Sr. Solution Implementation Manager

We are seeking a highly driven self-starter with exceptional program-level delivery experience to join Anaplan in UAE as a Senior Solution Implementation Manager. This is a rare, high-impact opportunity to lay the groundwork and shape the success of our most strategic enterprise customers across the Middle East.

Why Join Us You won't just be managing projects; you will be building a legacy. You'll work with industry-defining AI and planning technology, partner with the world's leading brands, and have a tangible impact on how global enterprises operate.

You will bring a proven track record of leading complex, high-stakes implementations—ideally within Supply Chain, Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A), or Workforce Planning. Thriving at the intersection of delivery and strategic advisory, you will scope, negotiate, manage escalations, and serve as an indispensable partner to both customer and internal stakeholders.

This is a hands-on project management delivery position tailor-made for a program delivery expert who can seamlessly orchestrate multiple enterprise programs, ensure strict adherence to budget and scope, and expertly pivot to recover projects that have drifted off track.

• Drive Delivery Excellence: Lead end-to-end Anaplan deployments alongside internal teams and external partners, establishing robust governance, ensuring precise scoping, and proactively uncovering hidden assumptions.
• Be the Strategic Anchor: Serve as the primary point of contact for delivery, building alignment with customer stakeholders ranging from operational leads up to the C-suite.
• Deliver Transparency: Provide clear, actionable reporting on project status and overall portfolio health to both internal leadership and external stakeholders.
• Enterprise Expertise: Demonstrable history of exemplary program or project management across complex, large-scale enterprise initiatives.
• Agile Mastery: Deep, hands-on experience in Agile project delivery methodologies—this is essential for driving our fast-paced implementations.
• Turnaround Architect: Proven ability to recover and realign complex projects led by partners or vendors. We are looking for a track record of delivering—and rescuing—large-scale projects under tight timelines and budgets.
• Executive Influence: Exceptional customer engagement and communication skills, characterised by the ability to negotiate, influence senior leadership, and confidently act as a trusted strategic advisor.
