Operator's Seat. Clear Mandate. Thoma Bravo Standards.

Anaplan is the connected planning platform trusted by the world's most ambitious companies —

and as a flagship Thoma Bravo portfolio company, we operate with the discipline and urgency of

a business built to win. We're scaling a world-class Customer Success org into its next chapter,

and we're looking for one of the best operators in the industry to lead it.

You'll be leading a critical post-sales capability for a $100M+ business. The top and most

sophisticated companies across Banking, Capital Markets, and Insurance leverage Anaplan for

their most critical and important scenario planning and analysis. These customers don't tolerate

mediocrity. They expect a partner who understands their business as well as their own leadership

does. That's you.

This leader will also shape and define how we navigate our next chapter, driving adoption and

consumption of Agentic, MCP, and the emerging technologies redefining how our customers

plan and operate.

You'll lead a team of 7+ CSBPs (spread across AMER), report to the AVP of Customer Success

(based in NYC), and operate as a true front-line general manager, owning the outcomes, the

numbers, and the relationships that matter most.

What You'll Own

• The Business: full customer lifecycle ownership: retention, expansion (NNACV),

pipeline contribution (CSQL)

• The Team: coach and elevate high-performing CSBPs. Build careers, accelerate

trajectory

• The Relationships: be the executive face of Anaplan for customers who expect nothing

less than excellence

• The Discipline: Thoma Bravo-caliber rigor: sharp forecasting, tight inspection, relentless

focus on what moves the business

• The Next Chapter: shape how we drive the adoption of Agentic AI, MCP, and next-gen

capabilities that will define how our customers plan for years to come

no one's watching, who owns outcomes without excuses, and who brings a relentless, all-in

conviction that AI isn't a threat to great customer success work, it's the tool that lets great teams

do their best work faster. If you operate with unwavering principles, obsess over your customers'

success as if it were your own, and are genuinely excited to help define what AI-powered

leadership looks like at Anaplan, we want to meet you.
