About this role
Tru Consulting is seeking a Lead Model Builder to own enterprise Anaplan engagements from start to finish. You'll design and build sophisticated multi-dimensional financial models for large clients, lead project teams through complex implementations, and manage client relationships independently across requirements gathering, design, UAT, and deployment. This is a hands-on leadership role where you'll spend significant time architecting solutions and building models yourself, not just overseeing others.
The ideal candidate brings at least five years of consulting or technical experience, deep expertise in Anaplan (with current Model Builder certification and progress toward Solution Architect), and a strong finance or analysis background. You should be comfortable leading requirements workshops, mentoring junior model builders, and balancing billable utilization targets with delivery excellence. Business development involvement—identifying opportunities and contributing to proposals—is an expected part of the role.
This is a remote contract position based in Baltimore. You'll need current permanent US work authorization and a degree in Computer Science, Finance, Analysis, or a related field. Success here depends on both technical depth in enterprise model design and the leadership capability to guide teams and clients through large-scale projects.
