• Coach and mentor Anaplan builders across the broader Finance team, using project-based support where appropriate while maintaining clear architecture standards and accountability.
• Partner with FP&A leaders and business stakeholders to evolve the connected planning roadmap across forecasting, annual planning, scenario analysis, workforce planning, revenue and bookings, and other priority use cases.
• Stay current on Anaplan capabilities and adjacent planning technologies, recommending improvements to scalability, user experience, automation, governance, and maintainability.

Requirements

• 6+ years of Anaplan experience, including demonstrated ownership of enterprise or multi-model architecture, technical roadmap, and major solution design.
• Deep proficiency in Anaplan Data Hub design, dimensional architecture, model performance, integration patterns, and implementation best practices.
• Strong command of Anaplan application lifecycle management, release management, testing, workspace and model strategy, and controlled production change.
• Proven ability to design, build, and troubleshoot complex Anaplan models, formulas, integrations, and performance-sensitive solutions.
• Strong understanding of FP&A and planning processes, including forecasting, annual planning, headcount, expense, revenue or bookings, scenario planning, and reconciliation to actuals.
• Experience designing planning user experiences and workflows that balance model architecture, usability, adoption, and planning-cycle reliability.
• Working knowledge of cloud data platforms, SQL, workflow automation, APIs, or comparable integration technologies sufficient to design clean system boundaries and integration contracts.
• Prior technical leadership, mentoring, or people management experience, with the ability to lead complex work even when contributors report through other teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Anaplan Solutions Architect, Master Anaplanner, or comparable advanced Anaplan certification.
• Experience integrating Anaplan with Snowflake, Alteryx, APIs, or other modern Finance data and automation platforms.
• Experience supporting connected-planning use cases across GTM, revenue, workforce, capacity, territory, quota, or other cross-functional planning domains.
• Experience with data governance, planning controls, reconciliation, metadata, or enterprise model standards.
• Experience operating in a SaaS or subscription business with complex forecasting and planning requirements.

Compensation & Benefits

• Compensation will be determined by a combination of factors including relevant experience, skills, certifications, and geographic location.
• Eligible for variable compensation including bonus and equity.
• Based in the Philippines; compensation will be benchmarked to that market.

Location
