• Serve as the primary advisor to Product Owner and Senior leadership, translating business strategy into Anaplan capabilities and influencing decision-making
• Oversee platform health, including model performance, integrations, security, and scalability, proactively identifying risks and optimization opportunities

• Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills, with ability to connect business drivers to technical solutions
• Proven ability to operate in ambiguous, fast-paced environments, delivering outcomes with minimal oversight
