[Hiring] Pigment Consultant @Ascend Partners Inc.

Role Description

This is a contract role for a Pigment Consultant. The Pigment Consultant is responsible for delivering Pigment solutions for Ascend clients from design through handover, including:

• Running workshops
• Writing requirements
• Overseeing the model build
• Testing
• Handing the model over to the client

Pigment projects are delivered in short, Agile cycles, and AI does a growing share of the model build, so the Pigment Consultant reviews and approves what the AI builds.

The Pigment Consultant works directly with client finance users and administrators, builds with the client, and transfers knowledge throughout the engagement so the client is able to run the model. The Pigment Consultant is expected to be senior in Pigment, to work independently, and to support more than one client at a time.

• Familiar with Pigment Frames, and able to judge when a Frame is a better fit than a Board
• Solution architecture, including splitting the work into Applications and applying Pigment best practices for scale
• Experience with Claude Code or a similar agentic AI tool, ideally connected to Pigment through the Pigment MCP Server, is preferred
• Background in Anaplan, Adaptive, OneStream, or Hyperion/EPBCS, including experience migrating clients to Pigment, is preferred
