## Direct-match strengths

Workforce planning, forecasting, scheduling, optimization, enterprise data integration, consulting, workshops, mentoring, architecture, governance, and AI-enabled planning.

## Hard or material gaps

Hard required-platform gap: five years of hands-on Anaplan delivery and deep Classic/Polaris expertise are mandatory and unsupported. The role is also 30% business growth, includes sales/account ownership and presales, and has no Boston or nationwide-remote eligibility. Compensation is undisclosed for a non-qualifying title.

## Evidence map

1. 5+ years hands-on Anaplan delivery (weight 3, evidence 0/3) — No source-supported Anaplan experience.
2. Deep Classic and Polaris model architecture (weight 3, evidence 0/3) — No source-supported Anaplan Classic or Polaris experience.
3. Workforce planning and management (weight 3, evidence 3/3) — Built forecasting, staffing, scheduling, and optimization capabilities at SuccessKPI.
4. Enterprise planning integrations (weight 3, evidence 2/3) — Direct ERP, HCM, CRM, data-platform, and enterprise-integration experience; not within Anaplan.
5. Consulting and executive facilitation (weight 2, evidence 3/3) — Direct AWS/NorthBay consulting, workshops, and executive advisory.
6. Sales, account growth, and presales (weight 2, evidence 1/3) — Some consulting pursuits are supported, but this is not Keith's target function.
7. AI-driven forecasting (weight 1, evidence 2/3) — Direct ML forecasting and optimization; named Anaplan AI modules are unsupported.

## Keyword diagnostic

Strong transferable workforce-management and planning experience, but the central Anaplan specialization, commercial-growth mandate, geography, and compensation policy are decisive gaps.

Why Keyrus, Why Now!
Keyrus is an international group of 2,800 consultants and experts across 28 countries, built on a single conviction: AI does not transform businesses. Architected intelligence does. For more than 30 years, we have been building the data foundations that make intelligent systems work — designing the Operating System of the intelligent enterprise, where intelligence is embedded into the core of business processes to create sustainable value: we operationalise intelligence.
AI does not replace humans. It repositions us to a place no system can follow: understanding, deciding, designing, and creating. At Keyrus, you will not just develop skills - you will develop judgment. Your expertise sharpens with every system you architect, every client challenge you solve, every deployment that compounds on the last.
Over time, you grow into one of the rarest professionals of the intelligence era: someone who bridges data, AI, and human decision-making at scale, across industries and geographies. This is not a role you fill. It is a discipline you master and a story you help write to become a Keyrus Architect of Intelligence.
Technology amplifies. Keyrus culture differentiates. Industrial discipline connects the two.
