  • Highly organised, self-motivated, and comfortable managing multiple planning workstreams in a dynamic cloud environment.

Bonus skills: exposure to Workforce, CapEx, Projects or Strategic Modelling, experience with REST APIs and Groovy scripting, or migrating from Hyperion Planning to EPM Cloud.
