Position Summary

We are seeking an experienced Senior Anaplan Model Builder to design, develop, enhance, and support enterprise planning solutions. The successful candidate will work closely with business stakeholders, solution architects, data teams, and other model builders to translate planning requirements into scalable, maintainable, and high-performing Anaplan models.

This role requires solid hands-on model-building expertise, sound understanding of enterprise planning processes, and the ability to independently own requirements from analysis through deployment and production support.

Key Responsibilities

Anaplan Model Development

Design, build, test, deploy, and maintain Anaplan models supporting enterprise planning processes

Translate functional requirements into appropriate lists, hierarchies, modules, line items, calculations, dashboards, and UX pages

Develop efficient formulas using functions such as SUM, LOOKUP, SELECT, FINDITEM, RANK, time functions, Boolean logic, and conditional calculations

Apply Anaplan model-building standards and the PLANS methodology to ensure performance, logical structure, auditability, usability, and sustainability

Review model dimensionality, sparsity, cell count, calculation complexity, and data volumes to maintain strong model performance

Identify and remediate inefficient formulas, unnecessary dimensions, nested conditions, text-based calculations, and other performance bottlenecks

Configure model calendars, time ranges, versions, subsets, line-item subsets, numbered lists, selective access, roles, and user permissions

Create intuitive Anaplan UX experiences, including worksheets, boards, management reports, planning workflows, and exception views

Requirements and Solution Design

Partner with business stakeholders to understand planning processes, pain points, business rules, and reporting requirements

Convert business requirements into detailed technical designs and model-building specifications

Ask appropriate clarification questions and identify gaps, risks, dependencies, and data-quality issues before development begins

Participate in solution-design sessions and provide recommendations on model architecture, maintainability, scalability, and user experience

Support planning use cases such as sales planning, territory and quota planning, workforce planning, financial planning, forecasting, capacity planning, or operational planning

Data Integration

Design and maintain imports, exports, processes, saved views, and integration-ready data structures

Work with data engineering and integration teams to connect Anaplan with upstream and downstream systems

Support integrations using Anaplan Connect, APIs, CloudWorks,



ETL platforms, or equivalent integration technologies

Validate source data, investigate rejected records, reconcile planning outputs, and maintain data integrity across models

Contribute to Data Hub and spoke-model architecture where applicable

Testing and Deployment

Prepare unit-test cases and perform thorough testing before handing solutions to QA or business users

Support system integration testing, user acceptance testing, regression testing, and production validation

Manage model changes through Application Lifecycle Management, revision tags, development, test, and production environments

Ensure deployments are properly documented, tested, approved, and communicated

Troubleshoot production issues and provide timely root-cause analysis and resolution

Performance Optimization and Support

Monitor model size, calculation time, process runtime, page-loading performance, and concurrent-user experience

Conduct before-and-after performance measurements for optimization changes

Diagnose calculation bottlenecks, blocking issues, excessive dimensionality, inefficient data flows, and poor formula design

Provide production support during planning cycles, forecasting periods, close cycles, and other critical business events

Document recurring issues and implement permanent corrective actions rather than relying on manual workarounds

Team Collaboration and Leadership

Mentor junior and intermediate Anaplan model builders

Conduct peer reviews of formulas, modules, data flows, UX pages, and technical designs

Promote consistent model-building standards, naming conventions, documentation, and development practices

Participate actively in sprint planning, backlog grooming, daily stand-ups, demonstrations, and retrospectives

Identify delivery risks early and communicate them clearly to project leads and stakeholders

Prioritize work according to business value, delivery capacity, technical dependencies, and planning deadlines

Take ownership of assigned solutions and proactively identify opportunities for improvement

Minimum Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree or equivalent professional experience in information systems, engineering, finance, business, data analytics, or a related discipline

At least 3–5 years of hands-on Anaplan model-building experience





Demonstrated experience independently building and supporting production Anaplan models

Anaplan Certified Solution Architect certification

Strong understanding of multidimensional model design, lists, hierarchies, modules, line-item formats, summary methods, and model calculations

Experience with Anaplan UX, security, selective access, imports, exports, processes, and Application Lifecycle Management

Experience diagnosing and improving Anaplan model performance

Ability to translate complex business requirements into clear technical solutions

Strong analytical, troubleshooting, documentation, and problem-solving skills

Effective written and verbal communication skills

Ability to work with technical teams, business users, senior stakeholders, and distributed project teams

Preferred Qualifications

Experience working with a centralized Anaplan Data Hub

Experience with Anaplan APIs, CloudWorks, Anaplan Connect, or enterprise integration platforms

Experience in sales planning, territory and quota planning, financial planning

Experience working in Agile delivery teams

Familiarity with data governance, audit controls, segregation of duties, and SOX-compliant environments

Experience leading technical reviews or mentoring other model builders

Knowledge of SQL, data warehouses, business intelligence platforms, or cloud data technologies
