Anaplan is Vanderlande's platform for integrated business planning (S&OP/IBP). As Anaplan Integration & Application Specialist you own the technical side of this platform: the data integrations that feed it from our enterprise landscape and the day-to-day technical application management that keeps it reliable, secure, and performant. You join at a pivotal moment. Today, application-to-application integration at Vanderlande runs over an enterprise service bus based on Azure Service Bus, and Anaplan will initially integrate with our current ERP system, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. At the same time, we are building a modern integration and data platform based on the Databricks Lakehouse, and we stand at the start of a major ERP modernization. You will build the integrations that work today — and re-platform them for the landscape of tomorrow. Important to know: you will not build or modify the financial and logistical planning models themselves. Model building is owned by the S&OP/IBP team, outside IT. You partner closely with their model builders, but your focus is data, integration, and technical platform management.

- Bachelor's degree or higher in IT, computer science, or a comparable field.
- Hands-on Anaplan experience is required — gained at Anaplan, a consulting or implementation partner, or an end-user organization. Demonstrable experience with Anaplan integration tooling (Anaplan Connect, CloudWorks, REST APIs) is what sets you apart; Anaplan certification is a plus.
- 3+ years of hands-on experience building and running integrations or data pipelines: REST APIs, ETL/ELT, message-based integration.
- Solid SQL and scripting skills (e.g. Python). Experience with the Azure integration stack (Service Bus, Data Factory, Functions) and/or Databricks is a strong plus.
- Familiarity with ERP data structures; knowledge of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne is a plus.
- A structured application management mindset: you take ownership of stability, security, and continuity, and you know how to run a platform, not just build on it.
- Strong communication skills in English (Dutch is a plus); you bridge naturally between IT engineers and business planners.
