Position Overview
Dataiku is seeking a Senior Manager, Anaplan & Sales Compensation Systems to lead our Anaplan platform strategy within Strategic Finance. This is a net-new, high-visibility role responsible for owning the end-to-end architecture, governance, and roadmap of our Anaplan environment - spanning sales compensation, headcount planning, and forecasting. Beyond platform administration, this person will be a driving force in modernizing how Dataiku's FP&A function operates - identifying where manual, spreadsheet-driven processes should give way to systematized, scalable workflows, and helping lead that transformation end-to-end. You'll set the technical and process direction for how Anaplan supports the business, manage relationships with implementation partners and consultants, and be the senior escalation point when data doesn't tie out. This role blends deep hands-on platform ownership with the strategic vision to modernize how FP&A operates - and the judgment to know when to build, when to bring in outside expertise, and when to say the current approach isn't sustainable.
Key Responsibilities
- Own the strategic roadmap and architecture for Anaplan across sales compensation, headcount planning, and forecasting modules
- Serve as the senior escalation point for data integrity issues, leading root-cause investigation when Anaplan doesn't reconcile to source-of-truth systems (Salesforce, NetSuite, Workday, Greenhouse)
- Manage relationships with external Anaplan consultants and implementation partners - scoping statements of work, vetting proposals, and holding vendors accountable to timelines and quality
- Partner directly with Sales Finance, RevOps, Sales Compensation, and Accounting leadership to translate evolving commission plans, ASC 606 accrual methodology, and org changes into scalable model design
- Drive FP&A finance transformation - identify opportunities to modernize planning, forecasting, and reporting processes across the broader FP&A org, championing automation and systematization over manual, offline workarounds
- Lead process and controls improvements to catch data issues before payroll processing and month-end close, replacing manual reconciliation workarounds with systematized checks
- Present recommendations and platform strategy to finance leadership, including trade-offs between build-vs-buy, technical debt, and long-term maintainability
- Act as a strategic thought partner to FP&A leadership on where finance technology and AI-enabled tooling can modernize how the team operates
- Build and mentor a team (starting as an individual contributor with plans to scale) responsible for day-to-day model builds, integrations, and support
- Own platform governance: user access, security, environment management, and documentation standards
- Drive standardization and automation across reporting, reducing reliance on offline spreadsheets and one-off fixes
Qualifications
- 10+ years of progressive experience building and implementing Anaplan solutions, including 3+ years in a leadership or senior IC capacity managing scope and stakeholders directly
- Anaplan Certified Model Builder (Level 2+; Master Anaplanner preferred)
- Deep experience designing, developing, and maintaining Anaplan models for financial planning, budgeting, forecasting, and sales compensation; strong Data Hub integration and design experience
- Demonstrated track record of leading finance transformation initiatives - modernizing legacy processes, introducing new tools/systems, or re-architecting how a finance function operates
- Track record of managing external consultants/implementation partners, including scoping and vetting proposals
- Strong understanding of sales compensation structures, ASC 606 commission accounting, and FP&A forecasting concepts
- Proven ability to diagnose and resolve complex, cross-system data reconciliation issues independently
- Familiarity with system implementation methodologies (requirements gathering, design, build/test, deploy); Agile experience a plus
- Excellent stakeholder management skills - able to influence senior finance and sales leadership and translate technical model logic for non-technical audiences
- Experience with Workato or similar integration/automation platforms is a plus
- Comfortable operating with high ownership in an ambiguous, evolving environment, and confident recommending process or system changes when the current approach isn't working
