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. You are a self-starter who can run workstreams independently while collaborating effectively within a team. You are hungry to learn Pigment if you don’t already know it, and you see this as a career-defining opportunity to grow with a practice from early stage to market leader.

How You Embody Our Guiding Principles

• 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
• Own Your Growth: You seek feedback and take on stretch assignments
