Anaplan Model Builder (m/f/d)

About Bedford

At Bedford, you’ll become part of one of Anaplan’s largest and longest-running Gold partners, recognised year after year for excellence and innovation. We are a team committed to going Beyond the Expected for one another, our customers and our partners.

As we continue to grow across EMEA, we look for people who are curious, think ahead, communicate clearly, take ownership and consistently deliver high-quality work with excellent outcomes.

Beyond the Expected means asking thoughtful questions, anticipating needs, bringing clarity to complexity and solving problems proactively. Our culture is built on partnership, innovation, customer focus, humility and teamwork.

If that sounds like you, Bedford will feel like home. An exciting opportunity has opened within our Professional Services Team in the DACH region for a Model Builder role. This is a full-time position.

Role Opportunity

This role is aimed at professionals working close to business processes – for example in controlling, FP&A, or data/analytics – who want to move into a consulting environment and work on how these processes are structured and implemented in systems. Experience with Anaplan or comparable platforms is a plus, not a requirement.
