Solution Architect - Anaplan (F H)

📋 Description • Architect the future of finance at Mirakl by owning the end-to-end design, build and evolution of our global Anaplan ecosystem. You will translate complex FP&A requirements into elegant, scalable models that power forecasting, budgeting, long-range planning and monthly close for a hyper-growth SaaS company trusted by 450+ retail giants. • Partner shoulder-to-shoulder with the FP&A Director and Business Solution Architect to spot pain points in monthly closes, variance analysis and board reporting; then automate them. Typical wins: reducing close cycle from 6 to 2 days, eliminating 200+ hours of manual reconciliations, or creating self-service dashboards that give C-suite real-time P&L visibility. • Lead cross-functional squads (Finance, IT, Data, Sales Ops) through the full project life-cycle: requirements workshops, story mapping, sprint planning, model configuration, user-acceptance testing, change-management and hyper-care. You will write the epics, groom the backlog and sign-off on production releases. • Design best-practice data architecture that stitches Anaplan to NetSuite, Salesforce, Alteryx, Power BI and Snowflake. Build import/export pipelines, set up multi-dimensional hierarchies, implement dynamic time scales and create line-item subsets that keep models lean (<5 GB) while supporting 50k+ SKUs and 30+ currencies. • Embed advanced analytics into planning modules: driver-based revenue models (ARR, churn, upsell), workforce planning with salary inflation curves, marketing ROI attribution, and scenario toggles for M&A or FX shocks. Publish predictive forecasts using Anaplan’s Optimizer and Python connectors. • Champion governance and guardrails: establish user roles, selective access, audit trails and ALM discipline (dev-test-prod) so SOX compliance is baked in. Write concise technical specs and visual process maps that let new analysts onboard in days, not weeks. • Curate a global Centre of Excellence: run monthly “Anaplan Academy” brown-bags, publish Confluence playbooks, certify power-users and manage the Ideas Portal so continuous improvement becomes part of Mirakl’s DNA. Measure success via NPS (>80) and model-performance SLAs (<2s dashboard load). • Stay two steps ahead of the business—evaluate new Anaplan features (UX 2.0, Transactional APIs, AI Forecast) and roadmap them into quarterly releases. Present business cases to Finance leadership showing ROI >3× within two quarters. • Influence Mirakl’s broader data strategy: feed lessons learned into ERP harmonization, master-data governance and ESG reporting initiatives. Your models will directly inform how we allocate >€50 M opex and justify valuation drivers to investors.
