About this role
We're working with a large, well-established manufacturing business to find a Senior Anaplan Model Builder for their finance team. This is a fully remote role based in New Zealand, and it's a genuine opportunity to get your hands on complex, meaningful work, not just maintenance tickets.
The business uses Anaplan as a core part of how their finance function plans and forecasts, and they're at a stage where they need someone who can both develop what's already there and build new models as requirements grow.
Responsibilities:
- Building new Anaplan models across finance use cases (budgeting, P&L planning, headcount forecasting, cost centre planning and similar)
- Enhancing and tuning existing models, including improving calculation logic, performance, and usability
- Partnering directly with FP&A and finance business partners to turn requirements into well-structured model designs
- Creating dashboards and reporting views that finance teams will rely on day to day
- Documenting your work properly and contributing to model governance standards
- Playing an active role in shaping how the Anaplan environment evolves within the business
Requirements:
- Proven hands-on experience building and owning Anaplan models end to end
- Anaplan certification at Model Builder level or above (Solution Architect is desirable)
- A solid grounding in finance processes, particularly planning and forecasting
- Clear communication skills; this role involves regular interaction with non-technical stakeholders, so being able to bridge that gap matters
- A manufacturing, FMCG, or similarly complex industry background is useful, though not a hard requirement
