Ideal Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate is a technically strong planning consultant who wants to work at the intersection of business strategy and technology. You have built models in at least one EPM platform and understand the underlying planning processes.

• Become an Expert: You pursue mastery of Pigment and planning best practices
• Stay Curious: You are always learning, always asking “why” and “what if”
• Be a Team Player: You succeed as a pod, not as an individual
