Pigment Consultant (Contract)

Accountabilities:: Lead end-to-end Pigment implementation projects, from requirements gathering and solution design through model development, testing, deployment, and client handover. Facilitate design workshops and sprint demonstrations with client finance teams, translating business needs into actionable user stories, technical specifications, and measurable acceptance criteria. Design scalable Pigment solutions, organize work across applications, and apply platform best practices to ensure efficient model architecture. Build and oversee models using Pigment components, including Metrics, Lists, dimensions, Tables, Transaction Lists, Boards, Views, and Frames. Leverage Pigment AI agents, particularly the Modeler Agent, to accelerate development, write clear build specifications, and carefully review AI-generated models before approval. Identify and resolve formula errors, performance issues, data inconsistencies, and security vulnerabilities through thorough model reviews and testing. Configure data integrations, native connectors, APIs, automated data loads, user roles, access rights, and AI data access settings to ensure secure and reliable information flows. Design and execute testing strategies, including user acceptance testing, in collaboration with client stakeholders. Manage Agile delivery processes through sprint planning, backlog prioritization, regular demonstrations, and scope adjustments. Work directly with client administrators and finance users, encouraging collaborative model development and helping them improve existing planning processes rather than simply replicate spreadsheets. Apply financial planning and analysis expertise to solution design, including driver-based P&L models, operating expenses, rolling forecasts, and budgeting cycles. Document project decisions, architectural choices, technical specifications, and handover materials in accordance with established delivery standards. Manage multiple client engagements simultaneously, maintaining delivery quality, timelines, and stakeholder satisfaction. Maintain professional certifications and continuously develop expertise in Pigment's evolving platform and AI capabilities. Represent the consulting practice professionally throughout client engagements and travel to client locations when required.

At least 5 years of experience in enterprise performance management, financial planning, or related planning solutions. Required Pigment Modeling Fundamentals certification. Completed or ongoing Pigment Academy AI learning tracks covering Modeler, Analyst, and Custom Agents. Completed Pigment Pro Training partner track, or willingness to complete it before starting. Strong FP&A expertise, including driver-based financial modeling, P&L structures, operating expenses, rolling forecasts, and annual budget cycles. Experience in at least two of the following areas: workforce and headcount planning, revenue and ARR forecasting (particularly SaaS), sales capacity and quota planning, three-statement financial modeling, or supply chain and S&OP. Advanced Pigment modeling skills, including Metrics, Lists, dimensions, Tables, Transaction Lists, formula development, and data granularity optimization. Strong command of Pigment's formula language, including BY and modifiers, FILTER, SELECT, PREVIOUS, and ITEM, with the ability to optimize model performance. Experience designing input and reporting interfaces using Boards and Views, as well as managing scenarios, versions, and snapshots. Practical knowledge of data integration through ERP, CRM, HRIS, and data warehouse connectors, imports, APIs, and automated data pipelines. Strong understanding of security architecture, including roles, access rights, row-level permissions, and AI agent permissions for sensitive information. Hands-on experience with the Modeler Agent and working knowledge of Analyst, Custom, and Documentation Agents. Familiarity with Pigment Frames and the ability to determine when they are more appropriate than Boards. Understanding of solution architecture and the ability to organize implementations into scalable applications. Experience with Claude Code or similar agentic AI tools, ideally integrated with Pigment through the Pigment MCP Server, is preferred. Previous experience with Anaplan, Adaptive, OneStream, or Hyperion/EPBCS, particularly in migration projects to Pigment, is an advantage. Experience delivering implementations through a Pigment consulting partner or professional services team is preferred. SQL and data warehouse expertise, as well as familiarity with Pigment Predictions and machine-learning forecasting, are additional advantages. Strong Agile project delivery skills, adaptability to evolving requirements, and the ability to work independently with end-to-end ownership. Excellent communication, collaboration, problem-solving, and client relationship management skills. Benefits: Contract-based consulting opportunity. Remote work opportunity within the United States. Exposure to multiple client engagements and diverse financial transformation projects. Opportunity to work with advanced EPM technology and AI-powered modeling tools.
