About the role

- Deep technical expertise in data integration, including working with APIs and ETL tools to connect EPM platforms to source systems (ERP, CRM, HRIS)
- Exceptional problem-solving and modeling skills, with the ability to translate complex business logic into efficient, scalable, and maintainable model architecture
- The ability to communicate complex technical solutions to non-technical audiences and collaborating effectively with senior business leaders
- The ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth, and ambiguous environment and holds a true "owner's mentality" with the ability to take on a high degree of responsibility
Nice to have:
- Direct, hands-on experience building complex models in Pigment
- Hold a "Certified Anaplan Solution Architect" or "Master Anaplanner" certification
