Senior Anaplan Model Builder (Remote Friendly)

M-KOPA City of Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa

Remote Friendly | Global Opportunity

Overview

M-KOPA is one of Africa’s fastest‑growing fintechs, providing financial access to everyday earners across an entire continent. With over 5 million customers, the company is scaling rapidly and building an enterprise‑grade planning infrastructure to drive growth across its African footprint.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and own robust Anaplan models that support annual budgeting, long‑range planning, rolling forecasts, and scenario modeling across multiple business units and geographies.
  • Own integrations between Anaplan and ERP, CRM, and data lake systems, ensuring seamless data flow and real‑time insights. Establish governing practices, documentation standards, version control protocols, and security controls that sustain the platform as the business grows.
  • Partner directly with Finance, Commercial, and Operations teams to translate business needs into scalable solutions, lead user training and onboarding, and drive platform adoption. Work with internal stakeholders and external consultants across time zones, aligning on design and implementation best‑practice and exploring opportunities to integrate AI and advanced analytics into the roadmap.

Qualifications

  • Certified Anaplan Model Builder (Level 2 or higher).
  • 5+ years of hands‑on experience developing and scaling complex Anaplan models, ideally in fast‑growing fintechs, telecoms, or global multi‑country environments.
  • Strong financial planning knowledge—P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, driver‑based forecasting.
  • Advanced Excel and data modeling capabilities with proven experience integrating Anaplan with ERP and data systems via APIs, ETL tools, or middleware.
  • Experience working in an Anaplan‑focused consulting role or as an internal builder in a high‑growth organization, collaborating across cultures and time zones.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to translate technical complexity into business value.
  • Why This Opportunity Is Different

    Remote work is core, not a perk—work from wherever you’re most effective, whether that’s India, Nairobi, London, New York, or anywhere in between. You will lead the design of a next‑generation planning environment for a company whose mission is financial inclusion at scale, supported by a competitive compensation and benefits package for global talent.
