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.
