Partner with systems teams on continuous improvements to SBC and headcount forecasting models to enhance accuracy and efficiency.
Support ad-hoc strategic analyses such as peer benchmarking, scenario modeling, and long-range SBC planning (e.g., SBC % of revenue trajectory).
Contribute to the design and governance of the headcount & SBC planning process within Anaplan, including data integrity, executive dashboards, and reporting enhancements.
Drive insights into job level, function, and region mix to understand grant allocation trends and support executive reporting.
