Job Description
Anaplan Project Manager
Contract | Remote / USA | Long Term
We are seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead enterprise Anaplan implementation and enhancement projects. This role is focused on project delivery, stakeholder coordination, governance, and execution rather than hands-on Anaplan model development.
The Project Manager will work closely with business stakeholders, Anaplan Solution Architects, Model Builders, integration teams, QA, and other cross-functional teams to ensure successful delivery of planning and transformation initiatives.
Key Responsibilities
-
Manage end-to-end delivery of Anaplan implementation, enhancement, and transformation projects.
-
Develop and maintain project plans, milestones, dependencies, resource plans, and delivery schedules.
-
Coordinate across business, Finance/FP&A, functional, technical, data, integration, and QA teams.
-
Facilitate project status meetings, steering committee meetings, and executive-level reporting.
-
Manage project scope, schedule, budget, risks, issues, dependencies, and change requests.
-
Maintain RAID logs and proactively drive risk mitigation and issue resolution.
-
Coordinate requirements, design, development, testing, UAT, deployment, and post-production stabilization activities.
-
Manage dependencies between Anaplan and upstream/downstream enterprise systems and data teams.
-
Support release planning, cutover, go-live readiness, and production transition.
-
Coordinate internal teams, implementation partners, vendors, and onsite/offshore resources.
-
Ensure project deliverables meet agreed timelines, quality standards, and business objectives.
Required Qualifications
-
8+ years of Project/Program Management experience managing enterprise technology implementations.
-
Strong experience managing cross-functional business and technology teams.
-
Experience with ERP, EPM, Financial Planning, Analytics, Data, or enterprise transformation programs.
-
Strong understanding of Agile, Scrum, Waterfall, or hybrid delivery methodologies.
-
Experience managing requirements, development, integrations, testing/UAT, releases, and production deployments.
-
Strong RAID, dependency, change, and stakeholder management experience.
-
Excellent communication and executive stakeholder management skills.
-
Experience coordinating implementation partners, vendors, and distributed/offshore teams.
Preferred Qualifications
-
Previous experience managing Anaplan or other EPM/Connected Planning implementations.
-
Familiarity with Anaplan implementation lifecycle, integrations, testing, releases, and deployment processes.
-
Exposure to FP&A, budgeting, forecasting, workforce planning, sales planning, or financial planning processes.
-
Experience with platforms such as Anaplan, Oracle EPM, Workday Adaptive Planning, Pigment, OneStream, or similar solutions.
-
PMP, Scrum Master, SAFe, or similar certification is a plus.
Note: Hands-on Anaplan model-building experience is not required. The role is focused on successfully managing Anaplan project delivery; Anaplan functional and technical activities will be owned by the appropriate Solution Architects and Model Builders.
