Job Description:
Shield AI is seeking a Senior Anaplan Solutions Architect to set technical direction and lead connected planning for Corporate FP&A. In our lean team, you will be both architect and hands-on builder, independently guiding complex design decisions while coaching FP&A colleagues toward greater self-sufficiency. You will help advance an autonomous, continuously updated forecast grounded in business drivers, robust data, and validated machine-learning inputs, freeing Finance partners to advise the business and giving leaders timely projections.
What you'll do:
- Architect and build connected models for financial statements, workforce, allocations, annual planning, and long-range scenarios.
- Shape the planning architecture and roadmap with Finance leaders, balancing business value, scalability, and delivery capacity.
- Establish design standards and resolve cross-model dependencies to keep planning solutions intuitive, performant, and maintainable.
- Coach FP&A users and builders to own more of their analysis, scenarios, and model development.
- Integrate trusted enterprise data and predictive outputs into Anaplan, partnering with data and analytics engineers.
- Advance continuously refreshed, driver-based forecasting with clear reconciliation, review, and override controls.
- Provide technical leadership to builders and implementation partners, owning solution quality, acceptance, and knowledge transfer.
- Required qualifications:
- Extensive hands-on Anaplan experience with a record of architecting and delivering complex connected planning solutions.
- Deep understanding of Corporate FP&A and the judgment to translate Finance priorities into architectural decisions.
- Demonstrated ability to independently lead complex delivery while building directly in a lean team.
- Experience with integrations, model performance, reconciliation, and controlled deployment.
- Experience mentoring builders, developing Finance users, and advising senior stakeholders on design and delivery tradeoffs.
- Anaplan Solution Architect certification or Master Anaplanner designation.
- Experience with integrated three-statement planning and driver-based forecasting.
- Experience integrating predictive models or enterprise data platforms with planning applications.
