Dataiku, a Platform for AI Success, is seeking a Senior Manager to lead Anaplan platform strategy within Strategic Finance. This is a high-visibility, net-new role responsible for owning the end-to-end architecture, governance, and roadmap of the Anaplan environment spanning sales compensation, headcount planning, and forecasting.
Key responsibilities include: owning the strategic roadmap and architecture for Anaplan across multiple modules; serving as the senior escalation point for data integrity issues and leading root-cause investigations when Anaplan doesn't reconcile to source systems (Salesforce, NetSuite, Workday, Greenhouse); managing relationships with external Anaplan consultants and implementation partners, including scoping statements of work and vetting proposals; partnering with Sales Finance, RevOps, Sales Compensation, and Accounting leadership to translate commission plans, ASC 606 accrual methodology, and organizational changes into scalable model design.
The role blends hands-on platform ownership with strategic vision to modernize FP&A operations. You'll drive finance transformation by identifying opportunities to modernize planning, forecasting, and reporting processes, championing automation over manual workarounds. You'll lead process and controls improvements to catch data issues before payroll processing and month-end close, present platform strategy recommendations to finance leadership, and act as a strategic thought partner on where finance technology and AI-enabled tooling can modernize operations.
Additionally, you'll build and mentor a team (starting as an individual contributor with plans to scale) responsible for day-to-day model builds, integrations, and support. You'll own platform governance including user access, security, environment management, and documentation standards, and drive standardization and automation across reporting to reduce reliance on offline spreadsheets.
Required qualifications: 10+ years of progressive experience building and implementing Anaplan solutions, including 3+ years in a leadership or senior IC capacity managing scope and stakeholders directly; Anaplan Certified Model Builder (Level 2+; Master Anaplanner preferred); deep experience designing and maintaining Anaplan models for financial planning, budgeting, forecasting, and sales compensation with strong Data Hub integration experience; demonstrated track record leading finance transformation initiatives; experience managing external consultants and implementation partners; strong understanding of sales compensation structures, ASC 606 commission accounting, and FP&A forecasting; proven ability to diagnose and resolve complex cross-system data reconciliation issues independently.
