Sr. Manager, Connected Planning & Anaplan Architecture

Meet the Moment with Alteryx

We're living through a once-in-a-generation shift in how work gets done. Data, automation, and AI are quickly becoming the center of every business decision - and Alteryx is leading the transformation.

You'll be working on the challenges that sit at the heart of modern business. No matter your role, the work you do will help organizations move faster, see more clearly, and tackle questions that used to feel impossible.

If you're ready to meet the moment with innovation, curiosity, and excellence, there's a place for you here.

Alteryx is looking for a senior planning architect who can lead the design and evolution of our connected planning environment. This role will own Anaplan architecture, technical roadmap, model standards, and major planning solutions across FP&A while helping Finance connect governed actuals, forecasts, scenarios, and reporting across systems.

This is not a day-to-day Anaplan support role. The focus is on durable architecture, scalable planning design, complex solution ownership, and clear system boundaries. You will partner closely with FP&A, Finance Analytics Engineering & Automation, Finance Data & Analytics, and business stakeholders to determine how planning processes should be designed, integrated, and operated over time.

Responsibilities

• Own connected planning and Anaplan architecture across the FP&A footprint, including model design, roadmap, scalability, performance, security, and major build decisions.
• Translate planning requirements and spreadsheet- or workflow-based processes into scalable planning solutions, and help determine when a use case belongs in Anaplan versus a data, automation, or reporting layer.
• Own Anaplan Data Hub architecture, application lifecycle management strategy, workspace and model design, release discipline, testing standards, and controlled production change.
• Establish reusable model-building standards, design patterns, documentation, runbooks, and backup coverage that improve maintainability and reduce key-person dependency.
• Lead major Anaplan builds and complex planning initiatives from solution design through implementation, validation, adoption, and ongoing support readiness.
• Partner with Finance Analytics Engineering & Automation on integrations between Anaplan, Snowflake, workflow automation, and downstream reporting, with clear ownership and control points across systems.
• Serve as the escalation point for complex Anaplan and connected-planning architecture questions, providing clear recommendations, tradeoffs, and downstream impact analysis.
• Coach and mentor Anaplan builders across the broader Finance team, using project-based support where appropriate while maintaining clear architecture standards and accountability.
• Partner with FP&A leaders and business stakeholders to evolve the connected planning roadmap across forecasting, annual planning, scenario analysis, workforce planning, revenue and bookings, and other priority use cases.
• Stay current on Anaplan capabilities and adjacent planning technologies, recommending improvements to scalability, user experience, automation, governance, and maintainability.

Qualifications

• 6+ years of Anaplan experience, including demonstrated ownership of enterprise or multi-model architecture, technical roadmap, and major solution design.
• Deep proficiency in Anaplan Data Hub design, dimensional architecture, model performance, integration patterns, and implementation best practices.
• Strong command of Anaplan application lifecycle management, release management, testing, workspace and model strategy, and controlled production change.
• Proven ability to design, build, and troubleshoot complex Anaplan models, formulas, integrations, and performance-sensitive solutions.
• Strong understanding of FP&A and planning processes, including forecasting, annual planning, headcount, expense, revenue or bookings, scenario planning, and reconciliation to actuals.
• Experience designing planning user experiences and workflows that balance model architecture, usability, adoption, and planning-cycle reliability.
• Working knowledge of cloud data platforms, SQL, workflow automation, APIs, or comparable integration technologies sufficient to design clean system boundaries and integration contracts.
• Prior technical leadership, mentoring, or people management experience, with the ability to lead complex work even when contributors report through other teams.

Preferred Experience

• Anaplan Solutions Architect, Master Anaplanner, or comparable advanced Anaplan certification.
• Experience integrating Anaplan with Snowflake, Alteryx, APIs, or other modern Finance data and automation platforms.
• Experience supporting connected-planning use cases across GTM, revenue, workforce, capacity, territory, quota, or other cross-functional planning domains.
• Experience with data governance, planning controls, reconciliation, metadata, or enterprise model standards.
• Experience operating in a SaaS or subscription business with complex forecasting and planning requirements.

What Success Looks Like

• Anaplan operates as a stable, scalable planning platform with clear architecture, standards, documentation, release discipline, and backup coverage.
• Major planning initiatives can move from business requirement to production solution without relying on a single individual for architecture or troubleshooting.
• Planning data moves cleanly between Anaplan, governed data platforms, automation workflows, and reporting layers with clear controls and ownership.
• FP&A expands connected planning capabilities without creating unnecessary model complexity, duplicate solutions, or unmanaged technical debt.
