What you will do

• Own end-to-end delivery of Anaplan implementations, coordinating internal specialists and outside partners to achieve successful project outcomes.
• Establish clear governance structures, define scope carefully, and identify assumptions early so delivery remains controlled and realistic.
• Serve as the central delivery contact for customers, building alignment with stakeholders ranging from operational teams to executive leadership.
• Manage large, complicated enterprise programs while balancing scope, risk, budget, staffing, and overall delivery quality.
• Anticipate issues before they become major blockers and drive timely decisions on solution design, testing, timelines, and organizational change activities.
• Use strong negotiation and influencing skills to resolve disagreements, keep teams aligned, and maintain momentum across the program.
• Take responsibility for turning around projects that have gone off course, including work led by partners or vendors, and bring them back to a successful delivery path.
• Promote Anaplan’s delivery approach and help ensure solutions are scalable, intuitive, and easy for end users to adopt.
• Provide clear and practical reporting on project progress and the overall health of the portfolio to both internal leaders and customer stakeholders.
• Act as a strategic advisor who can communicate effectively with everyone from daily users to C-level executives.

What the role requires

• Substantial experience in program or project management within large-scale enterprise environments.
• A strong record of leading complex implementations at program level, ideally in Supply Chain, Financial Planning & Analysis, or Workforce Planning.
• Deep practical experience with Agile delivery methods, which the employer considers essential.
• Good commercial understanding of project finance topics, especially budgeting, forecasting, and billing, and how they affect successful delivery.
• Demonstrated ability to recover troubled projects and realign delivery when work has been led by external partners or vendors.
• Excellent communication and customer engagement skills, including the ability to influence senior stakeholders and negotiate confidently.
• Capability to manage multiple enterprise programs simultaneously while keeping delivery on track.
• A self-directed, highly driven approach with the confidence to take ownership and operate effectively in a hands-on leadership role.
• Experience in Supply Chain, FP&A, or Workforce Planning would be a strong advantage, though it is not mandatory.
