- Advise clients on technical strategy across all peripheral Anaplan areas: FCR, Forecaster, Optimizer, Workflow, ADO or CloudWorks.
Leadership & People Development
- Coach and support junior consultants, helping them set objectives, develop their skills, and maintain quality standards.
- Foster Fidenda’s culture and values, acting as a role model for collaborative and feedback‑driven behaviours.
Business Development & Growth
- Proactively identify client extension opportunities and contribute to the sales process through demos, scoping, and proposal creation.
- Contribute to capability‑building, knowledge‑sharing, and the creation of reusable content and internal initiatives.
- Build external credibility as a Fidenda expert through industry events, LinkedIn, and marketing activities.
What we’re looking for
- Proven consulting experience with a track record of owning and delivering complex technical solutions in client‑facing environments.
- Deep expertise in at least one of Finance, HR, Supply Chain, or Sales, with the ability to challenge clients from a position of domain knowledge.
- Strong senior stakeholder management skills, with the commercial awareness to manage scope and protect project interests.
- Anaplan Solution Architect certification, or significant delivery experience with a clear path to certification.
- Experience mentoring junior team members and fostering a collaborative team culture.
- Master Anaplanner certification.
- Hands‑on experience with Anaplan’s broader toolset: FCR, Forecaster, Optimizer, Workflow, ADO or CloudWorks.
- Prior involvement in business development — proposals, demos, scoping, or prospect engagement.
- Established network within the Anaplan ecosystem or connected planning community.
What you can expect from Fidenda
- Real ownership and autonomy — trusted to shape delivery and client relationships from day one.
- A clear pathway to Principal‑level roles, with transparent expectations and regular development support.
- Flexible, remote‑first working with access to our Kings Cross office.
- Complex, high‑value engagements with leading global organisations across a range of industries.
