Key skills for this role
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.
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
