[Hiring] Senior Director @Argano

Role Description

The Senior Director, Anaplan Delivery is a senior leader responsible for driving delivery excellence across complex, enterprise-scale Anaplan programs and ensuring exceptional client outcomes, strong financial performance, and consistent execution across the Anaplan portfolio. This leader owns the successful delivery of multiple concurrent engagements, providing executive oversight across program strategy, quality, risk, resource management, financial performance, and client satisfaction.

The Senior Director serves as a trusted advisor to senior client stakeholders while partnering closely with Sales, Solution Architecture, Practice Leadership, and Delivery teams to translate client objectives into scalable, high-value Anaplan solutions.

The role requires a leader who can balance client success, delivery quality, people leadership, and commercial performance, while establishing the methodologies, governance, and delivery discipline necessary to scale the Anaplan practice.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide executive oversight for a portfolio of Anaplan implementations, transformations, enhancements, and managed-services engagements.
• Ensure programs are delivered on time, within budget, within scope, and to defined quality standards, with measurable business outcomes.
• Serve as the senior delivery executive for strategic accounts, building trusted relationships with C-suite executives, business leaders, and program sponsors.
• Establish strong governance models covering program health, financial performance, RAID management, quality, change control, and executive reporting.
• Lead executive-level escalations and recovery efforts for high-risk engagements, developing clear remediation plans and driving issues through resolution.
• Ensure solutions balance immediate business requirements with scalability, maintainability, adoption, and long-term client value.
• Champion a client-first delivery culture focused on successful adoption and meaningful business outcomes.

Qualifications

• 12+ years of progressive experience in enterprise technology consulting, professional services, transformation, or enterprise performance management.
• 7+ years leading complex enterprise implementation programs, preferably within Anaplan, EPM, Connected Planning, FP&A, Supply Chain Planning, or related technologies.
• Significant experience leading Anaplan implementations and delivery organizations strongly preferred.
• Demonstrated success overseeing multiple concurrent enterprise programs and distributed delivery teams.
• Strong understanding of the Anaplan implementation lifecycle and enterprise planning processes.
• Experience managing project financials, gross margin, utilization, forecasting, resource planning, SOWs, and change control.
• Proven track record of building trusted relationships with senior executives and navigating complex client organizations.
• Experience supporting pre-sales, solution shaping, estimation, contracting, and executive presentations.
• Strong ability to lead geographically distributed teams, including onshore, nearshore, offshore, contractor, and partner resources.
• Exceptional executive communication, negotiation, problem-solving, and escalation-management skills.
• Demonstrated ability to build and develop high-performing consulting teams.
• Bachelor's degree required; advanced degree preferred.
• Anaplan certifications, including Solution Architect or Certified Master Anaplanner, are highly desirable.

Ideal Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate is much more than an experienced Anaplan practitioner. They are a delivery executive who understands how to turn sophisticated planning technology into measurable business outcomes. They understand the rhythm of enterprise Anaplan delivery from discovery and architecture through model development, testing, deployment, adoption, and ongoing optimization.

They can move comfortably between an executive steering committee discussing transformation outcomes and an internal delivery review examining margin, staffing, scope, architecture, and program risk. Most importantly, they know how to scale excellence: building strong teams, creating delivery discipline, developing trusted client relationships, protecting project economics, and transforming successful implementations into long-term strategic partnerships.
