Everything that makes you unique is welcome; join us and let's build what's next - together! As a Senior Supply Chain Applications Builder/Developer, you will be responsible for delivering applications based on requirements from Supply Chain Product Management teams. You will have the support of Solution Architects who can guide and coach you on the design/architecture, and you will be able to be accountable for the build activities assigned to you. Having little or no experience in building applications on Anaplan is not a barrier to this role. We are keen to hear from people with Supply Chain planning experience; maybe you've done the job of a planner, provided business consulting in this area, or worked with other tools. If you are willing to learn and are numerically literate, then we can upskill you; building on Anaplan is a business modeling skill set, not software engineering/coding. This role combines excellent collaboration skills, an understanding of Supply Chain Planning use cases, and a thirst to learn. You will have an innovative and problem-solving mindset, and a strong attention to detail and deadlines.

Requirements

A background in supply chain planning is required, either as an operational practitioner, business consultant or through the implementation of other planning solutions in this space.

A keen eye for the user experience, with the ability to turn complex modeling constructs into a visually appealing and easy to use user experience.
Excellent communication, facilitation, and knowledge-sharing skills, with a results-driven perspective, ability to collaborate across teams, and a focus on contributing deliverables of the highest possible quality and impact.
Bachelor's degree in a numerate (math, engineering, computer science, etc) or supply chain/operational field.

Nice To Haves

Experience of Anaplan, as an end user or having done some model building is useful but not essential.
